Does God's sovereignty make humans guilty of sin?

Answered in 1 source

While God's sovereignty encompasses all actions, it does not absolve humans of their guilt for sin (Genesis 50:20).

God's sovereignty indeed governs all actions, including those that appear sinful or resistant to His will. However, this does not negate human responsibility; people remain accountable for their choices. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph acknowledges his brothers' evil intentions towards him, stating, 'You thought evil against me; but God meant it for good.' This passage exemplifies the tension in divine sovereignty and human culpability. Despite God's overarching plan, individuals are still held responsible for their actions, illustrating that divine sovereignty and human agency coexist, each with its implications.
