You replied: "I believe God is sovereign over both. ... his created beings ... are judged according to their choices ... and He uses *that choice* to determine who will be saved and who will be lost and only those who limit God deny Him that power."
Do you give Him the sovereignty / power to elect some or all of the unborn who die in the womb, infants who die soon after birth, children who die at a young age, those who are born mentally retarded, those who become mentally incompetent (through accident or health problems) as adults?
Do you deny Him the sovereignty / power to elect such as those above who haven't "made a choice"?
For instance, are all unborn babies and other incompetents consigned to hell?
Certainly not! At least there is no Scriptural basis for supposing they are.
