No, it's not. It's YOUR issue, along with your ASSUMPTION that Christians believe this.
IF you were a Christian, you would see that this is not the case. Why then, do you assume it is for everyone else?
It is because you hold no respect, let alone love, for your Christian brothers in direct disobedience to Jesus, AND you bear false witness to them. So please stop with your hypocritical views on 'what it means to follow Christ'.

Next, KJ was referring to 'bathing in it' as a normal day to day thing, and not as an exception.
No, he was NOT calling the teachings of Christ 'legalism', he was calling YOUR behavior 'legalism'.
You seem to have quite the high opinion of your behavior on these forums if you equate your behavior to the teachings of Christ. I and others have shown repeatedly how they are as different as night and day.
