Calvin, Luther, and Wesley called it heresy.
In Paul of Tarsus day the Biblical Greek terms anomia or anomos which are generally translated ” lawlessness” and ” lawless”.
This dangerous heresy is still alive and operating in the church today. We give this demon new names such as religious toleration, post modernism, political correctness, sensitivity,and compromise.
Our children are inundated with antinomianism all day every day by the media, the music, television, magazines, clothing, at school, and at church.
I remember when my youngest child was in the first grade and he wanted to wear shirts with “funny” phrases on them – from the children clothing brand – No Rules. The so-called ”funny” phrases boldly and unashamed undermine the authority of parents, teachers, pastors, government officials, policemen,and every authority to which God has placed over children to teach them and keep them safe. They actually belittled and poked fun at all authority, which we know belongs to God.
I was ridiculed with eye rolls and told by other mom’s that it was no big deal! It was a big deal then and it’s even a bigger deal now!
Sadly, I know several of those mother’s that are now seeing the fruit of planting the seed of NO RULES in their children. It is truly heartbreaking to see the harmful effects of lawlessness.
As the church we are called to intercede for this generation. It is our responsibility to speak life and truth – to teach the children that a life with No Rules will lead them down a dangerous path ending in death.
The marvelous news is Our Heavenly Father loves every person past, present and future so much He offered up His only begotten son that we may know forgiveness, true lasting peace and joy that glorifies and honors Him.
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples
“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I
have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
John 15:8-11
Our Heavenly Father loves us so very much that He offered up His Son on the cross. Jesus paid a very high price that we may be forgiven.
We must not forget foundational principles in God’s Word. Genesis 4
