Because I think that what I'm doing is getting me right with God, that because of it I... in talking at me. But you did say that this reminded you of legalism, so maybe this entry can help you understand my motivation in wanting to be ...

... but what if I'm right?

... strong adherence to the ten commandments, a system by which alot of people can agree is a pretty complete set of rules by which to govern oneself. Jesus basically summed that whole system up, cut out the legalism, and sent it back to us in a nice, clean package which doesn't attack, offend, or opress. That is my religion. That is Christianity. Anything beyond that is fluff. With that out of the ...

I Dont' Want To Go Through The Motions

... ritual that has the appearance of righteousness without the substance of a changed heart. This does occur in the immature believers who don't know any better, and mature believers given to pride. Legalism is trying to replace relationship with obedience. The other side is Lawlessness, where there is no change of heart, and there are no motions gone through either. Lawlessness is trying to have a ...

Disguised Legalism

... made rules were nothing more than legalism and were not of God at ...exception and not the rule. Yet Legalism is still alive within the faith...less than conditional compassion or, disguised legalism. To avoid falling into the trap of disguised or even blatant legalism we must hang on to ... to be a part of legalism. I have personally experienced God's... love for all of us.

Other things, before I go to bed...

... be a bit more liturgical than I prefer, and there's that whole "I've never seen a Mennonite church where the guys aren't wearing suits" thing, which tends to concern me from a legalism perspective. But! Mennonites helped found Ten Thousand Villages, which I think is super-awesome. You know- I can write thousands upon thousands of words in LJ daily, but trying to apply this output level to my...

Did Paul REALLY Teach that ALL Things are Lawful? Or Was that the Gnostics?

.... (1 Cor 6:12) 1st, the translation: "All things are LAWFUL unto me", is NOT what the Greeks says. Everytime we see any kind of "Law" in Greek, whether it be the "Law of Sin Equals Death", Legalism, Roman Law, G-d's Law, natural Laws, or the teachings of the Phariseesthe Greek root word "Nomos" is always used, and it is always translated as "Law" in English. The word "Nomos" isn't in this verse ...

Our Daily Bread: 29 November 2009

... no one would choose to name a church this unless it was a geographic necessity. A study of the biblical book of Galatians reveals that it is Paul’s most fiery letter—criticizing the people for legalism, self-effort, and the exchange of grace for a different gospel.
