The only acceptable fear is fear of the Lord. Any other fear is, inherently, blasphemy. For anything else involving sin, I highly recommend listening to this, or reading the transcript. Someone linked it earlier today, and man, it was exactly what I needed to hear today, regarding the nature of sin and forgiveness: https://stone-choir.com/all-sins-are-not-equal/
I’m not quite sure where your comment was placing my statements at, as that was the exact thing I said I feared, but they have a link to “Antinomianism” there, and that’s likely a much better term for what I’ve been referring to with “Dispensationalism”.
I have been trying to wake Christians up to that, and slowly, because as we have seen, people do not like waking up.
Will listen to the podcast before commenting any further.
Edit:
They hit on something that I was writing before deciding to listen to the podcast (actually, it was the entire response). I’ll go ahead and add that:
I believe in forgiveness of sin, and that sin must be repented of, and as I noted, mine has not been put away. Without repentance, there cannot be “forgiveness” of sin, only “tolerance”.
There are differences in scripture between intentional and unintentional sins. Unintentional sins were what was atoned for through the sacrificial system at the temples and synagogues. They were imperfect, and thus had to be repeated constantly for any unintentional sins. These sacrifices seem to be what were fulfilled on the cross, as well as an exemplar of how the law was to be followed, which had been strayed from as significantly as we have strayed from the constitution.
There was no sacrificial system for intentional sins, which we today treat quite casually, to what may eventually be our great dismay.
Every one of us should behave with appropriate fear that we show up and find out that Matthew 8:11-12 was talking about ME.
What do I fear? I fear that, and I pray that my intentional sins might also find some degree of grace before the throne.
Modern pastors should be HORRIFIED.
Hebrews 10:26-29
