Hi Santiago,

I agree, a denomination whose foundation is based on don'ts can be oppressive. If we choose to obey God for the love of God we're free aren't we. It's like not wanting to hurt my wife or kids because I love them, in the same way I don't want to hurt my Saviour by my actions.
I believe I understand where you are coming from, and like Dan, we've probably seen that in a lot of different denominations. Legalism tends to destroy instead of nurture the message of Christ. Liberalism just doesn't even mention it (salvation/repentance), just go out and do your own thing. Traditions "making the laws of God of none effect" are right up there with the worst.
New Age is enticing and very real to it's ever growing membership. Their experiences and revelations are genuine to them and will only provoke laughter if we tell them they never happened.
I view it as a crash course on the occult in sheeps clothing.

God bless and keep you,
John
