Can radical grace become a mind control deception for the lawless or the unrepentant?

Can grace be abused and preached as radical grace for the lawless and the unrepentant? You bet. Of course, it is possible. However, those who preached radical grace will keep reminding themselves or one another that there is no more warning for the believers about the abuse of grace or the radical grace deception. It is absurd to preach it as the great revolution. It is like arguing that the believers can never sin (1 John 1:9) or can never sin wilfully (Heb 10:26) when God's words have already been written so clearly about it. I will talk about these Bible verses later:

• 1Jn 1:9-10 KJV  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  (10)  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Jas 5:14-15 KJV  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:  (15)  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
• Heb 10:26 KJV  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,.. Jud 1:3-4 KJV  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.  (4)  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.  
• 1Jn 5:16-18 KJV  If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.  (17)  All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.  (18)  We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. (Hence, how can we say that a believer or a brother can never sin and that he can never perish no matter how he sins? And if he still sins, how can he not confess his sins? And how can 1 John 1:9 be preached as a Bible verse for the non-believers?)

How will radical grace become a mind control deception?
Radical grace is no longer preached as the grace of Jesus Christ for sinners to repent and to come to God; it is now preached as a kind of mind control comfort or deception:

1. To have good opinion of 'God' (as someone who can never judge sinners)
2. To have good opinion of the 'blood' (as some kind of multi-purpose cleansing agent)  
3. To have good opinion of ourselves (as someone who will sin with no more sin conscience to repent)
4. To have good opinion of all our mistakes, sins, and boastings
5. To have good opinion of all false ministers who preach against God's laws, and commandments
6. To have good opinion of God's favour on us to the extent of thinking that our presence alone can draw people to any boutique shop we are in ??? This is crazy. Please think (if your mind can still think now), If this is true, you don't have to walk into other boutique shops to draw people to others. Why don't you just open your own boutique shops and draw people to yourselves? Probably all of us don't need to work; we will just open boutique shops and become millionaires? How about those who are too poor to open boutique shops? They can open coffee shops and make money too?

If radical grace is preached as the above to the sinners, do you think that the sinners will still believe in the true grace of God and the repentance message of the Lord to turn from their sins? No, they will flock to the radical grace or hyper grace preachers who can give them the power or 'favour' to create wealth. They will also find no more condemnation or conviction of sins even if they sin. That's why the radical grace preachers are so popular nowadays. 


Jesus would never tell the sinners to just have good opinion of themselves; he told them to repent !
Many radical grace sinners or believers will question us, "Why don't you preach radical grace as a good mind changing philosophies for us? If we feel less condemned, we will sin no more. And we obey God better. Hence, you should never condemn radical grace as a form of negative thinking or mind control deception against repentance or the law of God .." I will ask them, If you were a pastor, and a thief came to you and confessed that he had difficulty to stop stealing or robbing others, what will you tell him? Will you tell him to just believe in Jesus and ignore his stealing habits without thinking about it? Or will you tell him that believing in Jesus is all he needs to do? No, of course, if a sinner, a thief, an adulterer, a murderer, a liar, a Pharisee, or a false prohet came to you, the first thing you should tell him is: "Do you still steal, lie, or cheat ? Yes? Stop sinning, repent, and turn to God in the name of Jesus". However, I just don't understand why most radical grace preachers are so afraid of offending the sinners that they must resort to telling the sinners to only have good opinion of themselves and preaching mind changing philosophies to please them ? I will ask them, What's so difficult telling the sinners to repent or to sin no more if you are preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ?

• Joh 5:14 KJV  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
• Joh 8:10-13 KJV  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?  (11)  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.  (12)  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.  (13)  The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
• Luk 19:8-10 KJV  And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.  (9)  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.  (10)  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Grace is something given for us to do something; not to do nothing about our sins
The true grace of God is given for sinners to repent, to turn from their lawlessness (sin), and to bear fruit.

• Luk 13:5-9 KJV  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.  (6)  He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.  (7)  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?  (8)  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:  (9)  And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

But grace has been perverted as a kind of radical grace for sinners:

1. To feel no more condemnation of sins
2. To feel no more conviction of sins 
3. To feel no more sin conscience to repent
4. To feel no more condemnation for seeing the suffering of others and our 'neighbour'
5. To feel no more condemnation for ignoring all the teaching of Jesus Christ and the Apostles
6. To feel no more condemnation for rejecting all the teaching of doing good as teaching of the law

• Gen 2:16-17 KJV  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  (17)  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Gen 3:4-5 KJV  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  (5)  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

However, Satan would never tell us the real reason why he wanted us to feel no condemnation. His promise may still sound too good to be true to most of us who feel condemned by sins; but behind that promise of no condemnation is his deception to make us think that all God's words, commands, and the Bible will condemn us; but his preaching or promise will liberate us.. Hence, if we find that we have become very dependent on hearing the good things from certain radical grace preacher or certain radical grace website to feel less condemned daily, we could have fallen into the deception of radical grace or some kind of mind control deception !

Most radical grace preachers would consider teaching of Heb10:26, 1 John 1:9, and many Bible verses as condemnation teaching to the believers. They will tell us, "Of course, those Bible verses are not for us; they are for the non-believers. How can we sin or sin wilfully? We can never sin because we have been purchased by the blood of Jesus."
However, I will ask them, If believers are purchased by the blood and cannot sin, why did Paul warn those who were purchased by the blood to watch out against false prophets and false doctrine? Surely, Paul must have thought that they could still fall even if they had been purchased by the blood. Otherwise, it made no sense for Paul to warn them day and night with tears:

• Act 20:27-32 KJV  For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.  (28)  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.  (29)  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  (30)  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.  (31)  Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.  (32)  And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

Can we sin wilfully or Is it possible for the believers to sin wilfully based on Heb 10:26? 

• Heb 10:16-30 KJV  This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;  (17)  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. .. (26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  (27)  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  (28)  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  (29)  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?  (30)  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
  (But can we twist it and argue that this warning is not for God's people? No, it says very clearly that God will judge His people; not other people. When He used the comparison of a sorer punishment, He confirmed again that He was comparing and warning two of His people - one who despised Moses' law under the Old Covenant, and another who will dishonour the Spirit of grace under the New Covenant. Please think, who were able to despised Moses' law? Of course, nobody except the Jews or God's people who were given the law? Similarly, who can dishonour the Spirit of grace? Of course, no one, except God's people who have been given the grace of God too?)

Many radical grace preachers argue that the Bible verse above, Heb 10:26, can never be God's warning for us because it is too condemning to preach it (as God's warning or judgement for us if we sin wilfully). I will ask them,

• Don't you agree that the letter of Hebrews was written to the Hebrew believers and us?  
• Hence, when the writer said, "If we sin wilfully", of course, he was identifying himself with his audience, and his audience are the Hebrew believers and us; it can never be the non-believers.
• If this is so, how can you pervert it and insist that the letter of Hebrews is written to the non-believers and that the warning is for the non-believers? Of course, it is absurd to interpret that the letter of Hebrews is for the non-believers. It clearly shows that you are trying to make it less condemning to the believers who would sin wilfully when you say that they can just ignore it or keep denying it. 

 

The beast could be a politician. But he is more likely to be a preacher, an orator, or a prophet who can apply the science of mind control effortlessly and amazingly (without the detection or use of microchips), and his name has the number of 666, and he hates the mark of God in those who keep the commandments of God Rev 12:17, 13:1-18, 14:12
