I am not understanding this statement, grace comes from God, how can God's grace/love be turned into lewdness? Are you saying we can take something good from God and make it evil?

Scripture tells us that Mary was full of grace, could that grace she possessed be turned to lewdness. One would never even think such a thing because we know the grace she possessed was from God and it could not be turned into anything but what it is!! Grace

Grace 777 has explained above that the word turn makes no sense. I hope you will reconsider this statement.
UnderGrace, the term "hyper-grace" refers to a false grace, and is not the grace preached by the Bible authors. This is why it's not referred to as "grace" but "hyper-grace."
I do not like the term, but it is what most people use today.

Interesting...

Hyper-grace/OSAS? Hyper-grace is spoken of in effect when Jude speaks about turning the grace of God into lewdness. It's not speaking bout those who say we need to be obedient unto the word of God and what the Spirit of God speaks to us. It speaks of a doctrine that turns God's grace into something that it was never meant to be, in this case by saying that once you are born again, no matter what you do, you cannot fall away from God. Yes I know the hyper-grace crowd will say that what they teach is not a license for licentiousness. However, the doctrine of OSAS/Hyper-grace when you boil it down to the basic essence does not deny this. Instead people will say, "Oh they were never born again to begin with," but then it starts a heart judgment that we are called never to make.
So you condemn Paul because he believed in God faithfulness to His own and was charged with teaching 'let us continue in sin that grace may abound'? He had taught the grace of God in justifying the ungodly. But his point was that having been justified they were born by the Spirit which was why the charge against him was not true. Of course, unlike you, he believed with Jude that God could and would keep them to the end (Phil 1.6; Jude 24). The whole of Rom 3.24 - 8.39 is based on the assurance that God will keep to the end, You haven't got much confidence in God, have you? Whom he justified them He also glorified

Obedience is not works. Bearing fruit is not works. Keeping ourselves in the Love of God is not works. However, it is something we are asked to do.
but not in order to be saved. They are the consequence of being saved (Eph 2.6, 10.)

Hard to see with the formatting...
Yes these men crept into the church who were marked out for condemnation.
The point was, Jude was warning the Church/Body of Christ/Born again believers to contend against these individuals who would bring in destructive heresies. If we do not contend against it, these teachings can be introduced and incorporated into the beliefs of born again Christians. Thus, it was prophesied that there will be every wind of doctrine in the end times church. So God exhorts us to stand in the truth (bear our cross), against these false teachings and heresies.

Apostasy means to depart from, turn away or revolt.
how then can you think they were true believers? They were false teachers from the start.

Actually apostasy means what WE want it to mean. Does it mean the apostasy in the visible church (of which Jesus said there would be many whom He NEVER knew) or does it mean apostasy in the invisible church which God said could never be (John 6.39; 10.27-29).

The sad thing is that what people deem "hyper-grace", as a negative and derogatory term, is in fact God's grace. They simply do not understand it, and therefore oppose it in their traditional and religious mindset, unfortunately.

Well..in reality calling the grace of God "hyper" is not such a bad idea although I agree with Ben the term has been coined by some to use it in a derogatory way to malign and bring a disparaging view of something they think is being said which "conflicts" with what they were taught in some cases.

:hrmm: and as the apostle of the gentiles said before
as it is written
:read:
Mga Taga-Filipos: 2. 12. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14. Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

~;> AND AGAIN
:read: (as it is written)
24. But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25. Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26. For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

27. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28. I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30. Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

:ty:

godbless us all always

John says anyone who goes beyond what is written doesn't have God. And when hyper grace says you no longer need to live by the word of God you go beyond what is written. Christ said "abide in me" and He is the word. Christ also said whoever doesn't remain in Him is cast aside and gathered to be burned.

That is so not true. Hyper grace is a man made doctorine.

Titus 2:11-14 King James Version (KJV)

11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Look I'm not going to start an argument with you, but the truth is is that when hyper grace teaches you no longer have to abide by Christ teachings they no longer have a right to call themselves Christians. I know hyper grace people don't want to hear that, but it is the truth. They are no longer living by every word of God, but are just picking and choosing verses and living by and teaching the commandments of men.

Well, I do not want to pick a fight with you either, but I do reserve the right to defend and contend for the truth and that includes God's grace.

To say that I no longer have the right to call myself a Christian, is you making a judgement about my standing in Jesus. I would be careful about this statement of condemnation.

well, I personally believe that everyone constantly calling people on this forum hyper grace when they are simply abiding in grace and have consistently denied the false claims of the hyper heresy hunters that sin is practiced after salvation and no worries cause God's got you covered, is going WAY BEYOND what scripture considers a useless and sinful arguement

what say you?

sinful to argue over the law and accuse others, FALSELY of doing things they do not do?

I think it's sinful

I am. :cool: Or at least, that is the title given me by people trying to malign a belief system that agrees with God's word. I don't subscribe to people's false perceptions of hyper-grace theology, such as a license to sin, disobedience to Christ, no need for repentance, and so on. Those are all defamatory accusations against what people deem as "hyper-grace" but in fact, are not accurate depictions of what grace teachers are presenting.

well apparently, I've been voted in also even though I never heard the term before on any other Christian forum and I have been in one forum or another for about 10 years now

the way I understand it, is that one person started using that term and convinced others to use it and now we have this very biased and ignorant understanding of grace and people are called greasy gracers and what have you

the accusations are constant and without validity and truth

anyway, I guess I am a member of a pretty special group of people, right? LOL!

Maybe if someone could actually define what "hyper grace" is, people would be able to accept your death match challenge.

I wasn't condemning anyone I was explaining what is in the word of God. I just looked up hyper grace and they claim that hyper grace teaches that people no longer are bound to Christ's teachings and that is so false.
