[MarkBsnr]

Mark, harmony does not have to be a two-way street. The God of the Bible demands obedience. We see that in the OT, we see it in Mary, and in Jesus. The Holy Spirit leads, and men follow. It's a one way street.

Obedience in return for salvation. God wants obedience, even coerced obedience, but does not frogmarch us.

The opposite of harmony is discord, disobedience, rebellion.

Discord, yes; no to disobedience and to rebellion. These may develop from a lack of harmony, but they are not antonyms of harmony.

God does not force you, but if you come to God then God will always be in charge. And you will always be the follower.

True, but we are speaking of the human and divine natures of Jesus.

[kosta50]

What is sin, Mark? Is sinniong not discord with God? It is also not a rebellion against him? Submission is the only “clean” path to sinlessness. Obedience is not conditional. You don’t say I will obey God if he saves me. If you do, that’s not Chrisitanity. Christianity is “thy will be done.”
