I am sitting here in shock having just read your post (#247). You have changed! A year ago I would have gotten a lecture on this misuse of metaphor and how this is due to WL.

Yes, I think I agree with you (perhaps I have changed a little too). The only verse I can think of is in Hebrews which says "seeing that we have so great a cloud of witnesses let us run the race". Therefore I would agree that spectators are part of the Christian life.

Which leads to the next question: does this cloud of witnesses refer to the saints who have died or to those that are alive as well?
