The old,, "I do not drink cuss or smoke" mentality I can lust a woman all I want, as long as I do not follow through.. I can be self centered and not think of anyone else. as long as I am following Gods law. etc etc..
Heard all the excuses, As I said, Paul was the greatest legalist hunter outside of Christ,

I want you to believe unto righteousness, that's what I preach. That's not funny, but your attitude really cracks me up. 
I agree with you, but I am looking for a common thread, brother.
I have shared things very close to my heart and stirring, yet across the board the
HG guys did not bat an eyelid, they simply did not understand.
A lot of their theological steps do not work for me because of my emotional background.
So it struck me that the emotional theme is probably why HG dualism appeals to them.
A dualistic theology fits a dualistic psychology. And this also means no argument
is going to change their position, because it is not founded either on the Lord or
on argument but on disposition. One aspect of this condition is shutting out emotions
so emotional appeals will mean nothing to them. A common theme in their backgrounds
will be emotional trauma and addiction, which are not resolved so repressed, off limits.
So for them spirituality is a form of peace and resolution, but movement from this will
be completely rejected and everyone saying movement or growth is a good idea are evil.
And yes this occurs elsewhere in society, but this group who continually dominate discussions
with only one string on their bow, are not helpful, to any degree.

Amen....preaching and teaching the grace of God with no mixture of self-effort or trying to maintain "their own righteousness" - is the only thing that will set us free. The preaching and teaching of the grace of Christ which is the gospel is the only thing that has the power for salvation - to everyone who believes. Romans 1:16-17
Jesus said a little leaven ruins the whole lump. Teaching and preaching a works-based message waters down the true gospel and makes void the grace of God from operating in our lives like it was mean to do.
This is one of the reasons why the church is such a mess now - mixture teaching nullifies the grace of Christ in the believers life.
They have replaced Christ for their own self-efforts of righteousness and now they teach "principles for living" instead of relying on the life of Christ inside of us which is accessed only by faith in His grace for living. Christ is our life - we have died and our life is hidden with Him in God.
