Reepicheep on The Anchored Argosy

Okay, the paradigm of binding the conscience makes a lot more sense, thanks. There should be a very high bar for doing so in what we would call prudential matters. I’m still not a huge fan of language which calls to mind a secular/sacred distinction (e.g. words like sacralization). How do we remember that everything is holy and owned by God, while discouraging the zeal without knowledge which characterizes those who hastily bind the conscience? To me, scripture’s injunction to pray for all rulers helps in this regard. It reminds the partisan-minded that they must honor even their political enemies; and if God says to honor them, their must be something sacred going on.
