wolf warning! lawlessness is NOT Christianity...

For I know this, that after my departing
shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. ...

"The Gospel, like its blessed Master, is always crucified between two thieves --
legalist of all sorts on the one hand and Antinomians on the other; the former robbing the Saviour of the
glory of his work for us, and the other robbing him of the glory of his work within us." -
James Henley Thornwell - Antinomianism

"The black devil of antinomianism is just
as wicked and destructive as the white devil of legalism." (Charles Spurgeon)
"But some may ask, "Has not the Law been fully abrogated by the coming
of Christ into the world? Would you bring us under that heavy yoke of bondage which none has ever been able to bear?
Does not the New Testament expressly declare that we are not under the Law, but under Grace; that Christ was made
under the Law to free His people therefrom? Is not an attempt to overawe men’s conscience by the authority of the
Decalogue (ten commandments) a legalistic imposition, altogether at variance with that Christian liberty which the
Savior has brought in by His obedience unto death?" We answer thus: So far from the Law being abolished by the
coming of Christ into this world, He Himself emphatically stated, "Think not that I am come to destroy the
Law or the Prophets (the enforcers thereof): I am come not to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled"
(Matthew 5:17, 18) . True, the Christian is not under the Law as a Covenant of Works nor as a ministration of
condemnation, but he is under it as a rule of life and a means of sanctification."
(A.W. Pink - The Ten Commandments)
