To want to genuflect before him and be ruled over by him. As an American, the idea of a central, non-democratically elected leader is completely anathema to my beliefs, and it confuses me that so many self-proclaimed patriots here seem so willing to be lorded over in a divine sense. IMO, a beneficial dictator is still a dictator.
So, Christians of AF, why do you want to be lorded over by Jesus? Why is this something you desire?
I wouldn't say that it was something that I was seeking for when I became a Christian or anything.
I don't have authority issues though (probably good, because there are many authorities over me), so I don't really understand your problem.
And in retrospect, when I wanted to be my own ruler and go my own way, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I prefer my life now.
