I haven't found that.
I know of a young woman from the streets who came to Jesus. She wanted to go to church and found a Pentecostal church. She wanted to look her best. She wore jewelry she had in her previous life, painted her fingernails, had her hair cut and styled, dressed up, and went to church. They met her at the door and told her she couldn't come in there like that. It hit her hard. She got very depressed and stopped looking for a church, eventually went back to her old life. But the story has a happy ending. Some true Christians were able to bring her back into the fold, and welcomed her into their church, a church without all the legalistic, man-made restrictions that she faced before from so-called Christians.
It is unfortunate that people don’t know how to treat others.
Gandhi said he would have been a Christian if it weren't for Christians.
Gandhi was focused on following the wrong people. By your statement, he was a legalist who thought he could do better than Christians. What he failed to realize is that he is guilty of the same thing he disliked about Christians. (I say this, assuming that the quote you presented is in context with the conversation)
We are supposed to be followers of Christ, not followers of the followers of Christ.
When Paul said follow me as I follow Christ, the people he spoke to must necessarily know Christ to be able to discern that Paul was following Christ. It is a legalistic error to say that you don’t want to be a Christian because you don’t like the way Christians are. In that way, by condemning legalism, you become as self centered as the people you are accusing of legalism. Both sides of the argument tend to be focused on their own agenda rather than the needs of the other.
A barber doesn’t say, I can’t have you as a customer unless you come in with a respectable haircut.
We are to receive a brother but not receive them into doubtful disputations.
It amazes me that people want deference for themselves, but give none to the people they want it from.
