Can you explain this further? How does the lord provide sovereignty? If he bequeaths it, does he not have the power to take it back, thereby negating the sovereignty he has granted.

If you have life, then the Creator gave it to you. If he gave it to you, then no lesser being can take it from you. This is the right to life.

This right is further confirmed by the Creator's law that no one should murder. You therefore have the right to defend your life.

This is sovereignty on the earthly, horizontal plane (between men); but we have no sovereignty on the vertical plane (between man and his Creator) -- because He alone is sovereign in that relationship.

Thank you for the clarification. It was never clear to me how one who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ could claim to be sovereign, but as you explain, sovereignty between men (earthly plane) is different than the sovereignty between man and the lord (which does not, and can not exist)
