Sinless Perfectionism Heresy (update)

 

For more on the errors of Christian legalism and Sinless Perfectionism, go to my YouTube video playlist:

This will demonstrate how inconsistent legalism and sinless perfectionism is not only historically wrong but how this bad understanding of scripture will continue to degrade other orthodox Christian doctrines. 

 In the first video, this brother states that "WORKS is the SALVATION".  which is complete heresy...  

On the 2nd video, he'll change his position on sinless perfection claiming a believer in Christ CAN "POSSIBLY" SIN after maturity in Christ.  If this is the case, it's no longer sinless perfectionism.

Video 3 demonstrates further how bad doctrine is progressive!  You go from adding rocks to our road to causing an avalanche that can end up flattening us and destroying us unless we humble ourselves to the truth of The Word of God!

Video 4 demonstrates how having a WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS gospel does absolutely nothing to convince the world of the truth of God (in an apologetic sense).   The message of the cross and regeneration is FOOLISHNESS to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1:10).

Let's continue praying to The Lord for the humility to recognize when we're wrong so that we can accept our blind spots wherever we have them in order to continue growing in God's truth.

PART 2

==========

Sinless perfection is the theological position that a Christian can become SINLESS at some point in their walk with God. 

Some falsely believe that this "perfection" can happen as soon as they're saved (born again). 

People who believe this completely distort the doctrines of Justification, Sanctification and Glorification.

They completely misread the exhortation given by the Apostles to the early church to "walk in a manner worthy of your calling".  (Ephesians 4:1; Col. 1:10; 1 Thess. 2:12, etc.)

This false teaching was rejected in the early 4th century but will resurface often when certain believers take on a hyper-literal reading of certain Biblical proof texts.

For more on the false doctrine of Sinless perfectionism, watch/listen to the following videos.

Bible Study: Ephesians 4

 

The richness of this section of scripture is amazing!

I wanted to respond on how it's been misused to include people who are not in the faith.

Also, I want to go over the vastness of the greatness of what Paul is speaking about with regard

to "unity" but doing so in light of God's mysterious plan to unite HEAVEN AND EARTH !!

....What!!! Come, let's do Bible Study together, and thanks for listening.

Woke Broke Christianity

 

Here's a fiery conversation I had with someone who demonstrates another example of the effects of "woke-ness" within Christianity.

The hatred of the church which stems from teaching people to see through the lens of Critical Race Theory gets people intimidated to support the truth of scripture where they'll see racism and White supremacy under every rock.  Warning: Hostile language and yelling.  But here I want to focus more on the bad doctrine and the twisting of scripture over the hostility within the conversation.

The bottom line here is:  Truth can never affirm sin; love without truth is no love at all; A Gospel without a call to repentance is like a vehicle without tires., etc.

Listen in - It's a long and wild one.

God aint Queer!

A conversation I had with an individual who claims that God hasn't only identified Himself as "He" but also as a "She".

I try and help him divert away from this dangerous misreading of the scriptures.

But these are the signs of the times... and the cultural push and attack upon who we are, who God is, etc.

It is because of these dangerous cultural lies that so many people have demonic and deceptive identity problems today.

Peace with God can only come by humbly recognizing who God is and who we are in truth NOT in cultural lies.

When the Church sleeps, the pagans awaken..

 This is what has happen in the church.  We've not passed on the faith to our children in our generation, and we've lost them to the institutions we've abandoned to the culture.  We've done everything wrong and it all started with that first disobedience of not training our children and passing on the faith as instructed in Deuteronomy Chapt. 6:

"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."

When we didn't teach and train, and show by example, we lead our own children astray.  But we also allowed the culture to convince us that our faith is something that must only be within our four walls at home, and not something that should encompass our politics, our morality, our education, our science, our ethics, our joy, our entertainment, our relationships, our stewardship to our neighbors and society, etc.  

And because of all of this, the church has had to endure that much more force against it.  The falling away and abandoning the faith with resentment has been staggering.  And where does one go when they abandon the faith?... to false religion which also includes atheism and secularism.  

The rise of anti-Christian anger and intolerance also increases when the church has no answers, and many fall back into paganism and false Christianity.  

We see this anger and resentment growing as a culture which has been so ripped up with strife and deceit looks towards the original institution which it was supposed to have found answers, but now can only see a tattered image of what once was but is now impotent to bring any power to people's lives.  

Unfortunately, people will always look to themselves and to men to find answers because men were the ones God left on the earth to teach and lead.   But when those teachers are drunk with sin, cowardice and no power, they can't lead anyone.  

Once The Spirit of Truth is gone, there is no power, and darkness sets in.    The only thing to remove darkness is light (Truth).

Until then what's left is less light and no power but many former churches that are now simply social clubs of false piety baking cookies collecting a few bags of canned goods for a couple of less fortunate in the community but that's it.

There are no real evangelistic ministries to hit the streets to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, there are no programs to try and get the communities out of the dependence of failing public school curriculums, no visiting the prisoners, the poor or the widowed, etc., ... and most churches are within a 1-mile radius of a local abortion clinic.   What's needed is for the church to GO OUT to be fishers of men -- NOT concentrate so much effort to invite anyone to "Church"!  Church is where we fellowship but the fish are in the ocean and OUTSIDE of the fellowship.  

There's too much time and effort to grow in numbers for the wrong motive and not enough to slave between brethren and brethren in discipleship.  

No power to bring change because there's NO Holy Spirit.

Instead, the spirit of anger grows and teaches the oppressed to become more hateful than their oppressors and those seeking something to believe in get enticed with sweet sounding lies to get them believing in fluff, false peace, and false pursuits of prosperity.    The world, the flesh and the devil does whatever it wants with them because there is no agitating Spirit within men to destroy the works of evil.   

But I believe that while a remnant remains, the power of The Holy Spirit will continue moving. We will suffer loss because of our disobedience (the law of sowing and reaping) but even now pray that the God of the harvest will bring forth laborers.  

To God be the glory!
