You might be a legalist when you judge and condemn others you believe to be legalists.

Legalist. Hypocrite. Not much difference.

What do you call someone that has one but DOESN'T hide it?

A legalist is someone who does not watch TV but still weighs 350 lbs...

The folks who have most to say about love and mercy have the least of it. Honestly they are NOT studying prophecy they are fulfilling prophecy "like being dispisers of those who are good." They love the world and desire to be like the world because they are of the world.

Jesus was gentle towards the adulterer, the tax collector, was a public associate of the wine bibbers....

He had very little in kind words for hypocrites. Legalists = Hypocrites imo.

The Bible says they make their converts twice the son of hell.


The Bible says they (paraphrased) they keep others out of Heaven when they themselves aren't going.


The Hypocrites = Legalists killed Jesus, our Savior!

So forgive me if I come across a little harsh when describing folks who fit the Bible's description "whited sepulchers who are filled with dead men's bones".


Yet, even for the legalist, there is mercy, when we repent.

This thread was meant to be in fun, you don't find it funny with all of our inconsistencies. It is a wonder if any of us will be saved!

Sometimes you gotta laugh at yourself, some of us take ourselves way to seriously.
