This was also not some random error by Prince. This is his formal doctrine. He presents the exact same argument in his book, "Destined to Reign." In his defense of this position he also states:
"The more entangled you get with the law, the more the law will stir up sin in you." - Page 268, Destined To Reign
What in the world are you babbling about? Our human nature stirs up sin in us - period. Even though we are supposed to be a new creation in Christ we still live in our flesh and all have fallen short of the glory of God. The law shows us our sin! That is not a bad thing - it is a good thing. It shows us where we fall short and need to repent! It does not stir up sin in us. That is absurd but again, this is the end result of approaching the Bible to support your own determined view. God is muzzled in favor of hyper-grace.
Some believe Prince is simply someone with a fantastic revelation of grace but with some error in his teaching. The fruit simply does not support that notion. The fact is that his "divine revelation" appear to be carnal. If the ancillary revelation is carnal, I am willing to bet the primary one is too. An error is simply a mistake but false teaching is unrepentant error. These wrongs have been pointed out to Mr. Prince by far bigger names than I, yet he sticks with what he believes and believes he is right. By doing so he has left the realm of error and moved into false teaching.
So what is the big deal some ask? Don't we need a revelation of the grace of God? No, I really do not think that we do. When I look out on American Christendom I do not see a body that is over burdened with the law. I do not see a body struggling to earn their salvation through works. I see the opposite. I see the Church at Laodicea. I see a fat bloated church that thinks everything is OK. That has the gall to preach about earthly prosperity when we are supposed to be pilgrims and sojourners. That has the gall to teach self help when we can't help ourselves at all. I do not see churches preaching the blood, sin, repentance, or any topics that might even brush vaguely against the law. No, instead I see that this is your best life now and five steps to a better you. I see the marketing of the blessings of God in exchange for money. I see Joesph Prince and hyper-grace selling ignorance to the law and kumbya Christianity that saves very few people.
Jesus holds the keys to the doors of whatever blessing you need. And when He opens a door for you, no one and nothing can shut it!
"Under grace, God is the blesser and you, the blessed. Can you simply take your place?"
Cease from your toilsome labor and let God take over. He wants to bless you supernaturally and abundantly!
