BTW Calebo,,, Re: Comment # 21…

Actually, the law didn’t die, we died to the law… Rom 7:4 being now free to marry another!
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death!

Amen

Ok I get it!!! calebo is the good guy! lol

Naww, im sure the other guy is good in his sincerity… I know all to well that many are veiled from the New Covenant image that God sees us in, and as.
2 Cor 3:14-18

No worries. we plant wisely where the soil is ready to receive the seed!

Love the rebuttal, reviews and banter.
I never read the book by Steve but I definitely know legalism and the law.
We were beaten to a bloody pulp by my father because he believed ’spare the rod and spoil the child’. We were ostracized in school as children because we had different hair styles and clothes. We were told that God would allow something bad to happen to us if we weren’t good. If we didn’t read our Bibles and say our prayers every day God would be disappointed in us and punish. If we didn’t go to prayer meetings on Wednesdays, Youth on Fridays and twice on Sundays in our best clothes God would not like us. Later in life I’d feel guilty if I skipped out on worship team practice or took a break from playing on Sunday.
It’s taken me over thirty years to be released from this bondage of religion and I’ll tell you, without a doubt, I’d rather err on the side of Grace than on the side of the law. The yoke is so much lighter!
Let’s think, child of God or slave? I pick child. Today I’m a father and when I look at my children it reminds me of my heavenly Father and how much he loves me. He cleans my diapers when I soil myself. He watches me struggle as I learn to walk and then run. And when I fall, picks me up, bandages my scrapes and cuts and sends me off again. He would die for me (wait,… He DID!) That’s how I look at my two sons and because I’m created in His image I know that’s how He looks at me. A child of the Creator of the universe, God, Yaweh, Yeshua, Jesus, Abba and pappa.
When I was delivered from the yoke and bondage of religion and legalism. I suddenly became intensely aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit around me. Wherever I went He would follow. He’d talk to me, show me secrets, reveal to me the hearts of men (and women). I was having an intimate friendship with the Holy Ghost. What a great place to be and great way to live.
Once you’ve been in that place you NEVER want to go back to the law and religion. After all, is not religion just man’s invention to control the masses?
Besides, protestant, catholic, jewish, pentecostal, etc… who really cares except for the organization that gets our tithes? If we’re saved, someday we’ll all be in heaven with Yahweh (c’mon did that stir up anybodies Law bone?) . So, I’ll pick the less burdensome way. Yessss!

@ Bud: You’re correct sir! The old law is dead and we have everything we need in Christ!

Love,

So glad you wrote the rebuttal! I have been traumatised all my life by religion and know how it binds and imprisons. Just as you start to experience real freedom along comes some theologian with all their isms and ologies to “teach” you that you’re in some sort of spiritual peril and danger.

May God’s blessings abound to you!

your book Grace Rules totally changed my life. I was raised in a church where leagalism was taught. I lnew that there was no way that I could impress God or even get him to love me. there was always the possibility of not being perfect enough, haveing enough faith, or trust enough that i could not be sure of my salvation. no matter how many songs we sang (for instance “what a friend we have in Jesus”) could i really believe that he was my friend or that he loved me. I knew that I could never be “perfect” so why bother trying? One morning i was flipping through the chanels on t.v. and Joyce Meyers happend to be on. it was the one about leagleism in the church. Well that got me started thinking and not long after that my mom gave me your “grace rules” book. i have not been the same since. i am now free and loving God and living a joy filled life without a ton of bricks on me. i have felt so realieved and feel like i can finally breathe! Now i want to live for God instead of have to! i have grown so much and have actually touched some lives around me for the first time. thankyou so much for sharing your words of wisdom (which i know came from God). i will be praying for you and all those lives you have touched and those who need touching (see above). kim

ya, you’re a WRITER (liberal/humanist) and certainly no theologian.

Don’t go where you have no business going. Sick with your fiction. That is your world so just stay there.

Bet you have tattoos and piercings and your wife or partner wears cropped off hair and makeup?

Ew, how “legalistic”
