Can we judge?

Can we judge?

Many antinomian preachers say,  "Any preachers or prophets who  judge with the laws, who preach judgement with lots of God's warnings, or who are judgemental, are the Pharisees. If they do not judge, they would still tell us to repent, keep the law of God, and do good. They are preaching self effort. They are still under the law. Hence, we preach against them and churches who keep the laws. But we are not antinomian. We have high regard for God's law. We love the law of God, but we don't do and keep them because we are under grace. Under pure grace and grace revolution, we don't keep any law. It's because law and grace cannot mix. You can only keep either one - law, or grace. As for us and all our families, we keep only grace. And we will cast out all the 'bondwomen' and the laws which keep us under the bondage, condemnation, and the judgement of God.."  I will tell God's preachers, If the antinomian preachers or sinners argue and complain that we always judge with the words of God and we know that we do it rightly, we should take it as a compliment. It's because,

• if we are truly God's preachers, we would judge. We would tell the people what is good and what is bad, what are God's words and what are men's words, what is the will of God and what is not .. etc. Don't you judge and tell the people what is right about your grace revolution and what is wrong with the Pharisees too? If you say that you have never judged, either you are lying or you are not a God's preacher; but a men-pleaser like Aaron who listened to the Israelites and created the golden calf to please them. I believe that Aaron could still be the priest of Israel (after he created the golden calf), not because he was under grace or he was the brother of Moses (Exo 6:20); but because he repented. 
• If we are God's prophets, we would judge too. We won't complain that God's prophets have judged too much or that they are too judgemental just because they have pointed out our sins. Similarly, we won't complain that the doctors have seen our wives with lust just because they have examined the bodies of our wives for symptoms of illness. No, it is their job to do it, bro. Have you heard a doctor complaining against another doctor for doing too much of body examination or health test? No. If a doctor always complains against another doctor who did his job, we know that the one who complains may not have the true spirit of a doctor. Yet today we hear so many preachers or pastors (or the so-called anointed prophets) complaining against their fellow preachers for preaching too much of repentance and confession of sins, for being too judgemental, for teaching too many God's principles and commandments, or for judging and condemning their sins without putting a smile on the face..  Please think, Who are more judgemental? The ones who always judge with God's words, or the ones who always complain about God's judgement? You decide.

It is always the job of the prophets and preachers to preach and 'judge' 
Of course, not everyone can be a judge; neither can everyone be a doctor too. But if we can judge or we can heal and we don't do it, something is wrong. If you can't find a doctor who is afraid to see his patients, neither should we find any prophet who is afraid to judge too. This is the simple logic. 
They will argue, "But, If we are the preachers and we judge, preach repentance, tell the people to turn away from sins, and command them to keep God's commandments, we would be the hypocrites. Why? It's because no one can keep the laws. Jesus said that if we cannot keep a single law, we break all the laws and the Ten Commandments. If we ourselves cannot keep any law and yet we tell the people to keep all the laws, aren't we the hypocrites? Please be honest."
I will tell them, Please be honest, Can the doctors be sick? If the doctors can be sick, will the doctor be hypocrites just because they would still heal the sick and teach the patients how to stay away from their sickness. 
No, of course, we can never be hypocrites just because we still preach God's commandments and teach the people to keep God's laws and commandments too. Please think, Will you tell your kids, "Son, if you cannot stop lying, don't bother if you can keep all the laws too" ? No, if you teach your kids in this way, we cannot accuse you for teaching license to sin; however, neither can we say that you are a good father who knows how to teach the children.
Please think again, Why do some people break the laws and go to jail? Is it because because of the knowledge of the laws which has encouraged them to break the laws ?  No, some of them would still break the law whether they know the laws or whether they are ignorant of the laws totally. But majority of them know the law, and break the laws because they think that it doesn't matter if they break one law or break all the laws. Hence, it is ridiculous to teach the believers that, if we cannot keep a law, it doesn't matter for us to keep all the laws or all the Ten Commandments. I am sure that Jesus would never teach like some of them.


