I'm sure this is not worth a new thread but, dare I say it, I've just had what may be (possibly!) a spiritual insight.
I live in the UK and I've been furloughed for the last four months (at least, losing track of time!). I had a call from my boss today and he was umming and ahhing about future plans and I asked him, if it came to it, how would he select who to keep and who to let go. And he said that it's not really a case of him selecting people but more that certain people select themselves.
It made me think of the claims I've read here that "We're the True Church because we selected what documents and letters went into making up the New Testament canon."
Isn't it the reality that these documents selected themselves on merit and their membership only required rubber stamping?
