“On the contrary…”
On the contrary, who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this? ”
Romans 9:20 — Christian Standard Bible
Therefore, who are you, oh son of man, that you give a rebuttal to God? Does the thing formed say to the one who formed it, “Why have you made me this way?”
Romans 9:20 — Aramaic Bible in Plain English
But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”
Romans 9:20 — English Standard Version
So many, far too many believe they can contend with God. Argue with God. Debate God. Go toe to toe with God. For they do not comprehend the beyond comprehension magnitude of God the Creator, God the Father to His children who believe in Him and serve faithfully His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
So many, far too many lower God to their level. What a brazen and foolish undertaking that is, as if it could even be accomplished by any man or woman.
Who humbles themselves anymore? Who bows and submits anymore? Those in utter darkness and bound to and by sin certainly do not. And sadly most professing to be Christians are indistinguishable from those. Creating false teachings and false gospels. Imagining the Word of God ought to be and can be expanded upon — that Christ alone is not enough. Jesus is not preeminent in their hearts, their spirits, their minds, their daily lives.
Who is anyone here made by God capable of contending with, debating, arguing with God the Creator of all things along with Jesus Christ Creator of all things?
But who are you, who am I, O man, O woman, anyone on this earth the Lord has made to answer back to God?