Jesus would not want us to be the law keepers of the Ten Commandments only
Many will still argue, "But, how about the teaching of Jesus about the plucking of your eyes if you can't even keep a law or stop lusting for other women? Obviously, he showed the impossible to bring the people to the end of themselves so that no one will keep the laws or the Ten Commandments.." I will tell them, Please stop quoting the Bible out of its context; but ask yourselves honestly, Did Jesus say that stop lusting is one of the laws in the Ten Commandments? No, it is not even one of the commandments. Hence, it is wrong to say that no one can keep all the Ten Commandments. No, it is easy to keep all the Ten Commandments - The Pharisees and the religious hypocrites can keep them all - Most of them could argue that they did not commit adulteries, did not steal, did not lie, and that they loved God and worshipped God more than we do ..,  but they keep the law of God without true love for God or for men. There are many people who can keep the Ten Commandments too; but not many who can keep the law of Christ or the law of the Spirit. The reason why Jesus would tell us to pluck out our eyes if we cannot keep His law is not because He literally wants us to do so; but because He wants us to keep God's laws and His law at all cost even it may seem impossible for us to do so. Jesus would not want us to be the law keepers of the Ten Commandments only like the Pharisees; He wants us to be the keepers of the law of the Spirit too. Yes, Jesus did show us the impossible to bring us to the end of ourselves. However, He did not do it so that no one will need to keep His law; but He do it so that no one can boast about his righteousness, except to repent, pray humbly before God, and keep God's laws and His law.   

• Joh 14:15 KJV  If ye love me, keep my commandments.
• Rev 22:12-14 KJV  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.  (13)  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.  (14)  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Paul would still want us to walk with the law of God in our minds; not just the Ten Commandments

• Eph 6:1-7 KJV  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.  (2)  Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)  (3)  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.  (4)  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.  (5)  Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;  (6)  Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;  (7)  With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
• Rom 8:1-10 KJV  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (2)  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  (3)  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  (4)  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  (5)  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.  (6)  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  (7)  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  (8)  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.  (9)  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.  (10)  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Most radical grace preachers who do not like to keep the law of God will argue, "But Paul told us that the opposite of the Spirit is the law. Hence, if we must walk in the Spirit, we should not walk in any law, including the law of God. We will just walk in grace, in the Spirit, or in 'lawlessness' (without any law). Hence, we can conclude that:

• walking in the Spirit means walking in lawlessness or walking with no more law; but 
• walking in the flesh means walking in many laws or walking with much law-consciousness.

I will ask them, Did you read the Bible correctly? Please read Paul's letters to the Romans again. How can walking in the Spirit means walking in lawlessness when he said that those who walk in the Spirit would be subject to the law of God; but those who walk in the flesh would not be subject to the law of God (Rom 8:7) ? In fact, in the previous chapter, he said that he would serve the law of God in his mind even if his flesh would always fight and resist to do it - Rom 7:23-25 KJV But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, .. (25) I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. What does it mean? It means that:

• walking in the flesh means walking in the law of sin or lawlessness; but,
• walking in the Spirit means walking in the law of God 
• Heb 8:10 KJV  For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
• Heb 10:16-17 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. (God will remember our sins no more because we have the law of God in our hearts and minds)

Even John and the Psalmist would tell us to walk in the commandments of God

• 2Jn 1:6-7 KJV  And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.  (7)  For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
• Psa 1:1-2 KJV  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  (2)  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
• Psa 37:23-28 KJV  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way ... (27)  Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.  (28)  For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

But only the devil and antiChrist will tell us to depart from God's law and walk in lawlessness

• 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. .. ( 3:4-5) 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.
• Mat 4:3-4 KJV  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.  (4)  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
• Rev 12:17 KJV  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

John said in 2Jn 1:6-7 that the antichrist will deceive us. He will not say that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. In fact, most of the Pharisees did not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh too. The Pharisees were antinomians and antichrists who believed that the law of God can only be kept on the stones. They were teachers of the laws; but not doers of the laws (Mark 7:11). They knew the law on the stones; but not 'the law in the flesh' - Jesus Christ. They thought that if they have good opinion of God, God would have good opinion of them without doing any law.

