| | Legalism |
 | | So although many parts of Legalism seem to make good sense (such as equality under the law, and government according to merit), memories of the abuse of the law under the Qin has kept Legalism in a bad light throughout Chinese history. | | | The Qin emperor was ruthless in his use of Legalism, punishing even small crimes with decapitation or the loss of a hand or foot. | | | In Legalism, the law code was written out and made public. |

| | Legalism Grace Obedience |
| | It does this, because legalism is an attitude or motive that sees the keeping of God's laws, or living a certain way, or doing certain things, as a bribe or a payment. | | | Note that legalism is not the deed itself; it is the motive or attitude behind the deed. | | | The remedy for legalism is the same remedy for most problems in the Christian life. |

| | Legalism: Does It Lead to True Righteousness? |
| | Christian obedience should not be infused with legalism nor diminished by license. | | | Spiritual legalism (see the definitions of legalism, liberty, and license on the side) represents the opposite of license or lawlessness (a form of libertarianism or antinomianism) which overemphasizes one's liberty at the expense of obeying Scripture by reasoning that a Christian is free to act any way under grace without Divine restraint. | | | While legalism and license are opposites, they both are extremely unscriptural in addressing the Christian issue of sanctification. |

| | Legalism |
| | In the Galatian churches, legalism was a distortion of the Law. | | | Religious legalism also refers to any system of religious bondage imposed on someone by another individual, or by an organization, that attempts to make that person a practitioner of legalism. | | | The idea in both cases is to avoid legalism and judgmentalism. |

| | Viewpoint Bible Studies #17-21 -- What Is Legalism? |
| | As a religious ethic, legalism views the religious life in its entirety in terms of strict adherence to laws, rules and regulations. | | | Legalism certainly promotes a concern with being right and correct in application and performance of the law to which the legalist holds. | | | Weed suggests that "as a moral system or ethic, legalism views the essence of the moral life in terms of laws, rules, and regulations." Law is the beginning, and is EVERYTHING, in their view. |

| | The Divine Hermeneutics: Legalism, Binding Where God Has Not ~ Donnie Rader |
| | Not all who use the term legalism understand what it is. Neither is everyone who is charged with being a legalist guilty. | | | In contrast to Acts 15, legalism disregards the authority of the word by binding what cannot be bound by command, example or necessary inference. | | | If these four things are what legalism is, then I must plead guilty to be a legalist. |

| | Legalism |
| | Legality on the other hand "is a mechanical and external behavior growing our [sic] of reliance on self, because of a desire to gain a reputation, display a skill, or satisfy an urge to personal power. | | | Essentially, legalism is a reliance upon keeping the strict letter of a law as being meritorious, even apart from faith. | | | Many believe that to avoid legalism, one must be an antinomianist (a person without any law). |

| | Legalism, What Exactly Is It? |
| | An example of this negative definition of legalism is perhaps seen in the case of the Pharisees (Jn. | | | I think we shall find in our study, though, that under the general heading of "law," there is a large spectrum, having what I term legalism at one extreme end (the whole essence of man simply involved in law keeping) and antinomianism at the other end of the spectrum (those against law, period). | | | The term legalist is often a synonym for Pharisee; hence, legalism and Phariseeism (see addendum). |

| | But with these three shortcomings in mind, notice that the “legalism” of the Pharisees did not have to do with fervent attention to fulfilling the “letter of the law.” The Pharisees were not condemned because they were too zealous about strict obedience to God’s will. | | | Those of a liberal persuasion have redefined “legalism” in such a fashion, shifting the meaning from the attitude of being self-righteous to the action of conscientious obedience to all of God’s Word. | | | It may be surprising to some to learn that the term “legalism” does not actually occur in the Bible. |

| | An Allegory about Legalism |
| | Legalism is about man's efforts to please God, and it is often more about pleasing ourselves, because we think when we are good, we won't get in trouble and when we aren't we will. | | | In the simplest of terms, legalism is willfulness. | | | We may not recognize this as legalism, but it is, in its most subtle form. |

| | Legalism |
| | The habits of mind appropriate, within narrow limits, to the procedures of law courts in the most stable legal systems have been expanded to provide legal theory and ideology with an entire system of thought and values. | | | The tendency to think of law as "there" as a discrete entity, discernibly different from morals and politics, has its deepest roots in the legal profession's views of its own functions, and forms the very basis of most of our judicial institutions and procedures. | | | The most vivid account of law's isolation from the social-political world remains Judith Shklar's, Legalism 9 (1964): |

| | The term "legalism" commonly denotes preoccupation with form at the expense of substance. | | | Confidence in him alone, who, by his death fulfilled the law, is the sole means of deliverance from the law's demands, and so of avoiding legalism. | | | This picture of the law as occasioning legalism has been hotly contested. |

| | Legalism according to Schwartz |
| | The rise of Legalism was also related to the rise of new rulers who had overthrown legitimate old rulers and who now need new laws, not tradition, to justify and buttress their rule. | | | He traced the beginning of Legalism to the time of Confucius and such Confucian contemporaries as Tze-chan (Zi-chan), a ruler of a small state called Cheng and an acquaintance/possible student of Confucius. | | | In this chapter, Schwartz provides not only a systematic introduction to Legalism, but also to the background against which Legalism started. |

| | It wasnt until I was in my twenties that I heard the term legalism used and that legalism is wrong for many reasons. | | | In turn, denominationalism fits right in with legalism because we stress that wearing the right name is a part of the "package" that merits us favor with God and helps to insure us of a home in heaven. | | | It was a number of years before I fully realized that the letter to the Galatians was written primarily to expose legalism. |

| | If all one focuses on is obedience to law apart from the motivation of pleasing God, loving God and loving neighbor, this distorts the purpose of the law (Matthew 22:36-40; Romans 13:10) and is legalism. | | | Throughout this chapter, references are made to the legalistic approach of religious authorities who accused Jesus Christ of breaking the Sabbath. | | | A dictionary definition of legalism is "a strict, literal or excessive conformity to the law or to a religious or moral code." |

| | The drunk must be delivered from all alcohol and the legalist must be delivered from his co-dependency on false doctrine and the misuse of scripture. | | | The legalists, like the alcoholic, must locate and use enablers or so-called friends that will tell them what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. | | | The legalists, like the alcoholic, are blind to the fact that the legalism is not a friend but a learned trait. |
