Antinomian error is another name for The Mystery of Iniquity or The Mystery of Lawlessness. It depends heavily on selective interpretation of Romans and Galatians that pulls scripture out of context, context which would easily refute any misinterpretation. Also the per-versions of scripture, the new translations, or as I like to call them, THE TOWER OF BIBLE (the Confusion of Tongues) are made by antinomians who oppose YHWH's Torah. It is no surprise then, that those who read these works of error often acquire an anti-Torah attitude. The following is an actual written example of an exchange with an end-time antinomian.
Dear (Antinomian):Many times you have not ackowledged what I do believe. I understand that you must portray me in the worst possible light because I reject your antinomian position. I have told you that: a) salvation is by faith, not of works: b) anyone who seeks to establish their own righteousness is a fraud c) the Torah is still in effect; d) those who are truly 'led by the spirit' are not under the law. You, on the other hand, present a law of the spirit that has no relationship with the Torah. You maintain that the righteous desire of one's heart to obey the Father's will, is earning one's salvation; that once we have received the Ruach haKodesh, the Torah has no more relevance to believers in Yeshua.
I noticed, too, that you ignore the comment I gave you about the antinomian bible you quote. The NIV and other per-versions oppose the Torah, as do numerous reference books. The KJV is notoriously anti-Sabbath, as are the works of Strong, Gesenius, and Young. The NIV, NASB, NKJV, TEV, BEV, CEV, TLB, NRSV, and many more, are based on the same corrupted Greek text that the Jehovah Witness New Testament is, Nestle-Alland. Your usage of scripture is not led by the spirit of YHWH, as you suppose. Your selective use of faulty translations can create a picture that condemns all those with whom you disagree; but I would liken your practice of such, to throwing stones at them. While you would allege that it is the word that condemns them and not you, your responses convey the impression that you are seeking to cover up your nakedness, that you have for a long time hid behind twisted scriptures because of your antinomian sentiment (and perhaps, lifestyle).
(You wrote:) Thank you again for replying. I would like to share something I found the other day. I believe that the Bible is true. These verses are found in the NEW Testament. Matthew 5:17-18
(me) I have already quoted this in a previous post, you imply that I oppose it, which I do not.
(you) RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH NOT LAW Romans 3:21-24
(me) I agree(you) DIED TO THE LAW, RELEASED FROM THE LAW Romans 7:4-6
(me) The Torah is NOT the ‘Law of sin and Death’. Romans 7:4-8
Romans 7:7-8 What shall we say then? Is the Torah sin? By no means! Nay, I had not known sin, but by the Torah: for I had not known covetousness, except the Torah had said,Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the Torah sin was dead.
(you) MESSIAH IS THE END OF THE LAW Romans 10:3-4
(me) Messiah is the goal or purpose of the Torah, and not its cessation Romans 10:3-4.
Matttyahu 5:17 "Think not that I am come to do away with the Torah or the Neviim; I am not come to do away with but to fulfil."
Last time I checked, fulfilled still does not mean do away with.
(you) THE LAW THAT WAS WRITTEN IN STONE FADED AWAY 2nd Cor. 3:7-11
(me) The glory that was on the face of Mosheh faded away, not the Torah 2nd Cor. 3:7-11
Mattityahu 5:18 "Awmein, I say unto you, Until heaven and earth pass (away), not one yod (jot), nor one tagin (tittle) shall in no wise pass from the Torah, until ALL be fulfilled."
(you) THE LAW CALLED WEAK AND MISERABLE PRINCIPLES Galatians 4:8-10
(me) Pagan practices called weak and beggarly elements; not the Torah Galatians 4:8-10
(you) LAW ABOLISHED IN CHRIST’S FLESH Ephesians 2:14-16
(me) The enmity was abolished; not the Torah Ephesians 2:14-16
(you) RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES BY FAITH NOT LAW Phillipians 3:9-10
(me) You deliberately misrepresent me as opposing this, which I do not.
(you) LAW CANCELED Colossian 2:14-16
(me) The arraignment charges that were against you were dropped (if you are not lawless), But the Law was not thrown out Colossians 2:14-16
(you) LAW CHANGED Hebrews 7:12
(me) The Torah is not for personal salvation , but Messianic Israelites still have Levitical priests.
Hebrews 7:5 And verily they that ARE of the sons of Levi the of, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Torah, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
(you) LAW WEAK AND USELESS Hebrews 7:18-19
(me) The Torah leads us to Messiah Galatians 3:24
PSALM 19:7-11 The Torah of YHWH is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of YHWH is sure, making wise the simple.The statutes of YHWH are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of YHWH is pure, enlightening the eyes.The fear of YHWH is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of YHWH are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in the keeping of them there is great reward.
(you) OLD COVENANT OUT, NEW COVENANT IN Hebrews 8:7-8
(me) Covenants are eternal and once they are made, they are in force until death or a new earth.
Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
(you) LAW OF MOSES OBSOLETE Hebrews 8:13
(me) The Greek word translated obsolete means antiquated.Hebrews 8:13 Do you throw away your antiques? If you had the Ark of the Covenant, would you throw it away as obsolete? Hypocrite!
(you) LAW ONLY A SHADOW Hebrews 10:1
(me) Real things make shadows; common sense, If you were really His, you would have His 'shadow', not an antinomian spirit.
(you) LAW SET ASIDE Hebrews 10:9
(me) Look up the word 'set aside' (take away); it means to murder Hebrews 10:9 Do you believe that Yeshua murdered the Torah?????????? NO! He was murdered that the covenant in his blood might be established.
(you) NOT UNDER LAW BUT GRACE Romans 6:15 “What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!”
(me) Agreed , but do not forget:
1st Yochanan 3:4 Sin is transgression against the Torah!
(you-stone throwing on a public forum) BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS 1st Tim 5:6-7
(me) FALSE TEACHERS TEACH LAWLESSNESS
2nd Pehter 2:1-2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying YHWH that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2:9-13 YHWH knows how to deliver the Sabbath-observant out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas messengers, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before YHWH. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
2:19-22 While they promise them liberty, (but) they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the YHWH and Saviour the Messiah, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from THE SET-APART COMMANDMENT delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them, according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Matthew 7:15-23 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Rabbi, Rabbi, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven Many will say to me in that day, Rabbi, Rabbi, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work LAWLESSNESS."
(you) I know, that the Law is dead to me, but not everyone. I hope that this explains my viewpoint a little better, and you are right, this doctrine is not for you, as yours is not for me.
(me) You are so right, you are on the side of LAWLESSNESS! (And leading the simple astray!) Scripture teaches that we become dead to the Law of Sin and Death. Not that Torah becomes dead to us.
Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of the Messiah; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto YHWH.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3-8 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (Gr. apostasian; a standing away from; divorce) first, and that man of sin (Torah transgression) be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Elohim (YHWH's commandments), or that is sabbath-related; so that he as elohim sits in the temple of Elohim, shewing himself that he is Elohim (see Isaiah 14:12-15). Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what SUPPRESSES (i.e. the truth) that he might be revealed in his time. For THE MYSTERY of LAWLESSNESS doth already work: only he who now SUPPRESSES (truth), will (continue to) SUPPRESS (truth), until he (the son of perdition) be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked (one) be revealed, whom YHWH shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming.