• Luk 18:11-12 KJV  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.  (12)  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Today they are still around, but they are not the Pharisees. They will argue, "We are not antinomian. We preach Jesus Christ. We preach it more than you do. We are grace preachers. We shows results. We led millions of people to Christ. We have done many miracles .. we do this.. and that.. How about you?"
I will ask them, Yes, you have done many things; but do you do His words? Or do you just tell people to hear Him only? Yes, you may preach grace. But like the Pharisees who are the antinomians who cannot be subject to the law of God, you are the antinomians who cannot do the will of God too:

• Mat 7:15-24 KJV  Beware of false prophets, ..  (20)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  (21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  (22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  (23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (lawlessness).  (24)  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

** We must know what is given by grace, and what is not
The rock of salvation is given by grace; we cannot work for it (Isa 9:6):

• Mat 21:42 KJV  Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
• Eph 2:19-22 KJV  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;  (20)  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;  (21)  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:  (22)  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
• 1Pe 2:3-6 KJV  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.  (4)  To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,  (5)  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.  (6)  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

But, the house that is built on the rock, on the corner stone, or on Him, is not given by grace. Hence, we must work for the house. That's why Jesus would never tell us that the house is given by grace; instead he shows us why:

• we must all do something to build the house; 
• we don't just do nothing. 

We must do the sayings of the Lord who would always tell us to do the will and commandment of His Father. So, don't believe anyone who tells you that everything is effortless, lawless, or 'sweat-less'. It is certainly brainless and meaningless to tell the people to build their house or God's house with no more principle, doctrine, commandments, or teaching of doing good and living in godliness. Beware of the false prophets:

• Mat 24:23-25 KJV  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.  (24)  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  (25)  Behold, I have told you before. 

They will argue, "But the gospel and God's way is not about you achieving, but about you receiving. You reign in life through Jesus Christ by receiving two things from God: the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness (Rom 5:17)." I will tell them, Yes, that is the half truth - that is about the Rock which we must build our 'house' on. Here is the other truth which Jesus tells us to 'build' - God's way and God's will is about You (yourself) building the 'house'. 
I am glad that many believers know that Jesus is the Rock and they have rightly chosen the right foundation that is grace and righteousness from God. However, I am sad that, when we try to look for the 'house', we don't find any ! 

We do not judge the Pharisees, the antinomian preachers, or the false prophets by what they say; but by what they do and teach 
Many antinomian preachers will argue vehemently, "We are not antinomian. We would never preach license to sin. We are just grace preachers who do not preach the law as 'do's and don'ts'. But we would still have high regard for God's laws. We are not lawless. We are husbands of one wives. We are sincere and humble in the grace of God. We are .. ... etc. In fact, sometimes, we sing about the law of God (Psalm 1 and Psalm 34), however, we sing or preach it as the words of God, and we tell the people to meditate on the words of God, not the law of God.. "
I will tell them, The Pharisees would argue that they were not antinomian too. They would say that they were just law preachers, they had high regard for God's laws, they were not lawless, they were husbands of one wives, they were sincere and humble in the law of God too. But Jesus would still consider that they were lawless with great hypocrisy:

• Mat 23:27-28 LITV  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened graves which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness.  (28)  So you also indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Obviously, Jesus would not judge a person as lawless or unscrupulous based on what he confessed or said, but based on what he did and taught. That's why a law preacher, lawyer, Pharisee, or anyone who was almost perfect in the law could still be lawless in the eyes of the Lord. They might not sin like the criminals or sinners, but they could be selfish, arrogant, and corrupted in their minds and attitudes:

• Mat 22:35-36 KJV  Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,  (36)  Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
• Luk 10:25-37 KJV And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?  (26)  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? .. (36) Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?  (37)  And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Similarly, a certain grace preacher or antinomian preacher may stand up today, and ask us too, saying, "What say you .. ? Are we saved by grace or by the law? Why can't we be saved by grace, and reject all the laws?" I will tell them, If a lawyer can be lawless in the eyes of the Lord, I tell you what, A grace preacher can be 'graceless' in the eyes of the Lord too. A person can keep confessing his belief in grace or law, but Jesus would still reject him if he is a hypocrite or a lukewarm preacher. A true follower of Jesus Christ is not based on how well he can confess his belief in grace or law, but how well he knows the will of the Father and do it. The Pharisee is a good example of those who knew the will of God and yet they rebelled without doing it. They might obey all the Ten Commandments perfectly well, but they would always find the loopholes to sin outside the law. For example, they might argue that they could remain perfect in the law of God by divorcing their wives every year to get a 'new' one or a younger one. But it showed us that they were lawless in their hearts and minds:

• Mat 19:3-9 KJV  The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?  (4)  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,  (5)  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?  (6)  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.  (7)  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?  (8)  He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.  (9)  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Similarly, grace preachers or antinomian preachers today can behave like the Pharisees too. They may love grace and always preach grace, but they may try to find the loopholes to sin in grace, and most of them know how to do it better in 'grace', and they are more deceptive than the Pharisees. 

