Just a few times I’d love to see someone THIS into ‘fixing’ the minutiae of their life and the way it interacts with their faith, and see a lifelong, unchanging relationship between the two.
Guys who get super into this level of nitpicking never end up sticking with it, all my life I’ve seen them burn hot, get REALLY into being a fundamentalist in spirit (for whatever subset of Christianity they follow) and then fall away because it was just too difficult to maintain forever.
In the end they become the ones lecturing you to lead you further astray, because “oh well I did that and I’m way happier ignoring all those commandments” because they write off the large and the small as if they’re the same thing.
But orthodoxy isn’t my scene, so IDK how their people feel about this approach. I’d just like to see someone hold the line like this so I don’t always assume I’m seeing an apostate in the making.
