> Cloudy, thanks for asking about the post title. The phrase 'who brought you out of Egypt' is part of the first of the Ten Words, better known as the Ten Commandments - the instructions that God gives to his people Israel in the Bible (Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21). The phrase is to remind believers that YHWH is a God of deliverance, who has destined them to be free from slavery. I used this phrase to imply that Lou's burden of 'saving souls' may be a treacherous form of slavery - a burden seemingly imposed by God himself.

In light of your post's meaning, I expect this thread might be redirected to the Faith Board.
The other thing that occurs to me is that perhaps your implication might be misplaced.Thanks for giving me and others a clue.
