One of the immutable attributes of God is His omnipotence. If God's will in anything is subservient to man or the will of man, God's will is, by extensition, not sovereign in that area. Accordingly, God is made, so to speak, less than omnipotent. Therefore, God would no longer be immutable. Real Bad theology Jorge.

You must reconcile God's holiness as well as His sovereignty and omnipotence. Howya gonna do it?

This is easy.
God willingly allows man a degree of free will. This in no way compromises his omnipotence. How silly.

Wouldn't one characteristic of omnipotence be the ability to withhold exercising power and sovereignty? After all, if God cannot control His power, if He cannot exercise a choice to withhold His sovereignty, then He's not omnipotent.
