The word just means fair, look it up.
If all men are equally bad, then God should elect all or none to be fair. It is you that struggles with this, not me. It is Calvinism that must resort to the "potter" argument to explain away what appears to be injustice to reasonable persons. Your own God-given conscience is troubled as you admitted.
A potter does not intentionally make defective work, this is where Calvinism goes off the track. A potter will reject a defective work that cannot be fixed, but he doesn't make it defective by design.
Uncondional Election denies justice for the very fact that it does not take the man into consideration.
If the Police simply arrested people on a whim, and not according to whether they had committed a crime, would they be just?
UC is a man made doctrine that is not scriptural and denies God's own words that he will justly judge every man according to their works.
You don't like nor accept God's justice. You allude to mans works that God should consider those. You don't see God as fair. You can't stand it. It angers you.
As to your reply and nonsensical ramblings:
Uh, not even close. Nice way to twist words. Nice, fabricating way to twist what is going on with you inside, to try and attempt to lay it on me. I think you're worked up again. Yes?
You're analogy of the potter is not close to biblical. I hope you can see that. It's your words, not God's. It's not the testimony of Romans 9. You've rewritten it to your liking, because to see it as it is truly makes you angry and you think God unfair. It's bleeding through your writings again.
You don't think God is fair. Plain and simple.
When I said I struggled with it, I meant biblically, figuring it out. But it's right there. I had to face it, and it's beautiful in it's teaching and representation of Gods ways.
The injustice that appears to you is further proof that you don't see God as fair. Or in a full Biblical context.
I see all of it as God being Just. I have not trouble with it at all. You on the other hand? You can't take it. You're angry about it.
Also, the Potter has power over the clay, to make one vessel to honor, the other to dishonor. Isn't that what Scripture says instead of this nonsense you've just spewed, in order to, as I've said, make God after and according to your own liking?
This is
exactly what you do and have done.
Your assessment and weak, non-biblical analogy of the potter is theological shipwreck. It's not truth. It's a total denial of the Biblical model. It is not the testimony of the passage you've mishandled.
That you use these unbiblical, Bible truth denying illustrations, against Scriptures truth, to prove your point is startling, friend.
And shameful.
