Legalistic Cultural Checklist:

• Have we made sure to ignore the surrounding world that we live in?

CHECK!

What happened to "IN the world but not OF the world"?

The above youtube channel description screams of "Not of the world//we're also OUT of the world". No "movies or shows" but they obviously make use of YouTube. I don't think someone is being honest. Unfortunately, many legalists lie or live a lie to appear "good". Whitewashed tomb anyone?

wow. sad.

Disclaimer- Even though this guy above is a "baptist"..I just want it known that I attend a Baptist church..and it's  nothing like the example above.  We are a group of seekers who traded the southern-style "man upstairs" mentality that breeds this kind of legalistic "tradition over truth" for the "Amazing, life changing savior: Jesus Christ " long ago.  Have you ever heard that song "Give me that old time religion"? The only way I would want that is if I ever became discontent with Christ and just wanted a social club to grumble with others.

Sorry for the rant..but I'm just sick of folks being idiots and then attaching Jesus to it. As Matthew Turner says "Jesus needs new PR"
