"Likewise, if God sovereignly chose to give us free will, whether to worship or reject Him, how would that disprove His sovereignty?"

Like Israel, the church was meant to serve God. Without casting dispersions at anyone (for I fail as well), I see little genuine sacrificial serving of God. Instead, since man has "free will", we have reduce God down into a "homeboy" rather than our leader and champion. God is still sovereign. We just no longer recognize it.

BTW-It was through listening to a tape on the sovereignty of God by John MacArthur that lead me towards the Calvinist side of the tracks.

Is that necessary for salvation?

What "sacrificical serving of God" can you boast of?

And why are you looking at others?

Huh? That hardly follows. The fact that I can choose to rebel against my rightful sovereign does not suddenly make him my peer.
