TURNING GOD'S GRACE INTO AN IDOL

 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 3, ESV)

Grace Does Not Relieve The Christian From Their Duty To Contend For Proper Doctrine

As I began to talk about in Indeed, Did God Really Say? through the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC) we are seeing a growing cult of pseudo-Christians perverting the grace of God. We’re actually witnessing a new “tradition” of men develop in that these dreamers have made this attribute of God into an idol and are now so over-emphasizing it to the point of antinomianism.

A good example would be the following from Twitter by someone named Khad Young, who tells us he’s Minister of Grace at Metamorphosis Church, yet another in a veritible cornucopia of social clubs churches “for people who don’t want to go to church”:

God’s grace is bigger than any disagreement we could ever have. God’s love runs deeper than any division. (Online source)

Young’s musing was then ReTweeted by “pastors” Jay Bakker and Connie Waters, names now familiar to Apprising Ministries readers. The problem for these emerging teachers now turning away from the faith into mythology (see—2 Timothy 4:4) is that God gave us boundaries in Scripture; and grace does not mean that I, as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, will simply put aside my disagreement with those like Young, Bakker, Waters, and other EC ministers more widely known e.g. ELCA “pastor” Nadia Bolz-Weber who hold the same corrupt views.

No doubt their hue and cry is men like me are “haters”; but the truth is, they are actually the ones who are so divisive. It’s important that you come to understand that they are the ones who are in open rebellion against the Word of God, and thereby with the Lord Himself. You see, in their homopression, they continue lying to people about the nature of God. The fact is, it’s these rebels against the Bible who are spreading the lie to GLBTQ people, for whom Christ died, that having sexual relations with another of the same sex i.e homosexuality is not sin. 

And sadly, just as is currently happening in the more “conservative” of the dying mainline denominations, it’s people like those mentioned above who are causing Christians to have to divide as they right now begin sowing their divisive doctrine among younger mainstream evangelicals. However, there can be no unity for the Christian with those who would dare defy Jesus calling Him “Lord” while encouraging practicing GLBTQ people in their homosexual sin:

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
