[Faith-talk] Legalists?

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Christine and all,

I respectfully ask that you refrain from calling us legalists who 
believe the Bible and try our best to live by it. Please take care 
how you use the term. Bible-believers live how they live because they 
try to obey that which they read and are taught from the Bible, and 
we joyfully do so, not out of guilt, but out of love for our Lord and 
our fellow men, or men and women if you prefer. I'm sure that, if you 
look up legalist in the dictionary, it will not say a person who 
follows the precepts written in the Bible, so please refrain from 
using the term incorrectly.

Respectully,

Linda
