Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid! On the contrary, we establish the law. Rom 3:31
If you’re told that Salvation is by Faith and NOT of Works, how does the Law come into play? Simple answer: ‘It Doesn’t’…..at least in your mind. But What is Faith? Is ‘faith without works’ dead? As James says or does the ‘works’ he is speaking of ‘FOLLOW’ Faith. Whereas the Faith comes first. So Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him as Righteousness. (Rom4:3)
But what if I also tell you that Abraham WALKED in the STEPS of his faith, doing the DEEDS of faith and thereby OBEYED God? (Rom4:14, John8:39, Heb11:8) Wouldn’t that make faith the following:
A Walk of Faithful Deeds and Obedience! All One in the Same thing. That’s why Faith (real faith) Upholds and Established the law. (Rom13:10) Because it Obeys and Keeps the Commands of Christ! In this the Bible then Makes perfect sense.
As ‘Workers’ together with God, we Work Out our Salvation in fear and trembling, Make our Calling Sure, Run the Race with endurance, Fight the good fight, Holdfast, endure, and obey. It’s no longer necessary for the pastors to explain all these away and convince you Deeds don’t matter. Because the Bible CLEARLY says you will Judged According to your Deeds:
who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, Rom2:6-8(Also Check: Matt12:37, 16:27, Jh5:28-29, 2Cor5:10, 1Pet1:17, Rev2:23, 22:11-14)
Now if Deeds will determine the Outcome of your Salvation (as these passages clearly state) WHY would you embrace a System of Doctrine that teaches otherwise? James plainly says that the ‘Devils also Believe’ James2:19. Meaning they indeed possess Faith! It’s undeniable that they (the devils) possess the SAME faith your Churches Preach as SAVING Faith. It’s the faith of Slothful, Biblical illiterate, lukewarm hypocrites who love the fun and games of their ‘religion’ but loath the Commands of Scripture.
Faith is WALKING in the Spirit, not the flesh. (Rom8:1-4) Thus it fulfills the Righteous requirements of the law and falls in line with the Message of Christ. When asked what must I do to inherit eternal life, He answered in this manner: “KEEP the Commandments!” (Matt19:16-22) Explained further therefore in Romans 8, The Greatest of all Commandments to love God is KEPT by WALKING in the Spirit….again a WORK of Faith With Power! (2Thess1:11) DEEDS and FAITH…..Synonymous! You can’t have one without the other or you’re nothing more than a ‘Devil’ who ‘Believes’.
What they have done inside the System is highly ‘Spiritualize’ the Bible and make simple truths into big mysterious doctrines only the theologians can understand. Thereby they can easily convinced the unlearned their ‘System’ is correct and the Bible actually does teach that your Sins are Covered by Grace, your Imputed Righteous and Eternally Secure. All by merely ‘Believing’ in Jesus! From there it’s easy to explain away all the Direct Commands and Warnings of Scripture. It’s says ‘Obey’ but Really means, HE Obeyed for you. It says ‘Serve’, but really means HE Served in your place. In fact, EVERYTHING Jesus said about Holding fast, enduring to the end, Taking up your cross, denying yourself, counting the cost, is to show you HE DID it all so you don’t have to!
You see how Slick this Message really is and why it’s dubbed ‘Great Swelling Words of Emptiness’ in the Bible. (2Pet2:18) Rather than you Working out your own Salvation, Making your calling Sure, Running the Race with endurance, Patiently Continuing in the faith, JESUS Did it all for you IN ADVANCE! That’s whey Faith can NEVER be associated with Works or Deeds of any sort, no matter What the Bible says. You Remain a Wretched, Chief of Sinners, Convinced that Sin humbles your heart before God, when in reality you’re growing Harder and Harder by the day in rebellion to the truth.
But that’s another discussion entirely, we’ll deal with later. Here we need to understand the Working Dynamic of Saving faith. It’s really VERY Simple: There is a LAW of Faith, Rom3:27, The LAW of Faith is LOVE, Gal5:6, Faith WORKS by Love, And Love Upholds and Fulfills the LAW! Rom13:10.
