[Serious] Do we have any female Christians left? If not, anyone is welcome to comment.

Or rather, I should say you have no idea what you’re talking about.

So you are not an atheist?

To die is to not exist.

Atheist do not believe in God...

So is it a stretch to say Atheist kill the idea of God?

If so there is a series of movies that need to be renamed.

That said I do know what Christianity is. I also know what legalism is as it is even pointed out by paul and defined in the bible. it is when good people try and earn their right to eternal life by following the rules as hard as they can. however one of two things generally happen. 1 they burn themselves out trying to fool themselves that the can life the perfect life, and generally quit long before the race is over. or they learn to lie to themselves about their very own nature and who they are as people. which usally means they go crazy nuts over the rules and law they have no trouble keeping but others may struggle with (homosexuality is an example that comes to mind) but over look sins they can not help or excepted. (gossip is God most hated sin/sinner according to the bible but old church gossips are well tollerated is those same God hates fags churches)

The former disqualifies people from heaven because they are honest enough to see God is not supporting them but often times confuse God's silence in not supporting legalism with his death/non existance... Or they live a lie their whole lives jeopardizing their eternal life because everything is based on a lie of them living perfectly. None of which has anything to do with the love that we are commanded to have. For how can we love God if we lie to him about how good we are? how can we love one another as our self if we lie to ourselves about the sin we live with?

I also know The laws set fourth by God are not commands but a reflection of who we can become when we love God with all of our being and our neighbors as our seves.

Meaning the law is like if someone observed and tryed to write down the thing people did when they where truly in love. like going out on dates bring home flowers taking out the trash without being asked ect.. 

a legalist looks at the list and says if I do these things it will mean I deserve or will love. which we know is not true as we can do all of the things on the list and still not feel love.

When in fact Christianity/Jesus says love, and you will automatically do the things found in the law. Meaning if you really love someone you will want to go on date you will want to give flowers or do things to make the other person happy too!

Drich's point is that believers are essentially awarded a Get Out of Jail Free card and are not required to adhere to the letter of the law in order to receive their Special Prize. The purpose of the law is/was to demonstrate to dirty-birdie humans that they are losers who are incapable of living up the Yaweh's standards...and thus, why folks need JC to step in.

Accept JC's offer, and you can do whatever you like. 
It's all good; You're covered. 

More or less. 

Lol.

Ah, no..

See what I just said about love and the law in the post above.
