This question is concerning the decalogue.
A definition to Legalism is "Strict conformity to the letter of the law rather than its spirit" Does this mean that following the letter of the law is bad? If you are in the "spirit" of the law aren't you following the letter aswell? _________________ "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

Seems this is defining LEGALISM.
LOVE has to be the reason for OBEYING these FAMILY requirements.
If not it will be impossible.
The test I see is try obeying TM.page 500 and tell me how you get on.
If you do not LOVE your neighbour as yourself them you fail.
Few ever obey as required. MANY think they have made it though.
