Beware the legalists they appear Christian but aren't! I've heard that for years often scoffing at the liberal non law bound person free in Christ.
But over the years I've learned that the legalists are not only rejecting God's grace with legalism they are also rejecting Christ's deity. Usually they will reject something small on the surface but in the end they reject God Jesus. Sadly so do many Christians today. In some way they cling to His humanity, but that humanity was brief and temporary to relate to mankind, and it was necessary to do so.
"Philippians 2:6-8
Jesus emptied himself of his divine glory and became human, taking on the form of a servant. He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death on the cross."
Jesus was only human on the cross otherwise he dwelt among us not in Glory yet we know he did!
It is in His Divinity that he dwelt among us.
