So you do recognize that there are two ways to fall off the horse?
If one loves God, and accepts His gift of grace through Jesus, and loves others as Jesus commanded us to, and extends grace to others as He extended it to us...there ain’t gonna be no fallin’ off the horse. Especially for not following a ‘rule’.

It depends on what you mean by ‘the law’. If you mean the Civil Law of Old Testament Israel...I don’t give a flip about that. I’m not ‘under’ that. If you mean the Ceremonial Law of worship for the ancient Jew...I don’t give a flip about that either. I’m not ‘under’ that. But if you mean the unchanging requirement of supreme love for God, and an equal love for our neighbor as ourself...then yes, I’m all in.