Jesus has made it simple for us: we can all 'judge' (and discern) by what they do and teach
Why did Jesus say that we can judge the false prophets by their fruits Mat 7:16, 20 or by what they 'do and teach', instead of 'teach and do' ? I believe that Jesus has taught us clearly why we ourselves must do first, before we can teach others to do so: 

• Mat 5:19-20 KJV  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  (20)  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (No one is more righteous than the Pharisees; so, all must repent, including the Pharisees).

I believe that a true God's preacher would always learn from Jesus who showed Himself as the example of someone who would do and teach:

• Joh 13:12-18 KJV  So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?  (13)  Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  (14)  If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.  (15)  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.  (16)  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.  (17)  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.  (18)  I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

** The antinomian preachers can never judge even though they may try to pretend that they can do it 
Many still argue, "Of course, we know that we can judge ! But, we do not judge like the law preachers or dooms and glooms preachers; we judge gently. We know how to judge with grace, with a gentle voice, and a friendly smile on our face; but not with many laws, regulations, do's and don'ts, and the 'stones'. Hence, we can judge better and more effectively than those who keep the laws and commandments. That's why Jesus is grace, and grace can teach all of us more effectively without any words, laws, or commandments of God .."
I will tell them, If you think that you can judge better without any law or commandment, please do not tell us that you know how to judge. You are deceiving yourselves and others. If anyone says that he can judge better than the judges of our country who have the laws, any joker will tell us that he can judge too because he can joke with his words. Please think, How can the joker tells us that he can judge when he does not have any law; but only jokes, in his jokes. 
Similarly, antinomian preachers can never judge with true conviction if they do not keep, do, and teach any law of God in their hearts or minds. They may twist their words and argue that they can all 'judge' better with grace or lawlessness; but their lawless or effortless words are meaningless. Please think, They don't keep the laws of God; yet they want us to think that they know how to judge? This is ridiculous. If they do not judge based on the laws and commandments of God, they would judge based on their law. They will judge based on their own words and lawless arguments.

We don't throw stones when we judge; we show the Rock
I will tell them, You said that you are not like others who judge and 'throw stones'. Yes, we judge. But, we don't throw stones; we show the rock. We show the words of the Rock. We will tell all the antinomian people that they must do the will and commandments of the Father if they want to build their houses on the rock. Hence, we don't throw stones; we show them the Rock of salvation, and the law of the Rock - the law of Christ, which includes all the commandments of God too. Do you remember how Jesus wrote on floor with His fingers when the Pharisees asked if He would stone the woman caught in the act of adultery? Most radical grace preachers believe that Jesus wrote the Ten Commandments on the floor (stone) and this had really convicted the Pharisees and caused them to leave one by one:

• Joh 8:7-9 KJV  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.  (8)  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.  (9)  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

I believe that Jesus would still do the same thing if there were Pharisees around today. However, we don't find many 'Pharisees' today; instead we find many antinomian preachers or false prophets. Does it mean that showing them the Ten Commandments is no more effective because they would no longer believe in the law; but only in grace? No, we don't show them the Ten Commandments or the law of the stones not because of that; but because we now have the Rock! We will show them the law of the Rock! I do not know how will they react if we give them the Rock? Will they scream and yell, saying that they've been 'persecuted', or will they leave quietly? I am not sure, but I am sure that: 

• they can no longer 'stand still' to make false accusation against God's people before the Rock
• they will finally leave one by one, like the Pharisees, and
• they will make their 'grand exit' out of God's churches when they can no longer stand before Christ the solid Rock
• Joh 7:16-31 KJV  Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.  (17)  If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.  (18)  He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.  (19)  Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? ..  (22)  Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.  (23)  If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?  (24)  Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. ..   (30)  Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.  (31)  And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? 

