When were these vessels created?I do not think you correctly understand the Calvinist doctrine of election because Calvinists whole-heartedly believe all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Furthermore, that first sentence is NOT supported by scripture because God plainly stated what He made was very good and sinless. How then would God create a good and sinless people and make the vessels of God's wrath? What justification for ANY wrath exists with a good and sinless people? At best you've created misrepresentations and arguing a strawman. At worst the post is blatant falsehood nowhere supported by scripture or Calvinist doctrine.
Hogwash. Post 127 leaves something out: application.
When were these vessels created?
What mercy does a good and sinless creature need?
What were the other vessels created?
When monergism speaks of God "creating" vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath it does so without contradicting Genesis 1:31 and Romans 5:12. The first two vessels God made were very good vessels and in them there was no sin. They, therefore, were not created as vessels of wrath, nor vessels of mercy. The vessels of wrath and mercy were selected from the exact same group of people: sinners. There were no sinners until Genesis 3:6-7. That is when the differing "vessels" were created. All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but God, in his grace and mercy, has seen fit to save some but not all. His mercy is not dependent on the way a person walks or what s/he wills; He has mercy on whom He has mercy, and it is dependent on the will and purpose of God. The "clay" from which the vessels were made was originally good and sinless. Having become adulterated, God made some vessels for noble purposes and some for ignoble purposes.
Having the carnal disposition that Adam had and his non spiritual disposition to overcome the carnal mind is what led him to sin thus he was subject to death or vanity. Now. what happened when the law entered amd why was the law introduced?
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
It is the new spiritual creation that has been quickened out of death and it is that man that God desires and calls to himself.
The old man is dead with Christ in his death thus put away for good.
Yes, the first Adam was created as a vessel of wrath fit for destruction.
1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
I have provided scriptural proof and so your objections fail.
Adam being good or very good is still coming short of the glory of God which is life and bot the death condition Adam was in.
Also, Genesis 1:2.3 is a prologue and it is not in the beginning that Adam is made in the true image of God but after Jesus atonement.
Furthermore, God saves all or he saves none!
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Rom 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Rom 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Rom 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
The Calvinist doctrine is a heretical doctrine and denies the Lord who has redeemed them. However, they will be dealt with.
