Simon, were the early Christians and Christ an entity/corporation?
Ships have names and as such are entities. You as a passenger on a boat had NO rights. Any mutiny meant being thrown overgoard without a trial. Corportaions are entities. An entity is not a free person. When we attach ourselves to an entity, are we not giving our freedoms away?
The inserted baptism question about recognizing the org. committs us to an enitity (slave) rather than Christ who freed us from slavery, entities. How does one reconcile such a contradictory arrangement?
Additional thoughts would be helpful on this subject.
