Take Saul/Paul. Before he was such a dedicated and zealotrous christian, what was he? A really dedicated and a zealotrous Jew!!! He was very dedicated, just misguided until he had the right "vision".

Idolatry in a system of Christianity doesn't work if only the leaders do it. Sorry, but I have to continue to disagree with you on this one.

Don't compare me to "zealotrous" Saul ... or today's suicide bombers ... nosiree !!! ... back in the beginning ... we were passionate for the right thing -- Christ -- Christ -- only Christ -- but that time was short lived for me -- and for many others ... then MaxR came around ... sent by headquarters ... bringing the works of the flesh ... and rarely ... only rarely ... did we taste that move of the Spirit again.
