I do understand. But isn't there a contradiction when you are desiring after the person who would have you do one thing but you do another? Doesn't it suggest that they actually desire something else? A different Christ (as abugian would have said it) or at least something other than Christ (as Matt is saying it)? A Christ that goes to the wilderness for more than 40 days — in fact, more like forever. One that doesn't care about your neighbor. One that doesn't care about the kind of justice that the Jesus of the gospels preached.
Sounds like they seek a God created in their image rather than the other way around. Oh. Uh. Well. Uh. My Goodnaise! (Think WL in a training meeting) Sounds like idolatry.
