“WHY ARE
THEY CALLED D.O.G.S?”
Doctrines Of
Grace
Dear
Reader, there are two types of dogs in
the Bible … and neither get a good report.
“For dogs
(evil men)
have
compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they
pierced my
hands and my feet.” (Psalm 22:16)
And again
those that rip and tear, as that’s what
dogs do, at him as follows:
“Beware of
dogs, beware of evil workers,
beware of the concision.” (Philippians 3:2) describing
them as having confidence in the flesh, that is, those of
works (Ephesians 2:8-9), as opposed to himself with none
(Philippians 3:3).
These are only one subcategory.
The other
subcategory of these concising spiritual
dogs are those of the Doctrines Of Grace believers. These
also deal
with the ‘flesh’, however in a not so obvious way, in that God has to
involuntarily, against an unbeliever’s will, make a man born again
before he
can get saved.
However,
both of these types of dogs of concision
have one aim in mind … and that is to rip and tear at the finished work
of
Christ.
The Doctrine
Of Grace-ists are
the supposedly, and currently, acceptable face of Calvinism … these are
the
subtil, and truly, dangerous D.O.G.S OF CONCISION … and they
come out of
the sewers of Augustinian Rome and through the septic tanks of
Calvinism.
For
starters, the D.O.G.S have God the
Father (number one of the Godhead Romans 1:20), directing God the Holy
spirit (number
three of the Godhead ), to invade the unbeliever in his
supposed Total
Depravity, such that he will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ after
being born again … such that, having been selected before the
foundation of the
world, he is forced, yes forced, to believe of his own free will … he
can do no
less … for he has been selected for this spiritual conveyer
belt whether
he likes it or not.
And here’s
the crime … these D.O.G.S present
Christ as some passive and dormant receptacle into which the unbeliever
is
tipped.
Their
Christ has nothing whatsoever to do with the
whole process … their Christ is the ‘meat’ that has been minced, mixed
with the
herbs and flour, squeezed through a piping machine, packaged into
plastic
containers and placed on the supermarket shelf … and will be bought,
come hail,
rain or shine … by the unbeliever … oh yes … of course … of his own
free will …
and having that forced on him as well. This is called imparted
justification.
This is not
the imputed justification
of Paul found in Romans chapters three and four.
These
subtil D.O.G.S (Genesis 3:1) are the
true ripping and tearing concisers at the simul iustus et peccator
…
simultaneously justified yet still a sinner … that is … declared
righteous, not made righteous, but still a sinner. As Luther
said “All
is lost if this is lost.”

Yes, Dear Reader, the local pub was the place where one supposedly got the common man’s verdict on a variety of subjects … and this is called The Pub Test.
