Hmmm. I just had a thought (I would say an interesting thought, but it might not be that interesting), based on Brian's post in #11: As far as I know, the King of England declares himself to be the head of the church, even today. Clearly that violates the crown rights of King Jesus (as my Covenanter brethren would say). This was not the issue the colonists were fighting against, but how much does that relate to the issue of submission? Forgive me, I do not want to sidetrack this discussion.
