Under Grace, Believers are no longer under Law but, Diabolical Doctrine
Another way some express this diabolical doctrine: “We don’t have to worry about keeping God’s Law. That was for the Jews before Christ’s day. They were under the dispensation of Law, but we’re now in the age of Grace.”
The love of Christ is according to the goodness of God, not man. Mankind has no goodness to merit God’s good will. Jesus Christ came to save sinners, not the righteous. It is by His mercy, and not our worthiness, that we are saved.
“If anyone sees his brother sin a sin not to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those that do not sin to death. There is a sin to death, I do not say that he shall pray for it” (1 John 5:16 MKJV).
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man’s foes shall be those of his own household” (Matthew 10:34-36).
Universalism, as Reality Avoidance, Oveercome by Fear:
Some are consumed with preaching against the doctrine of eternal torment. Can it be that God raises certain up to take on a particular issue? Perhaps so; He can do that. Or is it that the one preaching against eternal torment has a problem?
Lest anyone should think otherwise, we do believe in the reconciliation of all things by the Lord Jesus Christ. What we address is a lawless attitude in the Name of the Lord, and in the name of “universalism.” We say (as does the Bible), “work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” to which universalists cry, “Work! Work!” They say that because “Christ did it all,” therefore there is nothing more for the believer to do. See our answers within these pages.
You claim that those on your “false teachers” list come with their own teachings and not the Lord’s, yet you claim to have received extra-biblical revelations from God…hmmm…
There’s a significant difference between “extra-Biblical” and “anti-Biblical.” Nothing I speak or teach is anti-Biblical. And if you think God no longer personally relates to His children but by the Words of the Bible, as True as they are, then you have fallen into Bibliolatry, a subtle, yet powerfully destructive sin.
Lorna didn’t state that she thinks God no longer speaks today. You accuse her of falling into a ‘subtle yet powerfully destructive sin’which is unfounded. Somebody has questioned yourselves and you hit back with more negative rhetoric. I belive you have fallen into the subtle yet powerfully destructive sin of pride and judgement of your fellow brothers and sisters.
Victor Hafichuk here at my wife Marilyn’s computer:
Have I judged brothers and sisters in Christ or have I judged tares? The latter, I’m surely persuaded. You defend Lorna while she is the one entering in judging me without understanding or authority. If I’m wrong in interpreting what she is saying, then the two of you can clarify exactly her purpose and meaning. I will deal with it and render a judgment that is appropriate. Thus far, you only prove me to be right, Wendy. I judge righteous judgment as commanded. You two, on the other hand, are religious and unrealistic, enemies of the cross. Prove me wrong.