Without this Working Dynamic, you possess the Faith of Devils. James2:19. That’s why Faith Without Works is Dead and WHY Abraham was Justified by his DEEDS and NOT by FAITH ALONE! Js2:24.
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30
More Smooth Words!
Do not Prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits! Isa30:10
Brood of Vipers! Who Warned you to flee from the Wrath to Come? DEEDS Prove Repentance! Produce them or Perish. Repentance Proven by Deeds is the Common theme throughout the Scriptures. EVERY Prophet sent of God Preached this Message, including the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is Based on the Solid Foundation of a Departure from Iniquity. Its Fundamental starting in the Book of Acts; Learned from the Prophets and faithfully imitated to the letter.
“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts2:38
testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts20:21
to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds! Acts26:18-20
testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts20:21
to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds! Acts26:18-20
In Repentance the Sin has to STOP! You came in Godly Sorrow with a Vehement Desire Change and a CLEARING of Wrong Doing. It’s NOT a mere confession of sinfulness or repeat after me prayer. (You won’t find that anywhere in the testimony of the Prophets.) Real Repentance results in Purity of heart. No one is ‘Saved’ in Sin. When the Lord spoke of Repentance He included this Departure from Sin. As happened in Nineveh under Jonah’s preaching….the People Stopped Sinning and sought the Lord! But such Cities as rejected the Preaching of John and the mighty Works of Christ, He pronounced Doom. Comparing them with the past wicked cities of Tyre and Sidon who did not have the opportunity to hear the preaching of John.
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida ! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon , they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Matt11:21
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. Matt12:41
So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. Then word came to the king of Nineveh ; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water. But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish? Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it. Jonah3;1-10
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 2Cor7:10-11
We are told explicitly to Heed the Word of the Prophets. (2Pet1:19-21) But Professed Christianity ignores them and Preaches ‘Another’ Gospel based on the Doctrines of men. The Religious System has not Changed since the days of Christ. He encountered an entrenched and dogmatic Hierarchy who refused to yield. They were the ‘Children of Abraham!’ as YOU are the Product of the ‘Reformation’ Neither WALKS in the Steps of Faith or Performs the Deeds of Faith, but they
occupy the seats of Authority. (and always have) They represent the Greatest obstacle to God’s Truth on Earth.

Do Not be Afraid of their faces. For I AM with you to deliver you, says the Lord. (Jer1:8) The fear of man is a snare and a sure fire way to distort the Truth. The Pastors today are frightened out of their wits that anything they say may cause an offense. They are dismayed by the Faces of the people because the Lord is NOT with them! Therefore they Preach Smooth words and Soft things and make Great Swelling promises based on fallacy.
Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD. Jer1:8
And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. Ezk2:6
Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. Ezk3:8
When you expose sin the faces of the people will appear as though they want to swallow you down whole! They will believe in their hearts that you hate them and you will instantly become their enemy. But whether they hear or refuse to heed is of no effect on you. They are rebellious and unyielding in their delusion. If they would hear you, they would Obey God! They will be Judged according to their ways. Your job is to warn the Righteous and the Wicked that sin will destroy them. Do Not fear them, but fear only God who can Cast body and Soul into hell.
Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.” Ezk3:9
You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. Ezk2:7
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel ; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: Ezk3:17
Remember the impudent occupy the seats of authority. The Prophets stand aloof and challenge their false gods and lying Doctrines. The Strongest temptation is always, ‘If you can’t beat them Join them!” Many have been lost to the System who could not endure the shame and isolation of renouncing the false Church. But if you have received His Word into your heart, it will burn with an intensity you cannot resist, Deep inside your bones. You Must Speak!
Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. Ezk3:10
“LORD, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life Rom9:3
Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name.” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. Jer19:9
Standing in the Gap is always Costly. Even close friends and loved ones will forsake you. False brethren will try to bring you down. You’ll be miss-understood and spoken of as an evil doer. But your Vindication is in the Lord, He is the final Judge. His Word will live forever and those who Serve Him faithful to the end will enter His Kingdom in Glory.
