Free will

That begs the question ... if God himself is Absolute Truth, is then what God creates, or has written, or says also Absolute Truth?

-- creates -- This depends how you define "Absolute Truth" .... God created Satan and Hitler, most folks would not say that these characters represent "Absolute Truth".

-- has written -- Who knows what God (the Creator of the Universe) has written? Muslims, Jews, Christians and Hindus are all entitled to their beliefs of what He wrote (if anything :-)

-- says -- same as -- has written --

I suppose that God could have created absolutely perfect ("Truth") beings, but that those beings chose to be imperfect through the use of their free will. And on free will:

You say:

Because if what passes from God into existence goes from absolute to relative, then we have to face two potential prospects:

1. God is not sovereign; the control of Truth is out of his immediate control, or

Does the fact that God does not control everthing mean to you that God is not sovereign? If so, how do you reconcile that with the fact that God does not control our free will ?
