Which is why I never even mentioned "true freedom" or whatever the hell that this, so don't imply that I did. I try to live my life in a manner that I believe is practical, fulfilling, and moral. No fairy tales or skygods or myths required. So no, I'll pass on the offer to be a slave, as raucously fun as that sounds. I'll live my life my own way, thanks.

It is a greek construct and not one made orginally in the bible. I am take my ques from the bible only. I do assoceiate myself with several different 'denominations' as they strive to do the same. The harvest bible Chapel out of the Chicago area is one I most identify with. That said, know that the bible does not say God is 'All Loving.' John 3:16 says that God's Love is conditional. Omni-benevolence is a catholic doctrine first adopted/mandated in the 1870's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibenevolence Quite sometime after the bible was written.

We are a slave to sin and the master of sin in this life, which leads to the second death in the next life. So, both.

Do you get a lot of flack from all the other christians that believe opposite from you? I'm sure you don't care. Do you get questioned about you views from other christians that you first tell this to?
