God humbled Himself so that we can be saved. God is not a control freak.Am I to take it that a "control freak" is any Being who dares to step on the sovereignty of man? :)

Am I to take it that a "control freak" is any Being who dares to step on the sovereignty of man? Only a man-made God would be afraid and offended by man, or subject to human vices, such as jealousy, and pleasure. Only such a God would have to exert complete control over man out of fear that man (o, the mighty man!) could thwart His will, and threaten His sovereignty. Only such a God would demand sacrifice and complete obedience and allow no freedom. His people would be the puppets on the string, and He would be their puppeteer. Such is the Reformed God.
