opposed to fixed or universal.

antinomian
\An`ti*no"mi*an\, n. (Eccl. Hist.) One who maintains that, under the
gospel dispensation, the moral law is of no use or obligation, but that faith

| "There is no alternative but that of theonomy
and autonomy." |
|
Cornelius Van Til |
|
| The issue . . . is between theonomy (God's Law) and
autonomy (self law). Modern autonomous man is aided and abetted in his
apostasy from God by the antinomianism of the church, which, by
denying God's law, has, in theology, politics, education, industry, and
all things else, surrendered the field to the law of the fallen and
godless self, to autonomy. |

"'. . . that He may teach us about His ways
And
that we may walk in His paths.'
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even
the Word of God from Jerusalem." |

Antinomianism/The
Denial of Lordship Salvation, or "Easy Believism"
The Costs of Antinomianism
Hundreds of millions of people murdered.
Billions
of people enslaved.
Trillions of dollars of property confiscated or
destroyed.
In the 20th century alone.
The claim that we are "justified
by belief alone" without any reference to our allegiance
to God's Law and growth
into the stature of the Lord Jesus Christ has had staggering effects on human
society in the last 200 years.
Antinomians are not likely to criticize immorality in others, and the
greatest source of immorality since 1776 has
been the State. People are quick to link "antinomian" and
"anarchy," (Google
Search: antinomian anarchy) but virtually nobody speaks of "antinomian
totalitarianism." The antinomian mindset, however, leads more quickly to
totalitarianism than to libertarianism. In a future essay, we will draw out the
causal links between antinomianism and the
criminal-state.
For now, consider a group of "anarchist" rioters. This state of
violent chaos is not a picture of true anarchy (the absence of an archist),
it is the state of poly-archy, or multi-archy, a group of would-be
archists. The "archist" opposes the Reign of God and seeks to reign in
His place. Both "anarchists" so-called and antinomians oppose the True
Archy, the Reign of God. False "anarchists" want to be archists in
order to impose their new socialist order, and antinomians prefer anything
to God's Government. Would-be archists (dictators) need lots of antinomians to
succeed. In the 20th century, they had an abundant supply.
The 21st century will be a blood-bath if we do not embrace God's Law.

Jesus is the Christ.
The word "Christ" has many meanings. The basic meaning is
"anointed," as in "king" (Matthew
21:5 ), e.g., "King of Israel" (John
1:49). Jesus is also called a "Ruler" (Micah
5:2), a "Potentate" (1
Timothy 6:15 ), a "Governor" (Matthew
2:6 ), a "Captain" (Hebrews
2:10 ), a "Prince" (Isaiah
9:6 ), and many other words (some of which we aren't familiar with in
our day, like "Horn" [Luke
1:69 ]) which are political in
nature.
Many political terms can be inferred:
- Jesus is a "servant," which is another word for
"minister," and Jesus is surely the "Prime
Minister."
- In his inaugural address, George Washington spoke
of "that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides
in the councils of nations." The one who "presides" is the
"president."
- Jesus is our King, our Lawgiver, and our Judge (Isaiah
33:22) -- all three branches of government under the U.S. Constitution.
Our point is that Jesus is the -- THE -- the ONLY --
legitimate king, prince, ruler, president, prime minister, governor, legislator,
judge, and potentate. If we simply practice what we preach -- by obeying His
commandments -- we will have a peaceful, orderly, and prosperous society.
All other earthly kings, princes, rulers, presidents, prime ministers,
governors, legislators, judges, and potentates are illegitimate usurpers and
anti-Christ.
