To be concerned about attitudes, dispositions, intimidations, motivations, religiosity, evaluations, manipulations, labelings, betrayals, etc. as it relates to human agents who are under the power of the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism will inevitably produce a disabling torment within the human spirit that leads to an estrangement from the will of the Eternal Godhead. The Apostle John, in the fourth chapter of his first epistle uses the symbol of “fear” to describe this disabling torment of the human spirit that translates into a psychological punishment of the one that would be brought into the prehensile tentacles of this spiritual captivity. To the one whose faith (Absolute Concern) rests in the carnality (fragmentations, splits, schisms, divisions of the human spirit) of fallen human agents a tragic fate of a “mutilated spirit” should await them. This “mutilated spirit” is the Apostle James’ “double minded man” who through the fragmentation of his psychological state experiences a precarious reality in his spiritual equilibrium and equanimity. Under normal circumstances this “mutilated spirit” is of grave concern; in the context of faith however, it can bring about deathly manifestations that can be spiritually cataclysmic. Spiritually cataclysmic in human agents because this “mutilated spirit” leads to the deathly dynamic of a “mutilated word” and when this “mutilated word” appears as “gospel” a doctrinal subterfuge of “Cheap Grace” makes its deceptive presentation. Cheap Grace is the apostate preaching that sees the free offer of Christ sacrificial death unto salvation as an option rather than the “Absolute Standard” for which one must earnestly contend. Cheap Grace is the apostate subterfuge that sees the Lord’s holiness as a fear tactic and a subject to be debated rather than an apodictic command (absolute truth expressed as command; e.g. “thou shalt not”) to be obeyed with all gravity. Cheap Grace is: “to skotadi emfanizetai os fos” (greek> “darkness appearing as light”) concerning the matter of the gospel of grace being presented apart from the judgment of the Lord for rejection of this “Magnanimous Divine Offer”. Wherever this “mutilated word” of Cheap Grace is propagated by the false prophetic voices of any genre, a deathly manifestation of an apostate reality should darken the minds of the unregenerate ones. The Apostle Paul addressed this demonic plague when he stated: “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:- Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.- But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed (greek> anathema).- As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed (anathema).” We must understand that the proclamation of this “mutilated word” of “Cheap Grace” is not merely an indication of such a one who “would be” cursed (i.e. a human spirit immersed in a perverse word), but it is a laconic indication of an unregenerate one (disabling torment) actively and presently living in this tormentous reality. In modernity, we have a visible apostate church that is immersed in the tormentous reality of “Cheap Grace”. The proclamation of this “mutilated word” has set within twenty-first century Christendom a horrific reality of living in the spirit of a “strong delusion”. A “mutilated spirit” and living in the cursed spirit of a “strong delusion” are just two of the myriad of “deathly manifestations” that abound when the unregenerate ones set the course of their lives upon the apostate foundation of the “mutilated word” of Cheap Grace. Again, the Apostle Paul truly speaks of the current state of Christendom in the twenty-first century when he propounds: “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.- And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:” The dynamic answer to dismantling this “mutilated word” of Cheap Grace is the proclamation of the kerygmatic gospel or in other words, the true gospel (glad tidings) of the Lord Jesus Christ as spoken through the mouth of His Holy Apostles by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. By this Spirit filled measure will the adherents of this apostate church be converted, healed, and assimilated into the Body Of Christ; that the “true church” should show forth the manifold wisdom of the Lord.
