Give out my opinions, that's all. But, I do get carried away.

Legalism, in Christian theology, is a usually pejorative term referring to an over-emphasis on discipline of conduct, or legal ideas, usually implying an allegation of misguided rigor, pride, superficiality, the neglect of mercy, and ignorance of the grace of God or emphasizing the letter of law at the expense of the spirit. Legalism is alleged against any view that obedience to law, not faith in God's grace, is the pre-eminent principle of redemption.
What do you think caused you to reconsider your legalism? I mean, what was the fateful event on July 18?
Do you think that God approves of legalists and legalism (don't be offended, I'm not saying he doesn't, I'm just asking)?
1. There is such a definition, but I'm not that type. Just, one who is strict.
2. I was originally a very rude and mean person when I came to the SS. It went so strong, I used harsh language at Sammy about here tattoes - hurt her feelings. We got reconcilied, however while I was being banned I read some of my posts, and saw that I was too mean and rude.
3. Yes, when it is Salvation by Works, or Phariseeism (Pharisee means Sepratist, BTW, just throwing this in). However this "legalism" we're talking about is strictness.

EDIT: Do you celebrate Christmas?
Partly, because of family. The Holiness Movement is one of the most "legalist" denominations.
Yes, what's wrong with celebrating our Lord's birth? We don't celebrate it in a fancy way, that's all.
I will not use harsh language like I did in my previous trashy posts (esp. the ones before July 18, for that time I was more interested in being bold, than being polite. Things have changed since then. A few beliefs of mine are slightly revised, but nearly the same.
