The fact that you posed this question as an objection against the Calvinistic interpretation of Romans 9 is an independent witness that we Calvinists are reading Romans 9 correctly. And Paul is warning you in particular about the problem of doctrinal hard-heartedness.
18 Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth He yet find fault? For who hath resisted His will? Romans 9:18&19
Sorry the_doc but i don't think I did any such thing.
The Lord be with you,

This is our convention on these threads. Polemical friends and foes get flagged alike on the posts. But unless otherwise specified, the post is actually addressed to the first person named in the address block.
I had meant to include you in the same way in my post #14, BTW.
