Ohio,
I don't have time to reframe my question just yet about "allegiance". I'm not trying to "trap" you. I am looking for what you can honestly acknowledge that you did when you "gave" yourself to "Christ and the church" in the context of the LC.
1. What can you share about that? I'm asking for a solemn witness which means I am not asking for any positive or negative spin. Share what you understood your "pledge"/"commitment"/"giving of yourself" to be at that time.
2. Looking backwards at that commitment today, would you do it any differently today knowing what you know now? If so, what would be the difference? (Note: this 2nd question is a little broader than just your reconsideration of your original act of commitment to the LC vision.)
Hope, since you responded I'd like to hear your answer to those questions to.
My time is up for this morning, but your (Ohio) points about idolatry were very good. It is going to take me into the weekend to be able to respond. You've hit an element of history that I believe is "echoing" from further into the past. I want to present the previous element in history that I believe may be what establishes the "echo" you have pointed out.
Remind me again if I don't respond in a timely manner. I am not ignoring it. It's just going to take me a good 3-5 hours to pull the materials together to present.
Matt
