Pelathais: The question that you asked, to which I refered was, " Just because a man preaches against television or short sleeves does that put him on the same level as a deviant?"
I then pointed out that you asked that question, not me. I never made that comparison, you brought it up and then slam dunked it. The discussion is becoming something where you are arguing with yourself and the arguments that you imagine that I would make. We are also losing something in the quote and paste routines.
You have not really seen, or I have failed to make it seen that a condemnation of "legalism" is not a condemnation of holiness or standards, per se.
To condemn legalism is to condemn a system or practice of religion that leaves God out of the equation. If you don't not practice "legalism" then we have no argument. But you seem kind of touchy when it comes up.

My wanting to defend came from thinking that you were defending what most believe Legalsim to be and that is standard preaching ministers.
Since that is not what yopu believe as you have said that legalism is a system that leaves out God. Since you have made that statement we have no argument.
Now have you ever had Boudin Rouge?
