"Which sovereign God? God as seen through whose eyes?"

According to orthodox biblical Christianity:

The sovereign God can only be seen through the eyes of those who have the mind of Christ:

Paul: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? But we (the regenerate brethren) have the mind of Christ [1 Cor.2:16]

Jesus: "... for ONE is your Master, [even] Christ; and you are ALL brethren." [Matt. 23:8]

Paul: "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man (one of "the brethren" in whom is the Holy Spirit) makes judgements about all things, but he, himself is not subject to __ANY__ man's judgement". [1 Cor.2:14]
