Hooray for Legalism!

Ron,

The article does have some truth, although I have never met anyone who was so off the deep end that they stopped having relations with their spouse.

On the other hand, the fact that I refuse to have a drink makes me legalistic? Yes, the idea of just telling him to his face that this will send him to hell might be over the top--but I am legalistic if I refused to have a beer?

The reverse would be true, then, as well. I would be legalistic if I had it in my head that if someone asks me to have a beer--I must. That's just as legalistic.

I offer no agreement or disagreement on any or all of the points.

I did not write it.

I simply posted it for the reading pleasure or disdain of others... and to allow you all to converse about it.


Carry on...

Beer is good.

There are worse things than a TOO many beers...........:sshhh like mean spirited bible thumpers.....that scream Holiness or hell on street corners.

IGNORANT POST OF THE DAY

Tell that to the 10's of 1000's of families that have lost their children to a drunk driver. I am sure they will understand.


Funny I have never heard of one innocent person being killed because a preacher on a street corner preached a holiness or hell sermon, have you??

Physically or spiritually?

Yes, every time some one is turned away from Jesus because of this.

Drunk drivers kill the flesh man and mean preachers are killing the spirit man. Whats the diff?

Are Guns the same?

Are all Guns to be banned too?

Funny, I never knew that preachers saved or made anyone lost. It is the Spirit of God that draws, and it is the choice of the individual to respond or reject. I have been around the road, and have seen the fall and demise of many men, but not one has made me turn back. I MADE the choice to follow Jesus. He became my all in all, and I do not follow another.

SO for the one that chooses Christ, all the mean preachers in the world will not hold them from an intimate relationship from him.

Not true if the "Christ" and "Christianity" they were shown was the wrong one. However, the right one can be found if that person is able to break free and has a true desire to know Him. But a time of spiritual dryness and even death can occur first in the process of healing.
