Well it depends on what denomination or church you go to. The don't doers religion is very common. Even here on this forum if you speak of doing good there will be some that rise up in arms....a Christian forum where doing good is not liked? Seems a little sad.

We can apply this to most anything....including ice cream. A lot of calories in that ice cream and we may be tempting someone that has issues with calories or sugar or lactose. Listening to conservative radio a lady was saying that eating chocolate chip cookies was a sin. As far as drinking...

Until God gives us a crystal ball we cannot know a lot of things and we will not be held accountable. A lady wearing a long dress missed a spot and a guy seeing the skin of her ankle goes hog wild and runs out and rapes someone. She is not going to be held accountable. Too many people with...

The truth will set you free. Boldly march off smartly and do good. The issue with drinking is one of many. 2000 years of competition as to who is holier. I am holier than you because I don't do this! No! I am holier than you because I do not do that! Before long Christianity became the lazy...

Keep it a secret...that is funny. It would cause more problems than it helps. Paul talked about being considerate of the weakness of others, and I agree within reason. But people have so many problems with so many things that it would be impossible to know or even keep up with all of them...

What is that on your arm? asked Fred. It's alcohol spots. Said George. Colossians 2:16 "Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—" Matthew 15:11 "It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but...

If someone wants to obtain from alcohol, that their choice, but you really cannot make it into a religious argument. As far as the logical aspect, you do not want to tell someone to stop eating to keep from being a glutton. We have talked about man-made sins on several threads. Over the years...

First off you need to get the "the Law" out of your head because it has nothing to do with Christians. The Jews are Jews and the Christians are Christians. So the Mosaic Law is not part of the discussion. We are talking about legalism and there is no such thing as Christian legalism. No that is...

Again we or no one is talking about being saved by works or deeds! It is another distraction from the truth. The topic is about legalism and there is no such thing as Christian legalism. Can you reword this?

Saying nothing of the kind. We are not Jews. This argument was settled in 50 ad at the first Christian council in Jerusalem. Paul spent a good part of his ministry fighting against people that wanted to bring Judaism and the Law into Christianity. The morals that Christ and the Apostles are...

Oh this is so messed up! If the word legalism does not appear in the scriptures how can you say...According to the scriptures it means.... And you say part of the meaning of legalism is the application strict stand of ethics....so when the Bible speaks of morals, are you one of those that think...

The Law does not pertain to Christians so in a discussion about Christian legalism it does not pertain. Therefore legalism only pertains to the 613 Mosaic Laws...Judaism...Jews. In that context if you break one, you break them all. As far as Christianity there is no such thing as legalism...

Lets take this a little at a time....are you....and that is you...your beliefs....do you believe that you have to be perfect to go to heaven?

Sure there is a relief....it is called Christ. Hate the sin not the sinner..... This has happened to me more than once but here is one instance. I was in a adult Sunday school session and we were talking about homosexuals and the sin of homosexualality. One of the ladies was talking about...

There are a lot scriptures that are clear. Like I said you are not going to find a scripture that says specifically you will lose your salvation. Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Of course you know what John said 3:16-18 For God so loved the...

Look here, I can debate both sides of this. Salvation is an important thing....right? So it would be good if there was a scripture that says the exact words...that either....if you do this, you have lost your salvation or that under no circumstances can you lose your salvation....unfortunately...

Are you saying that Christians have to be perfect to go to heaven? LOL Tell ya what, I will play your game. You give me the scriptures that say you can lose your salvation and I will give you the ones that say you cannot. You can go to Hebrews but then you have to explain a lot of what is...

**************************************************************************************************** And then you have ....workout your salvation with fear and trembling. You do not want to take the stand that you can lose your salvation because there are too many scriptures that say you...

Hebrews 10:1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never by the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. Hebrews 10:4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to...

@Desire Of All Nations You have made so many errors the easiest way to address it is line by line with simple statements. First off you need to learn the 613 Mosaic Laws, and the culture that they are in is also important. Paul does not always reference the Law as a whole when he mentions...
