This is the second article discussing the topic of \u201canarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our first article discussed how anarchy\u2019s character and cunning seeks to invade and infect the local congregation and replace God\u2019s Inspired Rule of Law with a self-will governing. This can be either a BINDING self-willed governing denying Christians the liberty they have in the Lord or it can be a PROGRESSIVE liberty that denies God’s boundaries.<\/p>\n
This sobering reality struck the Thessalonian congregation and continues to seek to compromise and degrade the local congregations of God\u2019s Church today.<\/p>\n
In this second part of the discussion we look at how the local congregations are commanded by Inspiration to resist and judge those seeking to replace God\u2019s Rule of Law with their self-will anarchy. The focus is on Inspiration\u2019s commands in 2 John 9-11.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first article discussed how the Destructionists have caused chaos and a \u201creign of terror\u201d in society, governments, civility, religious institutions and even in the Lord\u2019s Church. This devilish destruction is led by those who are governed by anarchy\u2014they respect no laws and honor no boundaries\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe focus of the Destructionist is that of a person determined to \u2018deconstruct\u2019 the existing framework that sets boundaries for acceptable and unacceptable behavior and beliefs and \u2018reconstruct\u2019 the beliefs and organization.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe anecdotal evidence of the Destructionist in civil issues is evident in history\u2019s darkest pages. \u201cThe anecdotal evidence of the Destructionist in spiritual issues is tragically repeated throughout civilization\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cSadly, there have always been those who refused to honor God\u2019s spiritual boundaries and conform to God\u2019s spiritual commands. Their damnable heresies have constantly split, splintered and divided the Lord\u2019s People. The term \u201cheresy\u201d often connotes the idea of a doctrine that flagrantly violates God\u2019s revealed doctrines. But the Greek term from which we get the word \u2018heresy\u2019 describes an action that is different from the generally held connotation. This actual meaning is critical to our present discussion\u2026”<\/p>\n
