As if the "proper church life" on the "proper ground" would magically solve all those onerous commands to love one another, bear one another's burdens, forgive one another's trespasses, etc.

When it is the "proper church life" on the "proper ground" it is a "messy kitchen". If it is not, it is "fallen, degraded christianity". One is messy, the other is degraded; got it?
