It is most interesting that you raise the same arguments thrown at Paul in Romans 9.

“You will say to me then, ‘Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will? (if you are right). On the contrary, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, ‘Why did you make me like this,’ will it?” Keep reading...some prepared beforehand for glory, some for destruction. Does this disturb you?

No, I don’t think the argument is the same. In Romans 9, Paul is discussing God ordaining certain peoples or nations to either blessing or wrath. That’s the context of the entire chapter. He isn’t speaking of sin or righteousness, or damnation and redemption for individuals.

He does mention sin and righteousness in verse 11, but only to illustrate (in the case of nations blessed before their founding individual was born) that God’s election in these matters is not based on the works of the founder.
