Posted by CharlieWhat is the root of legalism? It is the message: God values people who perform correctly and gets rid of those who do not.
I never cease to be amazed at all of the "grace-oriented" believers in endless punishment. Especially the ones who embrace the glad tidings of Arminianism that proclaims, "God is only as trustworthy as YOU are."
Strange, isn't it?
These gentle-hearted believers detest legalism! Yet they refuse to examine and rip out the *toxic root* of their belief paradigm that perpetuates legalism and renders a coherant grace message--impossible.
