But where does Paul says God creates beings to be dammed to hell with no chance of softening their hardened hearts, and no ability to accept the Grace of God freely given?

Paul's illustration of the relationship of the potmaker to the pots in Romans 9 is telling. The pots have no say in the matter, of course. They are inanimate. They are dead, just as are the unregenerate. In particular, 9:22 is explicit that some are created "for destruction".

So a simple yes/no question - Does God create people who are predestined to hell?

Yes. To His Glory.

If you can't accept that, I would suggest your view of God is too small.

So your god created people to be eternally punished. And somehow that gives him glory.

A god who creates people to be eternally punished with no chance of redemption is evil.
