What's the real problem of radical grace or hyper grace?

The real problem is not because the preachers of radical grace or hyper grace today preach too much grace or preach grace too radically and comprehensively. It is a problem because they preach radically, not to show that God is gracious, but to show that God is a 'lawless' God or that God has no more law for them .. But, as soon as the churches start to question their antinomian beliefs, they would just backtrack, insist that they have high regard for the law, and argue vehemently that most churches are the 'elder brothers' who have misunderstood them or falsely accused them. I believe that Jesus would still judge them as the 'lawless'. Jesus would not show grace or mercy to the lawless, especially those who are the lukewarm antinomian and are neither here nor there in the doctrine of Christ.

• Rev 3:15-16 KJV  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  (16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (When Jesus spue them out, it shows that they were in Christ, but now they are no more in Christ)

Yes, undeniably they can preach grace radically and convincingly with revolution, signs, and wonders; but ironically, the way they do it is not very gracious at all.
Please think, If God has no more law for us, no more law for the churches, or no more law for the world, can God still be the Judge or can God still judge in the end time? No, if there were no more law, the false prophets and the lawless would argue that God had to 'judge' them righteously without the law because they did not have any law, know any law, or break any law. They would argue that God is unrighteous to judge them based on His law, but based on their 'laws' or their deeds. Yes, they may boast and insist that they were righteous in the name of Christ and that they know Him; however, the Lord will not accept them: 

• Mat 7:15-23 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!"

Hence, it is not surprising to know that the end time generation will fight against the law and the prophets (the spirit of the law that is represented by the two prophets, Moses and Elijah), not because the 'lawless' generation want to live like 'gods' or live godlessly, but because they were influenced to think that God's law is a burden or hindrance to them, especially to the preaching or belief of their 'radical grace' revolution and prosperity. When they rise against the laws of God, unknowingly they have stood like the lawless who work or multiply lawlessness in the eyes of God:

• Mat 24:10-13 LITV  And then many will be offended, and they will deliver up one another and will hate one another.  (11)  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.  (13)  But the one who endures to the end, that one will be kept safe.
• Rev 11:10 KJV  And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Hence, the radical grace message is more appealing to the end time generation, not because it shows them a better and clearer call to repentance; but it confuses them about the need to repent and confess sins. It gives them all the excuse, delay, and false doctrine to justify themselves not to think, do, and preach any thing against sins. It gives them the justification to preach false accusation against those who preach correct traditional view on doing repentance and keeping God's commandments too.


What will happen when there is no more law in the world?
This is a simple truth: If there is no more law in the world, no one can be judged. But please ask yourselves honestly, If our courts have no more law, can the judge be really a judge? Can the criminals be criminal? No, if there is no law, no criminal can be convicted in any of our courtrooms. Similarly, if there is no law in the kingdom of God, false prophets or lawless prophets can not be judged and convicted either. If the false prophets cannot be judged convincingly, justly, and righteously, they would enter into the kingdom of God and the true believers will suffer. There will not be any true redemption in the kingdom of God too. Hence, the preaching of radical grace and hyper grace may sound very ideal, but it is fruitless and it could be a hidden deceit which has been planted by the lawless according to the words of God. That's why lawlessness can be a mystery. Antinomian preachers will hide themselves. They are not obvious, but they are dangerous:

• 2Th 2:5-8 LITV  Do you not remember that I told you these things, I yet being with you?  (6)  And now you know the thing holding back, for him to be revealed in his time.  (7)  For the mystery of lawlessness already is working, only he is holding back now, until it comes out of the midst.  (8)  And then "the Lawless One" will be revealed, "whom" "the Lord" "will consume" "by the spirit of His mouth," and will bring to nought by the brightness of His presence. 
• 1Ti 1:5-11 LITV  but the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience, and faith not pretended,  (6)  from which having missed the mark, some turned aside to empty talking,  (7)  wishing to be teachers of law, neither understanding what they say, nor about that which they confidently affirm.  (8)  And we know that the Law is good, if anyone uses it lawfully,  (9)  knowing this, that Law is not laid down for a righteous one, but for lawless and undisciplined ones, for ungodly and sinful ones, for unholy and profane ones, for slayers of fathers and slayers of mothers, for murderers,  (10)  for fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and if any other thing opposes sound doctrine,  (11)  according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I was entrusted.

Many argue that there is no more law for them based on the Bible verses above 1Ti 1:5-11. I will tell them, Please read it again. Paul said, Law is not laid down for a righteous man. It means that Law is laid down for sinners. Hence, I don't think we can all consider ourselves to be so righteous that we do not need any rules and regulations in our traffics, schools, countries, or churches. I can understand that we can be righteous enough to be called the righteousness of God or the children of God because of the finished work of Jesus.  However, have you read until 1 Ti 1:9-10. What did Paul mean when he said, "any other thing which opposes sound doctrine" in 1 Ti 1:10? He meant "anything which is false doctrine or lawless philosophy". It also means that the law has little or no effect on us if we have already being obeying and keeping God's doctrine and commandments; but it is also our weapon (our sound doctrine) against the ungodly, the lawless, the profane ones, the liars, the perjurers, the vain speakers, and those who preach false doctrine, lies, or anything which oppose the doctrine of God.


What will happen if the Holy Spirit cannot convict the world of sin and judgement; but of righteousness only?

• Joh 16:7-12 LITV  But I tell you the truth, it is advantageous for you that I should go; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.  (8)  And having come, that One will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.  (9)  Concerning sin, because they do not believe into Me;  (10)  and concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you no longer see Me;  (11)  and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.  (12)  I have yet many things to tell you, but you are not able to bear now.

Some radical grace preachers would break this Bible verse into three parts and argue that the Holy Spirit can only convict the world of sin, the believers of righteousness, and the devil of judgement separately. Generally I have no problem to believe that the Holy Spirit can convict everyone in the world, including the churches and the devils in the world, of sin, judgement, and righteousness. However, if someone would like to go further by saying that the Holy Spirit cannot convict someone in the world or in the churches of sin, righteousness, or judgement, something is wrong. Why do we limit the power and judgement of the Holy Spirit if He is God and He has the full authority of God to judge anyone, anything, and any believer in the world? Again like the people who interpreted the Bible that there is no more law, some preachers has the 'lawless' motive to give the false impression that God cannot judge and convict them. I am not sure if every radical grace preacher has the lawless motive to preach false doctrine when they interpreted John 16:7-12 wrongly. But I am certain that any preacher who has the lawless motives to limit the convicting power of the Holy Spirit is not a God's preacher. He could have conspired with the Lawless One in 2Th 2:5-8 and become the fulfilment of the prophecy, and we should not be shocked to know that the end time will come much earlier than we think.