Wolves: Examining the Spirit of Error within the Churches of today
"IF ANYONE Comes to you and DOES NOT bring THIS DOCTRINE (the doctrine that is according to godliness, 1Tim6:5) DO NOT receive him into your house nor greet him, for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds!" 2John 10-11
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits!" Matt7:15
(IMPORTANT: Click the Link above for more Info)
The System is overrun with an ARMY of False Teachers (too many to count and/or refute) leading Millions into the Spirit of Error. They use the Scriptures to teach a Pagan Doctrine derived out of third Century Rome! Dubbed: 'Reformed Theology' ..... This includes a very slick, and sophisticated version of Satisfaction Doctrine based on a Substitution theory developed by a Catholic Bishop over a thousand years ago!
The Modern version dates from the Reformation (1500-1800) and is based on a Moral Transfer, Pre-forgiveness of Sin, Rewards issue and Eternal Security. (all explained with great detail on this blog AND here)
To Various degrees of influence this form of False Doctrine is Preached and Taught Worldwide, inside the System of Churches, Seminaries, Bible Colleges, publishing houses and dominates the airwaves.
Many further confuse the issue by Mixing the theories and introducing partial quotes of early church fathers without actually examining the facts and properly disseminating it against the Word of God.
Thus the spirit of error runs rampant throughout the System and more un-discerning victims fall pray to the Swelling Words of emptiness and follow these teachers down the Wide Road to Destruction. It is our sincere desire to shine the Light of Truth into this Darkness and wake you up before it's too late.
You will be Shocked to find Many of your Favorite and Famous Teachers on this list. Perhaps even your own Pastors and Church Leaders! But the Truth is not always Pleasant. Often times it Cuts you to the heart! Therefore DON'T Say that you can SEE, if the Light in you is Really Darkness....then How GREAT is that Darkness! SO:
AWAKE to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1Cor15:34
Remember: 'WIDE is the Gate & Broad is the Way that Leads to Destruction, and MANY Go in by it!' Matt7:13

John Stephen Piper (born January 11, 1946) is an evangelical Calvinist Christian Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is the author of numerous books. His theology is strictly Calvinist adopted from the Reformation, NOT the Apostles! He believes in double predestination, which includes "unconditional reprobation" as a corollary to the Calvinistic doctrine of unconditional election, Thus Man does not posses Free Will or Ability to Repent and turn from his sins unless God has so elected him to do so. He teaches justification by faith alone apart from works, and perseverance of the Saints, (eternal Security) His Errors are legion and far to many to enumerate. We have a Number of Audios Comparing his teaching with the Bible and pointing out the blatant contradictions in his theology. Basically he (like many others) Preaches a Sinning Gospel, covered by a mountain of fluff. However he is very slick, well polished, professional and has the persona of a Lamb. preacher and author, currently serving as Pastor for Preaching and Vision of
Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer (born October 3, 1941) is an evangelical Christian pastor, teacher and author. He is currently the senior pastor of Moody Church, in Chicago, Illinois. He loves to place a great empathizes on infants being born into sin, comparing them to Hitler, separated only by circumstances. His theology builds on this false notion and creates another ear tickling message that God declares you righteous while you remain in your sins. He often teams up with Ankerberg on their TV Show in a question / answer format to spread the lie. He has been Pastor of Moody Church since 1980.
John Ankerberg:
John Ankerberg (born December 10, 1945 in Chicago) is an ordained minister and the author or co-author of 87 books, primarily through Harvest House Publishers. He also produces and hosts his own nationally-syndicated Christian television talk show, The John Ankerberg Show. He is instrumental in the Promise Keepers rallies that cater to 'addicted' Christians in bondage to pornography, lust and various other vices. Proving that birds of a feather flock together the promise keeper movement involves a wide range of evangelical ministers from the Main Stream.....Including: Max Lucado. The movement itself is based solely on Reformed theology and has NOTHING to do with Real Repentance or breaking the bondage of sin. They have been charged with serious infractions against the Holy Character of Jesus Christ that many would call Blasphemy. Many unsuspecting victims have been drawn into their hype only to be further deceived by the lies they put forth.
