Sovereignty more accurately communicates the biblical idea of an activist God, who goes out of his way to create, nurture, and save a fallen world. Aristotle's Prime Mover is majestic, but only indirectly sovereign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-71703894401173000502012-01-24T15:25:11.911-05:002012-01-24T15:25:11.911-05:00Are you suggesting a doctrine of the archetypicali...Are you suggesting a doctrine of the archetypicality of God?

The Pharoahs and the Emperors of old were often alive at the same time and no one would sya that they were not majestic. But they were co-equals, of sorts. Our sovereign God has no equal.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02067844122370343813noreply@blogger.com
