“Nay but, 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 not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use? — The ἐξουσία (exousia, "right/authority") of the κεραμεύς (kerameus, "potter") over the ἴδιος χῶμα (idios chōma, "same clay") is unconditional. From one mass, vessels (σκεύη, skeuē) arise: some honorable, some common. The divine sovereignty over creation is non-negotiable.
