pop morality

[Drich]

More or less..

But what you fail to understand is Biblical Christianity does not free one from Good works. Their is a Massive love component you are not accounting for. In order to be forgiven your sins you must also Forgive others. (it's even in the core of the Lord's prayer, and tied to several different parables Jesus Himself taught)
Once we have forgiven and been forgiven we are called to two simple Rules. Love God with all that we are, and love our neighbors as ourselves.

If we can not do these two simple things it shows that we are not in the state of grace needed to live 'above the law' as one of you put it.

It is under these two rules that we can know where we stand with God.

I forgot the love? AGAIN?
Crap! Why do I keep doing that?

Your particular idea of God and Christianity does happen to be relatively palatable when compared to certain others, in my opinion. So, if your precise interpretation or spin of Biblical Scripture were somehow proven to be correct and true, AND human beings were both capable and willing to adhere to the tenant of loving their neighbors as themselves at all times, then yes, that would be better indeed. 

The problem is...So what?

As I see it, you haven't actually presented a realistic alternative to popular morality. I understand that you believe you have, but to a heathen lacking in belief, such as myself, you've done little more than extol the virtues of wishful thinking.

Without belief, what can you expect anyone to do with this?

Two things.. Again this is not My particular anything. Christ Himself was asked what were the greatest commands, he responded that the Whole law could be condensed down to just two commands. Love your Lord God with all of your being and your neighbor as yourself.

His sacrifice makes that possible. Meaning his atonement allows you the freedom to express this love to the best of your particular ability. Why? again because Atonement is freedom from 'moral rule.' If we do not have to live by our actions to define who we are (good or bad) then we all do not have to live by a moral code rather we can express our love to it's fullest yield and be found 'good' before God no matter if our 'actions' do not mirror the actions/deeds of some one else.

Paul even further explains this to the corinthians in chapter 12, as well as the Romans in chapter 12

Second thing is indeed Belief, but as Christ told us, if we lack faith just ask Him for it. "Dear lord give me the faith I need to simply Ask Seek and Knock for the Holy Spirit." Then hang on to something, because change (which may or may not be pleasant) is coming.
