Arrogance, condescension, disrespect and lacking humility... wow, you should be proud to speak to another person like that. And you preach the Love of God? hmmm Great representative...
Another travesty of the feel good grace all the time gospel is this....
People often cannot discern true correction done in love...and therefore refuse any form of Biblical correction, because they are brainwashed into thinking that it is good all the time and all the time its good! So you best not ever correct me, talk to me about condition or even try to approach me about my walk...cause I be covered in grace and that is all I need. The grace easy believing message leaves out 3/4 of the Christian transformation doctrines found in just about all of Paul's Epistles....it leaves out 100% of the church authority and correction doctrine, because the perverse grace message will not allow others to speak into another life...Yet Paul exhorts ministers and people do just the opposite of grace teachers....
I have said this same thing word for word in person and just as bluntly to people. They will react as undergrace and you have because pride is the first defense of anyone when they truly are caught empty handed and without excuse [Eve did to Adam, Adam did to Eve] I am guilty of the same defense, we all are....what we have to do is learn to set aside our pride and be teachable, even if it is something we think we know very well....but especially so, if we have no idea what we are saying and that was undergrace completely on the topic of the fear of the Lord....instead of asking, she kept on assuming....I gave her plenty of warnings to stop talking and then put on the brakes to her the way I did...She and you may think it is Arrogance, condescension, disrespect and lacking humility, but it was done in complete love and desire to teach her what she had no clue about.
This was nothing more than....STOP! do not mix bleach with that ammonia....
When its about the way, the truth and the life....we must be firm, direct and blunt to avoid instant death.
The church is powerless because grace will not let us voice a discernment, concern, warning, rebuke, correction, exhortation or otherwise to thousands of "Christians" because grace alone does it all....this is the lie of grace only easy believing...
Grace alone is only taught, yet Grace and truth are what Jesus is all about....we have boatloads of grace, but not any modern day grace teachers care much for the truth....Grace does not set you free, truth sets you free....Grace is the oil to the wheel of the truth....the reformation coming is to purge the grace only teaching from the body.....
Grace is amazing, wonderful, freedom/liberty and empowers the truth.
truth is hard, hurts, forces inward change, restrains and holds grace accountable.
The closer to the truth Jesus got in his doctrine is when he lost the most that were following him...
The real sad thing here is that we have a poster who has tremendous knowledge about grace, but cannot articulate something as beautiful and wonderful as the fear of the Lord...because she is blinded by a grace only message into thinking anything to do with fear and the Lord is works based....grace is present but the truth is not anywhere to be found....this makes grace lasciviousness....
I said this word for word to man I had as a guest speaker in our ministry one night....except I told him to pack and leave...he was not speaking grace or truth...and as the spiritual authority of the people he was speaking to, they needed to be protected agaisnt what he was pushing...I knew that guy for 2 years and had heard him preach/teach many times....he was grace/truth...but what I did not know was he had his ears tickled by false doctrines and was being corrupted by false teaching of rapture date setters like John Hagee, Mark Biltz, Paul Begley and Jonathan Cahn....
We broke fellowship with him immediately....
Soldiers of Christ who make soldiers of Christ do not get there by eating diet bread sticks and drinking powdered milk and sugar coated greasy grace nuggets....They get there by the full counsel of the meat of the word.
I suppose you would call the below Arrogance, condescension, disrespect and lacking humility as well....
I solemnly charge
you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: [SUP]2 [/SUP]preach the word; be ready in season
and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. [SUP]3 [/SUP]For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but
wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, [SUP]4 [/SUP]and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. [SUP]5 [/SUP]But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Truth in lvoe is the greatest thing Jesus ever did....what a pity so many today cannot discern it, or learn from it....
