1 | Are Sovereignty and Free Will Exclusive? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 15522 | ||
Greetings Bill Mc! Well said! The only point I would add to is that I don't think that God has to set aside His sovereignty in order for us to have free will. Here's why! Nowhere in Scripture is sovereignty defined as "making every choice" or "being responsible for every thing". He is Lord. What He says ultimately goes, but we can also exercise choice in our limited sense. If I freely choose a Big Mac over a cheeseburger, God dosen't suddenly stop being God. But, I am also aware that our "free will" is very limited. There are a lot of things over which we have no choice at all, other than how we respond to them. Overall, I think you are right on! If you want an excellent book that views things the way you do, check out A. W. Tozer's, "The Pursuit of God". It is one of the best explanations of God's sovereignty I have ever read. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
