Featured Is God not sovereign in a Christan's life after we are saved?

Yes.

No. But He will 'minimize' His blessings when He deems fit.

Very wrong question posited from a very wrong attitude. You should ask yourself why He hasn't blessed you to see it.

 

I read the title and the op and this may be the dumbest question ever asked at the BB.

Regardless of anyone's opinion, God is 100% Sovereign over every aspect of His creation at all times.

We can now close the thread. The answer has been given.

 

No. you asked:

"...has God failed in His sovereignty to lead me to right and proper doctrine?"

I consider it a blessing from God to take repose in the doctrine of His sovereign grace. For some reason you haven't been blessed to do that, thus the question:

"...why He hasn't blessed you to see it?"

 

Christ taught in parables, why?

Though these doctrines of grace are not in riddles and dark sayings but are clearly plainly taught and many choose to reject them, why?

 

Well according to your reformed theology it is because God has not allowed them to do so. So the question remains, Why not?
Since God desire for all His children to have a right relationship with Him and yet many do not the question for you is how is this possible under your calvinist theology?

 

God is Sovereign! Always! For all time!
Problem is, Calvinists think Sovereign means micromanaging dictator. It does not.
If God could not grant free will, He would not be Sovereign.

 

He was sovereign before you got saved

 

Good thing Calvinists don't claim that

 

The free will of the calvinists is not free will. If you only have the option of saying NO that is not free will but then again if you only have the option of saying YES it is not free will either. Free will is having the option of saying YES or NO.

The basis or ground of human responsibility is human ability. Even though man does have a free will, he has no capacity for saving himself. Eph_2:8 God graciously draws people to Himself, Joh_12:32 but free will is the means by which salvation is received. Eph_1:13

 

Keep that in mind as you read threads on here. They devolve into if man can choose, God is not Sovereign. Thanks for making my point, some of the "Calvinists" on here are ridiculous and the echo chamber does not call them out.

 

You must also remember, I believe Calvinists do believe in free will. We just look at the reality of free will and not an absolute free will without influences.

 

It may be you have an inaccurate understanding of reformed theology and God’s work in salvation.

Some continuously argue that if God is sovereign in salvation, per reformed theology, the person becomes a robot, an automaton; and doesn’t come to Christ of their own “freewill”

So, if you come to the discussion thinking reformed theology means a person’s mind is completely controlled by God, it makes sense to think God would program all His “robots” to think alike.

If I have misunderstood your position I apologize in advance.

Personally, I pray God have more control of my mind. I would desire nothing other than having the mind of Christ 100% of the time.

Unfortunately, we live this treasure in earthen vessels.

peace to you

 

You keep referring to "absolute free" but there is no such thing, except for God. You deny that man has a God given free will which means that you have to deny many texts of scripture, but you do not seem to have a problem with that.
