as a way to find righteousness without 'morality?' why is it not performance based but love based?
Only completely gullible idiots find christianity to be based on love.
Actually when asked what are the greatest commandment Jesus Himself responded Love your lord God with all of your being and your neighbor as yourself.. in these two commands all of the laws of the prophets are full filled.
Meaning everything in the law has to do with loving God first and your neighbor as yourself. Love/Agape' being the linchpin to all of Christianity.
only pharical legalists apply laws to Christianity that Jesus died to free us from.
Which is what most of you do not understand.
The life you pretend to be living can only be found in Christ.. the legalistic moralistic rule filled existance you think of when someone says Christian... that is the life you live now. You are bound by your laws, you are bound by your soceity you are bound by your morality you are bound by what others even think of you. I through Christ and free from that mess and any trouble you might be in with God. and what's worse... I'm no better than any of you. meaning I do not deserve any of this. matter of fact I can think of several people 'better than me here...' but that's not what Christianity or the God of the bible is about. Nothing but guilt is being judged from that scale anymore.
