HOGWASH!

We are saved by grace through faith. Because of His grace, His favor, we should continue to walk in all the precepts set down in His word, not just the ones we have a conviction on. If the Bible says that something is wrong, then this does not change. Regardless of whether we have a conviction on it or not. Because He saves us by His grace, we should live according to His Word.

And, with respect, I find more substance in a new born believer who is reading the Word than those who would come down and make standards of holiness as found in the Bible optional, "only if you have a conviction about it."

Once again, HOGWASH!

You think this is legalism. It is not. You think that following the Bible is legalism. You would rather see someone's life fly in the wind, and let them go as they feel like. This is Joel Osteen type of theology. To make obedience to the Word optional makes the Word no longer of God but simply an instruction manual that can be cast aside as we see fit.

Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. This is not an option. Being holy is not about what one's convictions are, but in obedience to the Word.

Now, you have shown disdain for the scriptures. You make the Word and option, not a commandment. But, when all is said and done, the foundations of the Word are set in stone and no man can say they are optional, or as they have a conviction on.

I suppose we each read things differently into posts, but I did not detect a disdain for Scripture in tv's post...
