Re: You Might Be a Legalist when....
 

Elder Epley,
Are you refering to my several posts in this thread?
They were not meant to offend nor to condemn. They were meant to point out some inconsistencies in things "conservatives" or "holiness people" preach and practice. I think we all have some discrepancies between what we condemn in others and what we allow in ourselves. I know I can come across in a cutting and sarcastic way at times. And some times I say things for "shock value." I would not judge you or anyone on this forum. You are not my servants and I am not your judge as the Apostle Paul points out in Romans 14. I do not think of myself as a "despiser" of those who are good. We are brothers and sisters in Christ here and since we are children of the same Father we are to love one another. I've stated before that I think we should be able to agree to disagree without being disagreeable. If I have come across as disagreeable, please accept my apology.

This thread is the equivalent of sharing the family secrets, that is if you consider us brother and sisters.

Love and Mercy are nothing without Grace and Truth.

If your co-workers ask if you are in the same religion as the Mormon compound folks from Texas.

You might be the saint of a legalist pastor if......

...you go to a Gaither Homecoming concert and pray no one in your church sees you.

...you go to the races and never breathe a word of it to anyone.

...you let your wife go to the store without pantyhose but make sure she has them on Sunday.

...you grow a beard on vacation but make sure you shave before coming back to town.

those aren't really what makes a legalist a legalist....a hypocrite maybe or even a fake, but not a legalist

Re: You Might Be a Legalist when....
 

And to whom are YOU referring?

Guess what black folks don't thin n----r jokes are funny. When we who have not thrown our outward standards out the door and do think Acts 2:38 is essential are constantly called legalists by folks who can hug the homos-defend the most outlandish Charismatics-any fly by night denominal preacher but the church that birthed them and the preachers who preached to them are constantly mocked it does get a little tiring. But I am thick skinned however I do shoot back.:tease

Re: You Might Be a Legalist when....
 

I seriously doubt that unless some guy is hitting on more women at work.:tease
I preach in the most conservative churches in Pentecost and they do not look like the MOrmons however somel libs look like Tammy Faye and Jan and the whores of Hollywood.
