You have the freedom to speak what you wish in this country, but you can be held accountable for your words and you can be indicted and convicted based on your words.
The bank robber has the freedom to choose to become a bank robber, that doesn't take away the sovereignty of the state to arrest, convict and imprison that bank robber.

But, we don't live in an absolute monarchy. Freedom, if it exists, relativizes authority. God cannot logically have absolute authority and allow freedom concurrently. To the degree that we are free, God's sovereignty is limited.
