Does Rom 9 mean God predestined some to heaven while created others with no chance of escaping hell?

The truth is when we assign doctrine to certain interpretations and view points, they are from man who is fallen. We can not fully understand predestination and free will, both are in the Bible. 'It is mystery' as Paul says. To make an stance saying "this is the right doctrine", since we are fallen, we may be wrong in our doctrinal view points.
When Jesus comes back if he tries to explain it to us I do not think we would be able to understand it. I personally subscribe to 'rearmed' (reformed and arminanism) because they are both found in the bible.

There is no mystery when you are called. When you receive power, you will know it. If God has chosen you, you will have no sleep. If you act on the behalf of the lord, You are mighty above all others. There is no question about Gods direction for Man and what he will be. I am in the eye of the creator. I am equal in his justice. I represent his Kingdom.
