I'm an immature, milk drinking Christian curious on how Arminians (Classical, Wesleyan etc) interpret the passage of Romans 9. Thank you!

Arminian view of Romans 9?

The gentiles are common vessels and the Jews are vessels made for a special purpose (the same analogy is used by Paul in 2 Tim. 2:20 (same Greek words). Nothing leaves the Potter's shop made ready for destruction, since potters at that time did not make clay pigeons, but put there mark on everything they made. Those ready for destruction common or special are those that were poorly cared for and broke. It is not talking about God predestining individuals for salvation and others for hell, but how it does not matter if you started out a Jew (made for a very special purpose or a Gentile (made for a common purpose) when it comes to that all important decision to accept or reject God's Charity. Either party can become worthless by becoming cracked, but that is after it left the potter's shop in great shape.
