Lol. I was raised in “church”. See Jude 4, grace was turned into licentiousness. In truth, however, we get set free from sin and are made godly, as it is written: “He who does what is right is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil.” Truth.
It’s always been about our hearts and conduct and that’s what the real Jesus came to change. He didn’t come to forgive us, He came to liberate us and teach us to do the will of the Father in all things, as He did.
I hope that antichrists can come to understand grace before it is too late.

Lol. You can't hear the Word of God:
See Jude 4, grace was turned into licentiousness. In truth, however, we get set free from sin and are made godly, as it is written: “He who does what is right is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil.” Truth.
It’s always been about our hearts and conduct and that’s what the real Jesus came to change. He didn’t come to merely forgive us, He came to liberate us and teach us to do the will of the Father in all things, as He did.
It's the Good News of the Kingdom, or government, of God. Hallelujah!!! Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Isn't it God's grace to not live in sin anymore, rather than it being God's grace that we can?
"11For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age" - Titus 2:11-12
Why do so many people see the grace of God as being able to not live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age instead of what the Bible says is God's grace in this life?

Instead of depending on one's own righteousness, depend on Christ's righteousness and his grace. It is resting in the security of salvation through faith in Jesus and resting in God's love and acceptance verses needing to earn/keep salvation or seeking to be good to be accepted.
For me part of what rest would look like is not having to have all my questions answered, trusting God loves me and will take care of me and trusting God with worries/cares/fears because he cares about me and is a whole lot wiser than I, so he can handle it.

Any teaching that says grace makes it so we can use our freedom in Christ to indulge the flesh is making grace a license to sin.
13You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh a ; rather, serve one another humbly in love." - Galatians 5:13
The concept of grace is not that it gives us the freedom to sin, as the new osas teaches, but rather that grace makes it so we can, and should, resist the flesh and love others in obedience to God instead.

That's saying grace is a license to sin.
The Bible says that is a perversion of grace (Jude 1:4).
The Bible actually says that grace was given to us so we won't sin.
That's the un-perverted grace of God.
At least the old osas didn't make sin a license to sin.
It said if you're living unchanged in sin you simply aren't saved to begin with.
How did the Reformed movement go from living in sin being the sign that you were never saved to begin with to living in sin not having any relationship to salvation whatsoever?
At least that part of the old osas was correct, because that's exactly what the Bible says.
But this new osas belief, it directly violates the old osas belief about living in sin and unbelief.
That's why I'm surprised no old style osas believer will challenge the new osas.
