Can you tell me at what point God lost His sovereignty? When did His creation begin to make the decisions?

He allowed Adam to sin..He selected Noah to survive the flood,the tower to fall, He selected Abraham to be the father of many nations..He selected Issac over Ishmael, Jacob over Essau, He selected Judah to receive Israel's spiritual blessing and Joseph the material (out of the normal order ). He hardened Pharaohs heart, and oversaw the slaughter of the infant males in Egypt..the drowning of the army of Egypt. He selected Israel to be a special people, and David to be the King..He decided to make Bethlehem the birthplace of the Savior and Mary the mother. He chose the cross for redemption..

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Every knee will bow SK..that indicates a Sovereign God to me??

When He created them in His image. See Genesis.

Just when I thought you were ready to drop the game-playing to have an honest discussion...

I give up. I and others have stated and restated our belief in His sovereignity - directly answering your accusation repeatedly. Yet you persist.

One more time, I repeat from my earlier post: I said I acknowledge His omnipotence and love Him more for His choosing not to exercise His power over us so that we could come to Him out of Love.
