Suppose you are a mechanic, and I come to you and ask you to change the oil in my car. After a couple of hours, you come get me and tell me that you changed the oil, replaced the brake pads, and rotated the tires. Did you do as I asked? By what authority did you do the extra things?

And if he did all those things simply because he loved you and didn't charge you for them, would you complain?

You're analogies really are disconnected.

P-Marlow, you might as well be talking to a stump. I tried to tell JKL that when Christ returns, He will return with a shout and with the trumpet of God according to scripture. JKL's sect can then tell God that trumpets are forbidden in worship because Paul said so, and there will be some heavy worshipping going on when God decides to bring out His trumpet and the dead in Christ arise. - You are wasting your time, but cheer up - anyone who might have even considered visiting a CoC is SO put off it by the pedantic, overbearing, imperial attitude of this guy or gal or whoever the heck it is. He/She evidently actually thinks someone is trying to make him not sing acapella. . and really, who gives a rip?

I would not take my car back to that mechanic. He did not do as I asked.
