The thinking you are proposing shifts our faith from Christ and places it in legalism.

Our priority is with faith through Christ prior to any other. Additionally, anything added to that faith voids that faith.


The rock of Peter was his faith, not his person.

Rather than arguments, a better use of time is for us to study beneath our respective pastor-teachers, continually thinking the doctrines of Scripture, remaining in fellowship with God through faith in Him and in that fellowship allowing Him to further sanctify us as His body.

No, what we have here is law, not legalism. And if you have a problem with law, your argument is not with me, but with Christ. He made this law of "binding and loosing." I sure didn't.

I do welcome your fellowship as a Christian. We can all benefit from correction: even Peter, prone to misstep as he was; and if he had missteps, I can certainly expect to have pratfalls.

So pray fo rme, as I will for you!
