Help me to understand better what I'm doing. What is it exactly that I do that you see as a strawman against Christianity? I thought I was mostly engaging in scripture which means by default I was arguing about Biblically based Christianity.
The 'strawman' is based on your personal understanding of Christianity, and not an accurate repersentation of Biblical Christianity. Your using the bible as a standard or a set of Guidelines to define how a Christian is to act. When if you actually read the bible it frees us from this type of 'worship.' Subsequently everything you address is from this stand point. Your stances can often be refered to as 'legalism.' Which is a practice condemned by Christ. As such for the Christian most of your 'points' can be dismissed.
So the BIBLE has no governing status over BIBLICAL Christians? I def don't get it. I'm a Mathematician that does not have to follow a math book... Thats my correlation to what you just said and as you can see I'm lost...
I'm no one special and I treat everyone the best I possibly can, but to you believer, despite my acts, I am condemned to hell.
