Legalism is in the eye of the beholder. Indeed, Christ did not berate the Pharisees for requiring people to follow the written law, but rather He <A HREF="http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/tools/printer-friendly.pl?book=Mat&chapter=23&version=NASB#" REL="nofollow">berated</A> them for not <I>also</I> encouraging the more important aspects of the unwritten law.David Rudelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10513172651895503104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144152762330893980.post-59929111723962048262008-09-26T14:31:00.000-07:002008-09-26T14:31:00.000-07:00Hey Mike,<BR/>Thanks.<BR/>Indeed, one belief I'm fighting is the idea that the Bible says what the Church or Christians says it does. People just seem to assume [because no one checks] that what Christians say the Bible says [or does not say] is accurate. There's this core lie that Evangelicals have the market cornered on a literal interpretation of the Bible.David Rudelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10513172651895503104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144152762330893980.post-53474035545032582412008-09-26T12:09:00.000-07:002008-09-26T12:09:00.000-07:00'the word of God'.<BR/><BR/>nice commment at jt's site. we do tap dance around the real crux of things, don't we? that's why we get addicted to the anonymity of the internet ... imagine what the book of james would be like if it was written today.<BR/><BR/>mike ruckerspud tooleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09921322553025339949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144152762330893980.post-28132490515564074672008-09-26T11:55:00.000-07:002008-09-26T11:55:00.000-07:00No, boiling water and watching said boiling are definitely two separate things.<BR/><BR/>Instead of watching the water boil, I use that time to knit with laundry lint.David Rudelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10513172651895503104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144152762330893980.post-45914859794372240882008-09-26T10:42:00.000-07:002008-09-26T10:42:00.000-07:00hahaha, or should i say LMBO since i'm a part of Christian culture. your interests are, well, kinda interesting. <BR/>would boiling water be the same as watching water boil or are they 2 different things- and would they be in the same category as watching paint dry?<BR/>my curiosity is getting the best of me.angela aka mrs. maverickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16552669164284911666noreply@blogger.com
