]]> Comment on God is Irresponsible by van http://cyber-chapel.org/blog/?p=282&cpage=1#comment-88 van Wed, 19 Oct 2011 11:35:00 +0000 http://cyber-chapel.org/blog/?p=282#comment-88 If you think about the texts that use the עלל word family of people, I think you'll agree that it has a moral "edge" that "autonomous" is lacking. By using the term of himself, God is emphasizing the difference between what he can do and what people are allowed to do. There is a sterility in "autonomous" that I don't think fits the human contexts. It may be more comfortable to us theologically, but I suspect that part of what lies behind God's choice here is precisely the desire for a shock effect, to wake us up to his distinctive nature.

It is good and right for God to be reckoned sovereign. It is wrong and foolish for man to consider himself sovereign, except over things where God has given him rule. Van,

For this description of both men and God, I think the English words “sovereign” and “sovereignty” fit both meanings. It is good and right for God to be reckoned sovereign. It is wrong and foolish for man to consider himself sovereign, except over things where God has given him rule.
