By the way, this is a paradox.

Yes, God is sovereign, and his will is never thwarted.

At the same time, we are responsible for our actions.

This may be difficult for you to understand, but it isn't for God.

There are mysteries in the world that we can't fully understand.

If there could possibly be anything difficult for God to understand, it's Calvinism.

I DO believe that is exactly what I told you
in post 66


"Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret thing belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law."

Amen. I wish more Calvinists would admit as such. They constantly hold up the "God is absolutely sovereign" facet as if it were the entire truth.

The truth is larger than this one facet.

God gets what He wants and what we do matters.
