Sometimes a fair point

Part of being religious is striking that balance.  Go too far in either direction, and you get abuses at best, heresy at worst.  So in Christianity, we have a Just and Merciful God.  A Loving and Powerful God.  We are to rely on God’ grace and mercy, but we are to be sanctified and  strive for holiness.  Begin going in one way to the exclusion of others, and you’ve got problems.
