Can you explain how "it's not in the manual so I can do it" is flaunting spiritual liberties? What does that mean? Do you mean flaunting like declaring it to a crowd of a thousand people that you can do something others don't feel they can, or is it just doing something...just having the liberaty?

Legalism is the attempt to see how close to the world one can go but still be in the church.....

What? Did you invent that definition? Legalism does not mean seeing how close to the world one can go but still be in the church. Where on earth did you learn that? Also how is having liberty, which the bible says we have seeing how close one can get to the world? How is doing something that the bible does not forbid or the manual somehow "the world"....you've left out a LOT of details. On the surface what you posted here really makes no sense.

Im not even sure what "it" is....being able to do something that the bible does not forbid is not worldy or legalistic.....

But just as wrong is the flippant flaunting of spiritual liberties.......

This is nothing but a fancy undefined buzzword. Flippant means disrespectful...how in the examples "My brothers...." is that disrespectful to someone? How in your examples is "The bible doesn't say" flippant? How in your example is "The manual doesn't say" flippant?

This is more legalistic than the ultra converative's stand on many issues.....

Nothing personal, but I don't think you know what some pf the words that you using actually mean. You don't seem to know what legalism means.
