Is the difference between exclusion and inclusion gospels simply the difference between law and grace?

By law: all excluded: sinners all, none righteous

By grace: all included: sinners none, all righteous

By law: all perish

By grace: none perish

Law: I will forget you & I will forsake you... Enmity

Grace: I will never leave nor forsake you... Friend

Law: against us all

Grace: with you all

Law: a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump

Grace: know the truth makes you free of law

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.


Hmm....runs parallel with my own beliefs...

Except that I think despite grace we are still sinners...it's just that we don't have to stress out about it anymore.

Rather than worry about what we did in the past, we should concentrate on what we do in the present.

Much better for the psyche overall.

This all seems a bit Manichean. Good theology, I would suggest, looks for the dialectic that transcends the thesis and the antithesis.

More mindless drivel
