If we believe God is sovereign, then he is ultimately responsible for this mess we are in.

God is obviously not "sovereign" over you mouth.
Have you noticed?
He has.

Also, He's not "sovereign"over your deeds or your desires....as you have free will and God does not control it.

A FOOL blames God for the choices that a person makes that lead to consequences.

I think STV has a lot to answer for on Judgment Day.

Matthew 12:36-37
36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

It certainly may, but there may be hope for him.
He mocks God in public, and says,,,"its just a parody".
So, this is insidious, and not so clever.
Judgment Day for the lost is after they die.....whereas the "God is not mocked" happens down here while they are "in progress".

Ways to tell Job was not American...

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. - Job 1:22

KJV : The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

We all have the right to ask questions. God Himself invites us to... come, let us reason together. There is nothing wrong about wanting to understand better Who God is, and what He is like. Jesus condemned nobody for having doubts.

Are you saying your evil creature claimed rulership over the earth?
Yes, absolutely. Adam was given dominion over the earth. People who rule over dominions are called kings. Or princes. When Adam obeyed the serpent and in the same act disobeyed God, he surrendered sovereignty. The devil became the prince of this world. When the devil offered sovereignty to Jesus, it was a real temptation. He cannot offer something he doesn't have. Jesus, the second Adam, through obedience gained back for mankind what Adam lost. This is affirmed in Daniel where it says that the kingdom will at some time in the future be given to the saints of the Most High.
When Satan appeared in the heavenly council, and was asked what he was doing there, his reply, from "walking up and down on the earth" was a boast of ownership. God didn't contradict him. However, God did point out that not everyone on earth was under his rule. Job, among others, both then and today, are exceptions. And while the earth is today legally owned by Christ, physical rule over the whole planet does not take place until "all His enemies are placed under His feet". That has yet to take place.

Correct
The devil became the prince of this world.
You mean the Flesh i.e the seed of the serpent which is styled a false accuser in many texts - no fallen angel sorry Brakelite!
When the devil offered sovereignty to Jesus, it was a real temptation.
It's flesh which was the banner! So sad you are blinded to this. Those who are Christs have crucified the flesh....you know the quote just failure to understand.

The rest of your reply was SDA nonsense.

Threads that falsely accuse God and blame God, are not to be confused with "honest, sincere, questions".

Anyone should be able to understand this simple fact.
Isn't God able to judge the sincerity or lack thereof of those who raise their figurative fist to heaven and bemoan their personal circumstances or see things taking place in the world that seem unjust, unfair, and downright despicable with innocent people suffering and the wicked gaining wealth at the expense of the poor, and justifiably ask, why? It isn't a new question. People, even Solomon and David, asked similar questions and made similar observations. We can't all be Paul and sing hymns while in chains. Although that would be cool and something to aspire to... maybe.

How about those who falsely accuse God by default by attributing to Him doctrines that reflect the character of satan?

"God is not mocked".. and those who continue will face the consequences.
Its a fact.

So, when we see deceived fools on a Christian Forum abusing God with false accusations, we are seeing this happening. = "mocking".
The reason this happens is because most of these people are not really Christians,.... they are just opinionated religious fanatics who can post verses they can't understand (that are found in a Bible they dont even respect as they prove by their Thrreads)........... and so they post Threads that offend real believers as their "click bait" reason to be on the Forum.

That describes you.

Paul's Gospel is very simple.

We trust in Christ, NOW......while we are breathing, and God will give us "the Gift of Salvation".

So, your false Gospel, does not teach this as the only way to Heaven, so, you are described as "cursed" by Paul.
The NT pronounces this about you, and because you have even less regard for the bible then you have for God, you feel safe.

Galatians 1:8

Thats on you, and no forum Mod can help you with it.
