Breaking up with God -or- Choice Moments
I am leading a class on Luther’s Large Catechism. We are studying the Ten Commandments. On Saturday, I shared the following proposition with those who gathered:
If you take away my choice (my ability to choose, or the occasion for me to make a choice), then you annihilate my relationship with God.
I believe this is true in every case, that it can be applied to any circumstance.
However, I would like to test it more thoroughly than is possible in my own, individual reflections. Especially given the fact that I write without authority. Please comment on the statement. Do you agree or disagree? And why? I encourage you to be as concrete as possible--I would like to put flesh on this abstract claim.
I will share my own thoughts, and dialogue with your comments in a future blog.
