Well, to be frank, you believe that your body is your own to do with as you see fit.

That is mind reading.....

And you are wrong.

You believe in bodily autonomy, and that the Church has no right to constrain you in this regard.

The church has no authority over anyone but those who choose to place themselves under it. I am free in Christ and will not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

This isn’t really surprising. “The church has no right to tell ME what to do”. Fair enough, but I’m pretty certain I’m correct here.

The *church* hasn't been given the *right* to tell ANYONE what to do. It may lay claim to it, but it wasn't given to them.

Yet it is Paul who says that you were bought for a very dear price.

“The *church* hasn’t been given the *right* to tell ANYONE what to do. It may lay claim to it, but it wasn’t given to them.”

It was given to them by Christ.