The spirit of antinomianism cannot stand before the Lord and the Rock
Many will argue, "But you are not gracious to us if you show us the stones or the Rock. When you show us the law in the stones or the Rock, you are literally throwing 'stones'. You are judgemental. You behave like the Pharisees. But God's preachers don't throw stones; only the Pharisees would throw stones."
I will tell them, No, we don't throw 'stones' when we show you the law in the stones or the Rock. Jesus did not throw stones too when He 'showed' them the law of the stones too (Joh 8:7-9). In fact, we are gracious to the victims of the Pharisees and the lawless ones when we show them the law in the stones or the Rock. When we do it, we may save the victims from unjust punishment and convict both the lawless ones and the victims of the lawless ones: we convict them to sin no more:

• Joh 8:7-11 KJV  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.  (8)  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.  (9)  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.  (10)  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.

Most antinomian preachers will become helpless and speechless when we show them the Rock or the sayings of Jesus. They may not drop dead, but their spirit of antinomianism cannot stand before the Rock. It may drop,  'wriggle' on the floor, and reveal itself as the spirit of the serpent. At this moment, they will argue that they can no longer listen to the words of Christ because they listen only to the gospel that Paul preached, not the gospel that Jesus preached. Hence, Jesus knew that they are the antinomians because they would never listen to what He said even though they may keep arguing and confessing about their love for Him. Jesus said that we can judge them as the antinomians, not by what they said and confessed, but by what they do and teach: by the fruits of what they do and teach !

• Mat 7:15-16 KJV  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

We should ask them, Don't you know that the gospel that Paul preached is based on the gospel that Jesus preached? Don't you know that a disciple can only preach based on the words of his master and Paul was only a disciple of Jesus Christ? If you argue that the words of Jesus have become obsolete because Mat 7:15-23 is part of the sermon on the mount which you do not like to hear, why do you still preach from Mat 6:33-34? Obviously, you have no regard for the Lord's words when you select and preach only the words that you like. We can say that you are an antinomian preacher and a false preacher.

Antinomian preachers cannot teach the words of Christ with the simple truth

• 2Co 11:3-4 KJV  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  (4)  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Many will continue to argue, "Jesus will never show us the law or the Rock. He shows only grace. Don't you know that, if you break one law, you break all the laws. Please think, If Jesus had said so with the example of plucking your eyes if you lust (Mat 5:27-29), He would never encourage us to keep any law. In fact, He showed many parables to tell us that we cannot keep any law. He would show many laws only to bring us to the end of ourselves so that we know that we can never  keep any law or commandment, especially the law of God. He wants us to throw away all the laws, the stones, or the Rock; but keep thinking only about Him or His grace, and nothing else. Yes, we can still love the law of God and have high regard for it, but we don't think of doing it or keeping it."
I will tell them, This is what you say, not what Jesus said. Jesus would never say that, if you break one law, you break all the laws. When did Jesus say, If you lust, you break all the Ten Commandments and therefore you do not need to keep all the Ten Commandments? No, please read your Bible again. He did not say that, if you lust, think of evil, or lose your temper, you break the Ten Commandments. No, if you do that, you only show that you are a sinner who still need to repent. Hence, Jesus had said it to mean that everyone, including the Pharisees and all those who think that they can keep all God's commandments, must still repent. However, it is sad to know that not everyone will repent. There are still 3 main types of people with different responses to the Lord's teaching on repentance today:

1. The self-righteous (or the Pharisees who think that they can just keep the Ten Commandments) would feel condemned and think that the words and the teaching of the Lord is condemnation which kills. They will depart from Christ and become antiChrist.
2. The self-righteous (or the antinomian preachers who think that they don't have to keep any law) would feel condemned and think that the words and the teaching of the Lord is not for them. They will depart from the law of God and become antinomians ('anti-Law').
3. The sinners (or the believers who think that they must keep all God's commandments) would feel convicted and repent under the power of the Holy Spirit. They will keep the commandments of God and become the true disciples. 1Jn 5:2-12 KJV By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.  (3)  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.  (4)  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  (5)  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? ..
