text: what is wrong with wanting...? a deeper relationship with god?   so what if someone used to wear 7lbs of make-up and jewelry, then decided to chuck it all out the widow one day because they believe that it inhibits their personal walk with god... is it right that we lable them legalistic because they actually follow what is written in the bible? there is nothing wrong with wanting a deeper relationship with god.   there is nothing wrong with a person wanting to throw out their make-up and jewelry because they believe that it inhibits their relationship with god.  there is nothing wrong with following the bible. jesus said, "if you love me, keep my commandments."  a person's convictions are their own. that is where god wants them to be at a certain point in their lives. and it doesn't matter if that conviction is strange, like not having a t.v. or computer. that is their belief based upon the leading of the holy spirit in their lives.   the trouble is when people get personal convictions mixed up with biblical standards of christian living and morals.  a christian does not have the right to decide where another is in their walk with god. they do not have the right to decide that sis. sally and bro. bob are leagalistic because they dress a little more conservatively. the only people, i believe, that have the right to correct the saints of god are those who are set in authority over them, i.e. the elders, the decons, the bishops, the pastor/minister.
