Is this really a question?
Well, I was trying to spoof the Sanctification thread but things don't always work out right.
FWIW, Reprobation is Monergistic, its all of us and none of God!
There may be some "Equal Ultimacy" proponents here who may think otherwise but I don't believe even they would go to such absurdity but who knows...
What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction
Not hard to say it is all of God.

Does God bring about a man's reprobation?
How far and how literally do we carry this illustration? Does God the Perfect Potter Purposely Prepare vessels that are less than perfect?
Or should we just see the potter as a regular man who sometimes makes vessels that do not meet his rigorous standards and thus casts them aside in order to protect his personal integrity and reputation?
Then again, we are all marred vessels due to Adam's fall but God chooses to have mercy upon Some?
