Lord

Lately, Christian-speak, has started to bug me. Christian-speak are those phrases we say, not really thinking about what we are saying, just to fill up time or as a stock answer. Thees and thous bother me. Once I counted "father" 15 times in a prayer. "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?" Does anyone have a real concept of what it means to be under lordship in America? What experience can we draw upon to compare how we are to act and treat our Lord? Can a person have a personal Lord? What a question. Who would not want a personal savior? What is it that makes humans so worried about others? Not the compassionate concern for their welfare, but the devious comparison to elevate one's own status. The implication in the statement is that, I have, have you? What if we are all saved? Wouldn't that piss some people off. They have spent a lifetime of pious self-deprivation and some schmuck gets the same prize. (by the way, I don't think we are all saved, just all can be saved)