John Fullerton MacArthur, Jr. (born June 19, 1939) is a United States evangelical writer and minister noted for his radio program entitled Grace to You. MacArthur is a popular author and conference speaker and has served as the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California since 1969, and as the president of The Master's College (and the related The Master's Seminary) in Santa Clarita, California. He holds to Reformed theology but is not a traditional Calvinist in the strictest since. He mixes theologies and covers himself with a great deal of contradictory rhetoric. At one moment it will sound as though he is promoting obedience and righteous living and then he will promote Carnal Christianity. He agues for 'Lord-Ship' Salvation (meaning Jesus must be accepted as Savior and Lord of your life) but ignores Repentance Proven by Deeds. (Acts26:19-20) His opinions often put him at odds with other ministries. But bottom line he teaches Penal Substitution, Moral Transfer and Eternal Security, although he may cloak his doctrine with high sounding words of fluff.
Pastor Richard Warmack 2808 North Trenton Ruston LA, Grace Baptist Church. A typical independent, 'sovereign grace' fellowship established October of 1987. Warmack teaches the Five Tenets of Calvinism, the 'TULIP' He proudly proclaims that the Elect are Not Condemnable, although they sin grievously and that Christ's Righteousness and Obedience is transferred to them by faith alone. Under his teaching man is unable to access his free will unless God has so ordained from the foundation of the world. He has very little patience with dissenters and typifies these type of 'Baptist' preachers throughout the South.
Ray Comfort is a New Zealand born Christian minister and evangelist. Comfort started Living Waters Publications and The Way of the Master in Bellflower, California and has written a number of books. Comfort's claim to fame is 'Hell's Best Kept Secret', in which he believes preaching the law as basic evangelism will bring about real conversion. If a person is effectively shown they have broken God's Holy Law and that Christ is the remedy it will persuade them to 'receive' Jesus as their personal Savior. However, with all the fluff removed, Comfort is pushing the exact same message as everyone else.

Ed Young is the founding and Senior Pastor of Fellowship Church. The church has its main campus just north of the DFW Airport and operates three satellite campuses in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area and one in Miami, Florida. This guy is the Spirit of Error personified! He has bewitched Millions of young people with his soft-sell approach to the Gospel. They buy into his lies because it cuddles their flesh and gives them the perfect excuse for sin. Young's catch phrases are legion. He loves to call himself the 'Supersonic' Sinner, a Liar, the Chief of Sinners and Roman's Wretch. He uses tasteless language on stage and tells offense Jokes with sexual innuendoes. Of course the people love it! He has went as far as to promote a theme of 'sexual' relations with your spouse, LIVE on stage with his wife, making silly remarks and jesters while setting on a King size bed! Young could very well be one of the Main-Stream Anti-Christ's of our Century marching thousands of our young people down the Wide Road to Destruction.

Joel Osteen (born March 5, 1963) is an American author and the senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. His ministry reaches over seven million broadcast media viewers weekly in over 100 nations around the world. Truly a Wolf among wolves! Osteen is a Charlatan extraordinaire, teaching the Prosperity Gospel, making godliness into gain. He is an expert at exploitation and selling a Positive image to the people. It has Nothing to do with Preaching the Gospel of Repentance and Faith, but it lines his pockets with a lot of Green! His mass appeal is to the Biblical illiterate who think God is some kind of Cosmic slot machine anxious to pay off.

Henry Allen "Harry" Ironside (October 14, 1876-January 15, 1951) was a Canadian-American Bible teacher, preacher, pastor, and author in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was influential in popularizing dispensationalism among Protestants in North America, much like Cyrus Scofield. His theological views were strictly reformed and remain in circulation today in many books and commentaries.
