Why cant god give up some sovereignty if he want to?



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This is a theoretical question about which I cannot be dogmatic. There is no indication in the Bible that God would ever do so and much that indicates He won't - such as verses that say He controls whatever comes to pass as well as prophecies He guarantees will happen but which He couldn't guarantee if He gave up sovereignty. How could He be sure He would defeat Satan in the end if He stopped being God? And that's the theoretical problem - if God is defined as absolute, if He gives up sovereignty He's no longer absolute and thus no longer God.

ok but thats a reason why you believe he wouldn't want to give up sovereignty. It still means he could give it up if he wanted to.

Why cant he suspend sovereignty for a period of time or over some set of events knowing that on his return he can defeat satan?
