Romans 9:20-23 — the potter/clay passage as Calvinist proof-text on election

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 23) 00:23:52 – 00:26:25

Romans 9 is the parallel passage using the same potter/clay imagery but in a different theological context — election and salvation, not Christian conduct.

Romans 9:20-23: 'Who are you, O man, to answer back to God? What is molded will say to its molder, Why have you made me like this? Has the potter no right over the clay...' Paul speaks of vessels of wrath prepared for destruction and vessels of mercy prepared for glory. Mike reads this passage as addressing salvation and election, not Christian sanctification.
