"I" am no authority at all. "I" decide nothing.
That is an example of what I was trying to say in 2833 when I said "It seems to me that you talk in two different ways".
No, it doesn't make any sense to me at all. You *do* decide when to submit, and yet you don't decide anything at all. If that's not a contradiction, I don't know what is. But, like you said, I don't understand.

"But, like you said, I don't understand."
That's OK; you don't have to unless and until there is a proposed reunion. Then, well, it will become very, very important. In the meantime, not understanding won't affect your theosis in the least, my friend! :)
I peeked into some of your back-and-forth: quite interesting, and rather edifying to hear the respectful tone of voice. That's so welcome in this sharkfight known as FReeper Religious Dialog.
A Merry Christmas to you and to all!
