I believe in the total Sovereignty of God...we are what we are and where we are because that's what God planned for us. Everything that happens to us or will happen to us is directed expressly by the hand of God. God is not at the mercy of puny man's decisions. I do not believe God has turned the reigns over to us at any time and there is plenty of scripture to back that up, as you well know.

Dominion means dominion, Christy. There would be nothing for us to do but walk through our robotic already determined existence if what you and Fundy believe were true. That is ridiculous. What would be the point? Talk about infinite waste of time!

I think she means the reins of our salvation, not just reins in general.
