What is the lawless lies or the lies of the antinomians?

The 'lawless' lies or the lies of the antinomians
I have talked about the thinking of the antinomian preachers quite extensively in my previous post 'Can we judge?' Now I will talk about what they preach:
One of the greatest lies of the antinomians is: You can preach prosperity, the blessings of Deuteronomy, or 'sin no more'; but not the commandments of God, especially the Ten Commandments.
I will ask them, Both the blessings of the Deuteronomy 28 and the Ten Commandments were taught by the Jews under the Old Testament; but why do you tell people to preach only the blessings of God; not the commandments of God? Do you know that the serpent or the antinomians can only preach the blessings of God that is good, pleasant, and desirable; but not the commandment of God?

• 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 3:4-6 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.  (6)  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 

They will say, "Of course, 'Law demands, Grace supplies'. We should preach only the blessings which are good, pleasant, and desirable. We will never preach condemnation and judgement. Only the devil will preach condemnation and judgement, and keep asking the sinners to repent, but we have a better and more positive gospel. It is called the gospel of 'radical grace'. Yes, it is too good to be true; but it is the only true gospel which can save you and make you prosper effortlessly. Yes, we deny vehemently that we've taught license to sin. We still tell people to sin no more. That's because Jesus still tell the people to sin no more (Joh 5:14, Joh 8:11), but He did not tell them to keep the Ten Commandments. In fact, He used the example of the plucking of the eyes (Mat 5:27-29) to show us that we can never keep any law and therefore it is of no use if we keep any law."
I will tell them, Please use your common sense if you can still think. What's the difference between asking people to 'sin no more' and asking them to 'keep God's commandments'? Isn't it the same? Please tell us, What does it mean when you tell the people to 'sin no more'? Is it just telling them to do good, be considerate, and behave themselves? No, it is to keep God's commandments (or repent, turn from lawlessness, and return to keeping God's commandments).

• 1Jn 3:3-4 LITV  And everyone having this hope on Him purifies himself even as that One is pure.  (4)  Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

Sin is lawlessness; hence to 'sin no more' is to do and teach 'no more lawlessness'

Those who do and teach 'lawlessness' have lost their first love and rejected Christ
Many will still argue, "What's the big deal if we do and teach 'lawlessness'? Anyway, we do not tell the people to sin; we just tell them to have no more law. That is the gospel that Paul preached. It's because under grace, there is no more law. Isn't that the New Testament ?"
I will tell them, Do you know that the gospel that Paul preached is based on the gospel that Jesus preached? Before you preach the gospel that Paul preached, do you understand the gospel that Jesus preached? The gospel that Jesus preached is more than the gospel that Paul preached. It extends beyond Paul's teaching on grace. It extends into the future and into the book of Revelation that was written by John, where we will still find God's  laws, judgement, warnings, rebukes, and prophecies.

• Rev 22:11-16 KJV  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.  (12)  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.  (15)  For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.  (16)  I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

I have said that the teaching of the Lord has prophecies which extend into the future (see my previous post in 'Can we judge?'). The teaching and the prophecies of the Lord extend beyond the time when the Jews or the Pharisees were judged. It will surely extend into the future when the false prophets, antinomian preachers, and antiChrist will be judged. Yes, every believer can now build their 'houses' on the Rock because they have received Christ by grace; but they have not received their 'houses' by grace. They must build their 'houses' themselves according to the words and commandments of Christ. If anyone preaches otherwise, he could be a false prophet. It's because he has rejected the words and teaching of Christ. He may preach a 'better' gospel, a more 'effortless' gospel, or a fantastic gospel, but we know that he preaches 'lawless' lies which multiply and produce lawlessness, and it will ultimately cause the love of many to grow cold in the last days:

• Mat 7:15-24 LITV  But beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are plundering wolves.  (16)  From their fruits you shall know them. ..  (20)  Then surely from their fruits you shall know them.  (21)  Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven.  (22)  Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power?  (23)  And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!"(24)  Then everyone who hears these Words from Me, and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house on the rock;
• Mat 24:11-25 LITV  And many false prophets will be raised and will cause many to err.  (12)  And because lawlessness shall have been multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold. .. (24) For false christs and false prophets will rise up. And they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.  (25)  Behold, I tell you beforehand.
• Rev 2:1-5 LITV  To the angel of the Ephesian assembly, write: ..  (2)  I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and that you cannot bear evil ones; and you tried those pretending to be apostles and are not, and found them to be liars.  (3)  And you bore up and have patience and on account of My name you have labored and have not wearied.  (4)  But I have against you that you left your first love.  (5)  Then remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. And if not, I am coming to you quickly, and will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. (The church of Ephesus may have the love for others or the obedience to God's commandment to love others, to labour, and to do good to others, but they have grown cold in their love for God, which is their first love.)

From their fruits you shall know them
They will argue,  "How can you judge us as the antinomians just because we don't do or teach the law of God? Don't you know that we save more souls than the law preachers? we can cast out demons, we pray in tongues, we do many miracles .. In fact, everyday we receive tons of testimonies from the internet, from our emails, and from those who are healed because of our 'lawless' teaching. It proves that teaching without the law is more effective than the teaching with the law.. It proves that we are more anointed preachers. The Pharisees and those who still keep the laws and commandments of God can never do like us.. We preach Jesus more than they do .."
I will tell them, Yes, you are right: You are more 'anointed' than the Pharisees, you preach Jesus, and you can prophesy. But what you said has also proved that the warning of the Lord against the false prophets in Mat 7:15-24 is not about the Pharisees and those who were under the law; but about you (who can do miracles, prophesy, and preach in His name). You have proved that the prophecy of the Lord is not obsolete because you are the prophecy. Please stop deceiving the people that the warning and prophecy of the Lord is obsolete and that it is only for those who were under the law. No, it is for us to beware of the false prophets who will rise in the end time. It is an important prophecy which tells us how to know if they are the false prophets. It is by the fruits of what they do and teach:

• Mat 7:15-24 LITV  But beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are plundering wolves.  (16)  From their fruits you shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?  (17)  So every good tree produces good fruits, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruits.  (18)  A good tree cannot produce evil fruits, nor a corrupt tree produce good fruits.  (19)  Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire. (20)  Then surely from their fruits you shall know them.  (21)  Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven.  (22)  Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power?  (23)  And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!"(24)  Then everyone who hears these Words from Me, and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house on the rock;

If we read the highlighted words above again, we shall know that it is not the fruits of the good works in outward appearance; but the fruits of what they do and teach subtly which can bring long term irrevocable influence or impact to the church and the world. 'Lawless' teaching may seem to bring effortless prosperity, divine health, fantastic favours, and supernatural transfer of worldly wealth to the people in the short run, but in the long run, it will bring disaster and sinking sand to all of us. It has bad foundation without the teaching of Christ who tells us to build our 'houses' on the rock instead of lawlessness.
