There seem to be two reasons for these. Those who want freedom from authority, and those who desire authority. Those two reasons lead to a completely different path in life and redemption, of course, but it remains that authority or freedom are the driving forces.

Smvoice tell me; Is a train more free when it is on the authority of the tracks or when it is off?

I wouldn’t compare the final Authority of God’s Word as a train being off the tracks. But I WOULD compare a train being on the track, using the engineer as the authority, being in grave peril. It’s the Authority on the switch that has control. Just because a man is in the front of the train doesn’t mean he’s in control of it at all. He may THINK he’s in control, and those on the train may THINK he’s in control, but the one at the switch KNOWS better.
