2. Who has true humility ? Sound doctrine vs Radical grace

There were countless of Christians who were thrown into the lion dens during the Romans empire's time. Were they faithless because they were not delivered like Daniel ? Were they less favored because they did not confess the righteousness of God or prosperity ? Did the Roman Emperor, Nero, become a curse to them because they have less faith ? Was Nero sent to torment them because they did not believe in a good God or in God of radical favor ? Do you think that they would escape death if they had made the righteousness confession or the right confession similar to ours ?

Can people accept it when some pastors were eaten by the headhunters ? If you think that nothing as tragic as this can happen to any of us today because we are the Benjamin generation or the New Covenant believers, I have more questions. Why Stephen, a NT believer, could be stoned to death (Acts 6 & 7) ? Did he love and choose to die in such a tragic death ? Was he faithless ? Of course not. We must tell people the right perspective. We don't tell people to choose to die or choose death, poverty, or suffering. But when we need to choose between God's values and men's values, we must know what to do based on the teaching of Christ.

"Lawless radical grace" is not the pure grace we normally believe for salvation. Instead it is something that is radically and beautifully preached to give sinners and believers the false impression that Christianity has no more laws and hence it has more 'freedom' and more prosperity for them as compared with the traditional Christianity. Many preachers have started to preach this grace radically or just the radical grace. Peter Youngren, Joseph Prince, Åge Åleskjær ... etc, they preached 'Destined to reign' ? no more laws ? no more future sins ? no confession of sins ? Repentance is just believing only ? Repentance has no mentioning of sins ? Paul is a grace preacher, not a repentance preacher ? Cast out the bondwomen means cast out all God's laws ?

Non-believers would receive these messages because they are untrained in Bible knowledge. They are as ignorant as Nicodemus who did not know repentance or the re-birth of their spirit through the dying of self or repentance, commonly known as being born again. Jesus knew that the Pharisees would have difficulty to understand the re-birth or born again experience (John 2:1-21, Matt 3:7-11)

I believe in sound doctrine. One of the ways to promote sound doctrine is to identity any radical or controversial doctrine. It should be followed by an honest and open discussion of it without hypocrisy. Hence, genuine short comments on the title are welcomed, if possible with supporting Bible references please.
