”Romans 9:5” Wrote:But nay, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, “Why hast thou made me thus?”

Does it make sense to believe that god created me with all these wonderful faculties and then turned around expecting me to act like a lifeless piece of clay (as some versions render this verse)?

To me the verse is simply pointing out the wide gulf between an infinite Creator and the finite creation.
