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?
But what if that non democratically elected leader was your personal Father.... Could you still not see any benefit that may befall you and your brothers and sisters personally? So what if he is brutally hard on those who hate you and your siblings, so what if he is known as a tryant for those who rebell and rebuke His authority..
Now before you go off and defend your little life.. know my answer does not judge you specifically but answers your question. Why would you want a non duely elected "lord" over you. Again it is because we are 'kin' to that lord and see the benefits from coming from Him. And it does not matter what other people see. we know they see what they want to see because they are not included in their current state therefore can and will say/do anythig to make God the evil one for not being all inclusive.
