"disown yourself?" (Mark 8:34)
by Preston ini would like to get some insight into the bible's view of what it means to "disown oneself".
when i got baptized i took it in the literal sense, the own that the wbts is so often criticized for, that you are no longer putting yourself first.
rather, you are to do god's will, under the direction of the elders, for the rest of your life.
