One of the problems I have with the christian faith, even though I have come to accept god, is that to follow him I have to accept being called "one of the flock", or in other words, a sheep. To me, that epithet is an insult, implying you unthinkingly follow what others do, which is no way to worship in my opinion - I've always been taught to question and make my own decisions when I have more knowledge.
Could someone please explain to me what god means by inviting us to be part of his flock?
Thank you as ever
