Are vessels of wrath able to become vessels of mercy?

Ive explained what I need to explain and you don't receive it. Rom 9:22 states God is willing, its His will to make some people as vessels of wrath, to make His Power Known, and fit them for destruction.
He is willing to delay (longsuffering) to allow those who will repent and turn to Him.

WHAT CAN YOU NOT SEE THE OPENING OF THAT VERSE IS A QUESTION.
 
unscriptural

It states he endured them with longsuffering. What was the purpose of Him enduring with longsuffering?

Does your Holy father enjoy peoples misery?

Mine does not.
 
Looks like God actuated the thoughts of both of you to be right in your doctrine, lest any man should boast. Who is right? What is your response that was predetermined from the foundation of the world?
It was not predetermined from the foundation of the world.

But what I believe was posted here and my comments to brightfame52

Again you ignore the reason for their continued hardening

Heb 3:8 Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
Heb 3:15 while it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”
Heb 4:7 He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.”

The Jews had for the most part had not believed on Christ. They had hardened themselves and provoked God

Did Heb 3:8 not state they provoked God?

That when they did so they hardened their heart?

regarding your interpretation

1 Peter 2:7–8 (UASV) — 7 It is to you, therefore, that he is precious, because you are believers; but to those not believing, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” 8 and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;” for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this very end they were also appointed.

Because of their disbelief, they become a rock of offense to Christ who became a stone over which they stumble.

Can you show it was not their unbelief that caused Christ to be a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to them?


And (και [kai]). Peter now quotes Is. 8:14 and gives a new turn to the previous quotation. To the disbelieving, Christ was indeed “a stone of stumbling (λιθος προσκομματος [lithos proskommatos]) and rock of offence (πετρα σκανδαλου [petra skandalou]),” quoted also by Paul in Rom. 9:32f., which see for discussion

Note how the greek scholar above states exactly what I did.
 
It says more than that. He fitted them for destruction to make known His Power!

You ignored the part of

God's longsuffering

Those vessels of wrath had caused God's long-suffering; as a result, they fitted themselves for destruction.
 
You have failed to show one scripture that stated what you stated.
You offer nothing but bald denials

Addressing nothing

LOL I post a multiplicity of scripture and you simply ignore it

This shows the falsity of your claim.

You ignored scripture

When he makes people bad intentionally how is that justice
Who are you to question the Potter ? Hath not the Potter a right to do as He will ? Rom 9 19-22

19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

20 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?

21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