DL Moody:
Dwight Lyman Moody (February 5, 1837 - December 22, 1899), also known as D.L. Moody, was an American evangelist and publisher who founded the Moody Church, Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts (now Northfield Mount Hermon School), the Moody Bible Institute and Moody Publishers. Moody was outspoken and dynamic, people flocked to hear him. But he preached the same Redemption Model as his peers. The Message tickled ears far and wide and brought thousands into a false relationship with Christianity. Unfortunately his influence is still felt today at the famous Moody Church in Chicago and the Bible Institute he founded. Although he would be appalled at the lukewarm complicacy griping the main stream churches of our day, he would still fail to understand how his own message contributed to the mess. Moody was a Calvinist, Reformed and preached the classic Doctrines of Substitution, Moral Transfer, pre-forgiveness of sins and eternal security.

He was a pioneer in preaching over the radio on a program known as "The Bible Study Hour".[1] Today, the program continues to air and is entitled "Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible". In 1949, his program began a weekly study of the Book of Romans, which lasted until his death. He also wrote many articles and books. Barnhouse was a full fledged Calvinist. His Model of Redemption is based on Substitution and Moral Transfer. Many of his views were truly outrageous. Click on his name and read for yourself. He has Ananias and Sapphira, saved and even Judas! He may as well have been a Universalistic with such opinions.
John Calvin (Middle French: Jean Cauvin; 10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism. Originally trained as a humanist lawyer, he broke from the Roman Catholic Church around 1530. After religious tensions provoked a violent uprising against Protestants in France, Calvin fled to Basel, Switzerland, where he published the first edition of his seminal work Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536.
Calvin was influenced by the Augustinian tradition, which led him to expound the doctrine of predestination and the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation of the human soul from death and eternal damnation. His work codified what later would be called 'Calvinism' and adopted to some extent by thousands of false teachers after him. He had no patience with retractors and ruled Geneva with an iron fist. Michael Servetus, a Spaniard who opposed him was deemed a heretic by Calvin and Burned at the Stake! He also participated in other executions and even torture. Calvin was anything but a Christian! It's Sad that his theology is upheld in our higher institutions to this day. The man was a despot and criminal and should be exposed as such.

Martin Luther:
10 November 1483 – 18 February 1546) was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation. He was a dedicated Augustinian Monk and believed that the Catholic church had drifted too far from the original intent of Augustine's teachings. Although he opposed the indulgences of the Catholic church in his 95 Thesis, he held to many heretical views that brought about severe persecutions and even torture of various groups. Such as the Anabaptists and Jews. He was so much opposed to Justification being associated with any Works of Righteousness that he dubbed the Book of James, the 'Epistle of Straw!' To him Election of God was absolute and Man was void of Free Will. Like Most of the so-called Reformers, he was totally deceived in his understanding of the Bible, but managed to influence his own and future generations with Doctrines of Demons that have seared millions to this day. Exposing his legion of errors would fill pages on this Blog.

Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church in his day. With his golden voice he deceived millions preaching the Gospel of Sin. He was an outspoken Calvinist and severely criticized anyone who strayed from Reformed Doctrine.
Do Not Be Deceived: You Reap what you Sow!
Conclusion
Natural sin, Substitution, Moral Transfer, Imputed Righteousness and Eternal security are NOT taught in the Bible, nor were they entertained by the Pre-Augustinian writers of the Christian Faith. At best, these Notions are based on pure Conjecture. Study the record and discover that each of these tenets were INVENTED at some Point in History LONG after the Early Church passed away. Most of the Fallacies can be traced directly back to Pagan Teachings derived out of ancient Rome. All this can easily be confirmed by Study of historical Documents available on line with a close Comparison of Bible Scripture.
For those of you who are unaware, the Early Christians emphatically Taught and Believed that Jesus was a Teacher of Righteousness by Example. Sound Doctrine meant Godly Living here and now. Jesus Death on the Cross was Not only a fulfillment of Prophesy, but in theory a Ransom aimed at Rescuing man from the Corrupting influence of sin. Faith Purified the heart by Obedience to the Truth and Repentance meant you STOP Sinning Before the Holy Spirit could indwell. Judgment was according to Deeds done in the Body and Both Repentance & Faith were PROVEN by Deeds.
