		Moreover, legalists teach others to have the same arbitrary disregard for the Law: “For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
		Legalists don’t strive to keep God’s law (they certainly are not slavish in the keeping of it); they never have and never will.
		Legalists create a false front; it is their attempt to convince others they are following God’s laws, when in fact they are not.

		Legalists are very definitive about beliefs and behaviours (usually more definitive than the Bible is).
		Legalists occupy the safe ground of 'simplicity this side of complexity', liberals wallow in 'complexity the other side of simplicity'.
		For legalists, repentance precedes acceptance; with liberals (and Jesus, by the way) it was the other way around.

	Legalism
		Though they are largely considered the great Satans of Chinese history, the group of philosophers and administrators known as the Legalists represent a first in Chinese government: the application of a philosophical system to government.
		Second, the Legalists invented what we call "rule of law," that is, the notion that the law is supreme over every individual, including individual rulers.
		In order to be effective, the law has to be uniformly applied; no one is to be punished more or less severely because of their social standing.

	Legalism
		For the legalist the laws and rites of Christianity are the letter of the law and fundamentalist conformity to the traditions of men in the denominational interpretation of the Bible.
		Religious acts are the ultimate norms of life; what the legalists forget is that legalistic observances were crucified on the cross and are meant to be symbols mediating toward the inward transformation of a new life.
		Because the legalist thinks that holiness is within his own grasp by what he does, he tends to despise the men and women who are not as observant as he.

	Legalism (Chinese philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Primarily members of the ruling class, the Legalists emphasized that the head of state was endowed with the "mystery of authority” (勢 shì), and as such his decisions must always command the respect and obedience of the people.
		Thus, in Legalist theory, ministers and other officials were prevented from performing some other official's duties and were punished if they attempted to blind the ruler with words or failed to warn the ruler of danger.
		Reflecting Legalist passion for order and structure, Qin soldiers were only mobilized when both halves of tiger-shaped tallies (one held by the ruler and the other by the commanding general) were brought together.

	Weak conscience Christians and legalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		According to the English dictionaries that have a theological definition for legalism and a legalist, they are legalists because the dictionary theological definition of a legalist and legalism is one who has reliance upon works to earn salvation.
		Again, It appears as though many fundamentalists and evangelicals regard another Christian to be a legalist if he is guilty of at least one of the common characteristics of the Pharisees, the false gospel teachers that infiltrated both the churches of Galatia and the church at Colossae, and weak conscience Christians.
		And, like the Apostle Paul, without using the terms legalist and legalism, they should be admonishing both the weak conscience Christians that are speaking evil, blasphemous judgments of strong conscience Christians and the strong conscience Christians that are doing despiteful judging of weak conscience Christians and not bearing the burden of weak conscience Christians.

	Viewpoint Brief Bible Study #1 ~ Legalism vs Christian Grace
		LEGALISTS TRUST IN Rather than trusting in God, those who choose the way of death trust that their law code is perfect and complete, and that their obedience to what they say are commandments from God leads to justification.
		Legalists trust in law-keeping, find fault with all who dare to disagree with any conclusion they reach, and demand that all accept their judgments as final and correct in every religious question.
		Legalists earn the right to their title by setting up unscriptural requirements and refusing fellowship to any who won’t accept their right to make laws in God’s name.

		Other legalists think that a sinner does not have free will, that any good he does is done by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him, and it is these good deeds done by the power of the Holy Spirit that obtain or help obtain, retain or help retain, his salvation.
		Both types of legalists, but espe-cially the latter, may acknowledge that Christ’s work of obedience is necessary for salvation, but both deny that Christ’s work is sufficient for salvation.

	The Legalists
		Shang Yang was celebrated as a martyr, as after his reform fell through, he was subjected to the cruelest form of punishment by his political opponents: having his four limbs tied to four horses riding in four different directions.
		In his writings he pointed out that public and private interests, unlike what the Confucians said, were irreconcilable: that a son who confessed the father's sins served the public good but violated filial piety, and filial piety may be performed at the expense of the state (201).
		Therefore, along the lines of other Legalists, Han Fei emphasized the importance of "uniform and inflexible" laws (201), since the Confucian emphasis on moral self-cultivation could not naturally lead to the benefit of the state/nation.

		I also rejected the older and narrower definition for legalism and a legalist where the definition referred only to "a reliance on works to earn or help earn salvation." Because I found that, very few modern Christians held to this older and narrower definition of a legalist and legalism any more.

		Especially if the LEGALIST is a thinking type and the ANALYST is a perceptive type, the LEGALIST may inherit the chore of attending to the financial details of life.

		Legalists in all ages attempt to cast a slur upon the gospel of God's free and sovereign grace in Christ, and upon those who preach it, by putting words into our mouths.
		Their slanderous charge is virtually the same in every age: "You say, `Let us sin that grace may abound'."

		Thus the very system that the legalist puts himself under, is that which rises up to condemn him.
		But dependence upon keeping the law to get us into the Kingdom, is.

		In conclusion, what makes people legalists is their shared belief in the value of the works of man, and the insufficiency of the work of Christ unto salvation.
