Can we reconcile those?
It kinda makes sense...a little...
Well, controlwise, it's either we have it, or God has it. 2 or more entities can't have control at the same time. It clearly states in the Bible that God is sovereign, meaning that he has complete utter independent control and authority over all things. So clearly, God's in control. And if God's control, we aren't then.
But in the Bible, it also says that we have free choice. We can make decisions. So humans have 'free choice' then.
Can we have 1) free choice...
and God be 2) Sovereignty...
at the same time? I think so...
Well, because, first off the Bible says so lol...they are already both true so...it's def not a lie.
So perhaps how can these two go together? God has total control....We have free choice....
Perhaps, "God has control over our free choice"?...that's just a thought on it...
Perhaps, "God has control over our free choice"?...that's just a thought on it...
But then, what is "free choice" again?....is it the same as being in control, when you have a choice? lol
I'm just gonna leave it there...it's quite a weird question to end off on. Not really a conclusion...
These discussions could go on...they're interesting. But one thing is, you're not supposed to understand everything about God anyways. Simply, because He's God. What does it make of Him...if we understand Him fully? We're starting understand humans (e.g. psychology, etc)...but not even close to prob discovering everything about them, and He's God. Why even try to discover exactly how he works.
Just worship Him for who He is. That's what makes Him awesome. Not knowing what He's all about (by that, I mean, 'how everything God does works out'. But DO know more about who He is..in the Bible).
