that is why, when he says jump, i ask how high.

Yes, taughtbuffet, your position is clear.

For my Christian friends, they describe this relationship, as a mater-slave relationship.

That's fine, as it appears that is what you want.

My Christian friends claim a more personal relationship with God.

The other problem is that it's not always clear what the instructions (jump?) are. For example one of the 10 commandments forbids killing and then God has commanded people to kill is scripture.

1 Samuel 15:2-3
New International Version (NIV)

Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

Is that clear enough?
