Antinomianism

  The question is, what is Antinomianism?  The simple answer is, any view which rejects laws or legalism and argues against moral, religious or social norms.  In other words some people could see it as living in the 1960's and 70's with it's restlessness questioning of traditional authority.  But it is much deeper than that.  The opposite of Antinomianism is Legalism.  Being legalistic can blind people to the truths of the Bible because of people adding their manipulative views into it.  Going full circle, Legalism leads to lawlessness.  Antinomianism is just as destructive because of the myth that grace lets you become spontaneous in acting out sin.  Being spontaneous is a myth in itself.  A spontaneous sin is really a hidden desire waiting for the opportunity to act upon it.  Desires just don't happen.  Desires developed over time.  

  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  Because the carnal  mind is enmity against Elohiym: for it is not subject to the Law of Elohiym, neither indeed can it be.  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please Elohiym.  Romans 8:6-9

  The Apostle Paul is speaking out against Antinomianism when he objected strongly to those  insisting on keeping all of the additional Jewish commandments.  We are facing a two front battle between Legalism and Antinomianism.  Of course when you follow Yahusha Hamashia, they want you to disappear.  But if you have a carnal mind, the world manipulates the space they let you have as if they own it.  

  I quote, The term "antinomianism" was coined by Martin Luther during the Reformation, to criticize extreme interpretations of the new Lutheran soteriology

  I'm not opposed to Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone. This is a trinity of believing in Yahusha Hamashia.  Grace disconnected works.  Faith disconnected Priests and so does Scripture.  Luther supported William Tyndale and his translation of the Scripture to English.  Luther spoke against salvation coming through a combination of faith plus good works.   He also opposed  the piece of paper from the Church that was supposed to reduce a person's time in purgatory and help them get to heaven faster.  People say Luther's problem was, how is it possible for a despairing sinner to be welcomed to a wholeheartedly just and almighty Elohiym?  Let's expand the question.  How is it possible for Elohiym to welcome the sinner if Priests added fictional beliefs and  legislation to their teachings?  Sinners need to be born again.  Some say the Assembly of Believers, the Bride of Yahusha was created when the Roman spear went into His side.  Antinomianism is Lawlessness.  Legalism is saying man is god.  It all comes down to one choice.  Who do you serve?  
  
  And if it seems evil to you to serve Yahuah, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve Yahuah.” Joshua 24:15

  At this point I thought I was done with this blog but the Holy Spirit said wait.  So I did wait.  Over the next 24 hours, the Holy Spirit revealed something to me.  It was bringing to things together.  In Genesis 1:2 a Hebrew word translated, was, is also translated, let there be, in verse 1:3.  We also know that the beings called Death and Hell was around before Adam.  I believe the Universe went dark, void a chaotic.  The Abyss created on the first day of creation was for Death and Hell as a prison.  Then Elohiym said, let there be light.  The angels were created that first day.  I believe  antinomianism pre-existed the 7 days of creation.  The Spirit of Lawlessness is what happened to Satan.  His pride in self was an open door into corrupting his wisdom.  Now comes today.  The Spirit of Lawlessness is still at work.  It's also known as the Antichrist Spirit.  

  Nature has an order to it.  Water evaporates and then it rains returning to the lake it came from.  On the way plants would grow and produced seeds.  In a world of lawlessness, the sky would keep the water vapor, not letting it return to the ground below.  All the Plants would burn up.  Volcanos would add to the pollution.  Lightning would strike with no rain.  When it's to late, acid rain would fall leaving no hope for life in a run away greenhouse effect.  
  Satan wants to keep all the glory for himself.  But he stepped aside for Death and Hell when it came to the life of Adam and Eve.  That was the plan.  Adam dead and Satan took control of the Universe.  Continually Satan wants the DNA of Adam eliminated.  He corrupted it to let Death and Hell have it. 

  When we give Yahuah Elohiym the Glory, Life Eternal happens.
