This blog is my personal blog. All views and articles expressed and written here are solely my own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of my church or denomination or anyone else. Most posts are written for my own personal edification, and are not written in response to any external situation, unless otherwise and explicitly stated. Nobody should be reading into them anything other than what is explicitly stated, unless otherwise confirmed by me in writing.
Evangelist Tony Miano (The Lawman Chronicles) has coined a neologism "Pasphilanthropianism", from the Greek pas = all, phileo = love, anthropos = man, probably literally meaning "all-loving-man-centeredness" (?). This is the official meaning of the word according to its author
Pasphilanthropianism: the worship of a false god that is "All-Loving" and "All-Forgiving."
This is my blog, and in order to facilitate an edifying exchange, I have came up with various blog rules. Please do read them before commenting, as failure to abide by them would make your post liable to being unapproved for publication. Violation of any of the rules three or more times, or at the blog owner's judgment, would make one liable to be banned from posting unless the blog owner (me) is satisfied that such behavior would not occur again.
This has probably consumed almost all of modern day Christianity such that anyone who says that God does not love those predestined to hell (reprobates) are seen as being wierd( at best), heretical or even blasphemous (at worst).

I've come across quite a few of these Pasphilanthropians. Now I have some ammo to reply.

I have preached this message for years, and I still get people who say I portray God as too "harsh."
ReplyDeleteGod is not harsh, he is very loving and very forgiving. But he is also a just God; One who does not waver back and forth.
He has already written the Law - and the Law simply says, "Obey or be punished." He wants us to obey Him, and in return, He opens up His heavenly home to us, forever!
@Pastor Bruce:
ReplyDeleteyour words seems to be misleading.
Obedience is the evidence or salvation (Eph. 2:10), not the pre-requisite for it (Eph. 2:8-9).
Without obedience, there is no salvation. And that is what God wants ... for us to be obedient to His law, through Jesus Christ. Is that not correct?
ReplyDelete.... let me please add that I do not preach "works", but preach a willing obedience through Jesus as our Christ.
ReplyDeleteWe are saved through Grace, and not by our works. Let that stand to correct any doubts as to my original post.
@Pastor Bruce:
ReplyDeletewith or without obedience, there is no salvation apart from faith (Rom. 3: 19-28).
Obedience that comes through faith is what God calls us to, but this is not meritorious (Lk. 17:10). It does not save us, but shows that we are saved (Rom. 6:12-14)
@Pastor Bruce:
ReplyDeletewell, indeed we are saved by grace, and I am glad you believe that.
Yet we must be careful here and say that works are not meritorious for our salvation (post-salvation merit). Works are always evidences not strictly a condition.
