Antinomianism/Hyper-Grace argues that the law is the enemy of righteousness, and that righteousness can only be had without any reference or obedience to the laws of God.
Antinomianism argues that righteousness comes naturally with "innocent" abstract spiritual "intuition," and that righteousness is impossible while in any proximity to the hearing or observance of law.
Antinomianism would have you believe that the Holy Spirit magically puts both the law and perfect righteousness into your heart without your actually observing any laws or commandments of God, as written in His Holy Word; and that you will become righteous without actually being told what to do.
Antinomianism therefore attempts to squash or silence all mention or teaching of the Laws of God, and urges ignorance and rejection of the law.
The World English Dictionary says that Antinomianism is "relating to the doctrine that by faith and the dispensation of grace a Christian is released from the obligation of adhering to any moral law."
The Antinomian preacher insists that God does not see your sins after you believe. He demands that your righteousness miraculously appears like Tinkerbell sprinkles magic dust. He insists that you should NOT concern yourself with knowing God's laws, or in making ANY attempt to obey God's laws. You will be made perfect by GRACE alone.
Absolute Hogwash.
Joseph Prince, Joel Osteen, and an army of mega-wealthy TV preachers have discovered that Antinomianism sells hotter than iPads and iPhones. They have made hundreds of millions of dollars telling people that Christianity really has no rules. They live in palaces and jet-set all over the world telling packed arenas full of people that Heaven waits for all those who do nothing more than love Jesus and ignore everything else in the Bible. It is minimalism on steroids.
But Antinomianism is Hell's gospel. It is the voice of the serpent telling Eve, "Ye shall not surely die! Ye shall be as gods!" Satan had only one objective with Eve. STOP HER FROM OBEYING God's one solitary law.
According to Lucifer, all she had to do to live forever was to IGNORE God's one solitary law. Just be good on her own terms.
"EAT THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT!! It won't hurt you!! You will NOT be better by obeying any laws!" In doing so, she would be as a god, and would know essentially all things.
For every verse that the Antinomian preacher uses to "prove" his hyper-grace lies, there is a great body of contradictory scriptures that run throughout the NEW Testament that prove him not only wrong, but perniciously, Hellaciously wrong.
God is a God of order, precepts, doctrines, laws, and commandments - NONE of which are moot, NONE of which are to be ignored, abandoned, rejected or denied. Righteousness is, by definition, RIGHT DOING. You will never DO right unless you KNOW, OBSERVE and OBEY God's Written Word.
Jesus explicitly said about the COMMANDMENTS, that "whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven," Matthew 5:19.
Don't ever tell me that I should not both do and teach the commandments!
"If ye love me, keep my commandments," John 14:15.
Antinomianism is ANARCHY. It is LAWLESSNESS. And that is the Modus Operandi of Lucifer himself.
Paul warned of the coming Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition, "that wicked one," which in the Greek text means, "LAWLESS ONE."
"And then shall that Wicked [Greek: 'lawless one'] be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming," 2 Thessalonians 2:8.
The Antinomian preacher is the accomplice to the Lawless One. The Antinomian preacher is as much the enemy of Christ as the devil himself.
EVERY VERSE that the Antinomian preacher uses to prove his perjurious Hyper-Grace can be countermanded by an arsenal of other New Testament scriptures that teach irrefutably that Jesus Christ has called us into conformity to His will through fearful obedience, keeping of His commandments, discipleship, spiritual disciplines, striving for perfection, avoiding all appearance of evil, fleeing youthful lusts, observing all things that He has commanded, recognizing and avoiding those who walk disorderly and not after the things they have been taught from the Word.
I will not protract this article into a long, theological discourse, but rather plead with you now to utterly reject the entire Antinomian, Luciferic spirit, and fall in love with every jot and tittle of God's Word.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all GOOD WORKS," 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
THAT is NOT lawlessness. That is NOT Antinomianism.
There is a great body of teaching in the NEW Testament that undeniably calls for the Christian to keep the commandments of God.
If you don't know that already, you need to do your homework.
Please study these articles that relate to this subject, so you will be aware of the great deceptions that are being perpetrated in the name of Jesus Christ.
