Jesus is lord over my spiritual life. My material life doesn't have much to do with Jesus, one way or the other, because most of my material decisions have little do with religion.

You are confused. Religion is not spirituality. Religion is a set of traditions set up by men - Jesus ridiculed the traditions and religiosity of the Pharisees. Christianity is a RELATIONSHIP with God, not a set of rules.

If Jesus is not Lord over all of your life, then He isn't your Lord, becuase all of life is spiritual - all of it. Oh, I forgot - you reject biblical authority - You have your own special personal idea of Christianity that doesn't jive with anything other than your imagination.

Feel free to let God run your life. I'm secure enough in my intelligence to run my own life.

Go ahead and play God and be your own lord, but don't pretend to be a Christian while you do it. You have no authority other than your own for such a statement.

You are not the arbiter of my Christianity, so I would thank you to keep your snake-handling protestant views on the subject to yourself. You are no more qualified to judge my Christianity than I am to judge yours.
