Your topic seems to have gone awry from this comment which appears to be the purpose you were attempting to discuss. How does this comment fit your Opening Post in relation to the title "The Law of Christ"? Am I misreading your OP?
What misunderstanding of what moral commandment/s are causing what problems in the LC?
Here's an example to consider:
1. Suppose someone created a forum for discussion of ...anything... .
2. Suppose the forum owner requested that those who desire to join the discussion register as members.
Most who want to join the discussion comply to the request by registering as members.
Some do not register for membership, yet continue to post as "unregistered" or "Guest", expecting the owner to approve their posts anyway...that is...grant "grace" to them while they operate "outside the law".
Suppose the forum owner considered the value of the posts by non-registered to be significant enough to allow the "unregistered" to continued to post anyway...outside the "law". Or, the forum owner continues to extend "grace" to some, to the detriment of the functioning of the forum.
In this example, I'm attempting to bring in the matter of the conscience to the discussion. Does the Law of Christ operate outside the conscience? There is not only a misunderstanding in the LC but in the populace in general. The LC offends the conscience of others to the extent that the conscience becomes seared, demanding that others obey them...LC leadership...rather than God.
Here's a question for you. Do the written verses in the Bible override what God Himself speaks to you personally in your walk, your relationship with him and his relationship with you?
