You may have heard of the New Perspective on Paul (NPP) by N. T. Wright. If you haven’t, you can google and find some information. Basically, what it says is that justification is not by faith alone. Therefore, the theory denies that the Reformation is from God but from men. Because of what has happened during the Reformation, we have the Bible in our hands and do not seek to have our sins atoned for every Sunday during the mass. The Reformation freed us from the false worships and idolatry. But what the theory tells us is that the Roman Catholic church was right, and the Reformers were wrong. Therefore, it denies that God has full control over His churches and the world. It is an evil idea. Anyone wise should not even dream of studying such ideas. We do not eat a rotten fish to see if it is really rotten. The smell warns us not to eat it. It appears that Mr. Wright is receiving enough glory and praises from men on the earth. Those who receive much glory on the earth will not receive anything in the coming kingdom even if they claim that they have done something for God.

What I am concerned about is that the Protestant churches are not defending themselves from this evil idea. Those who say they follow the Reformed faith use the two-fold obedience of Christ, the active and the passive, to refute the NPP. Although they claim they are Calvinists, the Active Obedience of Christ (AOC) is from Anselm.

As the Protestant ministers and theologians focused on the Law and a moral life in the 17^th century, the understanding of sanctification changed. Sanctification of a believer is done by God alone. However, they say that it is achieved by men and God. If Calvin had said it, I would say that he spoke a lie in ignorance despite all the good works done by God through him. But I think the idea is from theologians in the 17^th century who wanted their new church to rule the nation and to maintain social and political stability. The result was Oliver Cromwell. John Owen who taught Cromwell had ambition in politics because he did not understand why God separated the civil government from the church. What we call the Reformed faith is not from Calvin but from John Owen and his followers. Therefore, the Reformed churches are wrongly claiming that they follow the Reformed faith when their origin is from the 17^th century England. This wrong understanding of sanctification have the devil a foothold. The two-fold obedience of Christ opened the door to the false understanding of sanctification. It is very absurd that people use the two-fold obedience of Christ to defend themselves from the NPP because the root is the same. People who are used to the Reformed doctrines born in the 17^th century England eventually follow the NPP. It is no coincidence that N. T. Wright is an English man, who has learned theology in England. And he is an Anglican. They still have the king as the head of the church because they are still confused.

Concerning this wrong idea of sanctification, it is still carried by well-known theologians. I once watched a Youtube clip by Michael Horton on sanctification. And I think his ideas are aligned with John Owen. The clip is by the Gospel Coalition (TGC). And it appears that the theologians and ministers in TGC claim themselves the new Calvinists. The new Calvinists are the Owenists or the new Owenists in my opinion. Owen is praised by many Reformed theologians and ministers. Most people do not know the errors of Puritanism. Some Reformed churches draw a line between the Reformed and the Puritan. But they share the same root. I am not given the task but there will be some people chosen by God to take down what John Owen had built. Theology must stay pure from human philosophies that originate from unbelievers.

The greatest error of the theologians in the 17^th century England is that they preached as if everyone could become the elect. Although they said that God saves only His chosen by grace alone, they gave the impression that anyone could be saved on the condition that they know that they are sinners and seek God’s grace (come to church). We do not know how many saints are in the world. There have been many deserters within churches. And we now see their treacherous acts clearly in churches who have abandoned the Reformed faith. Their idea of sanctification is merely going to church on Sundays, participating in church activities, obeying church authorities, etc. You look and see if there are many saints in the world. I do not think so. If there are, they quietly mourn over churches’ treacherous acts. I do not see anyone shouting that churches around the world are evil. The judgment has started with the white horse.

I once talked about a Presbyterian minister who taught me about the redemptive history of Israel in my early 20s. I had a chance to meet him again in 2019. Although God later showed me in my dream that he is His instrument, the minister spoke highly of Plato and Aristotle to my disappointment. I told him that God hates their ideas. In 2018, I came to know that many theologians study Greek philosophies. I wondered if they would enhance my knowledge of God and decided to buy some books. That night God showed me something in my dream. I thought in my dream, ‘What a waste. Why would I spend money on something I will eventually throw away?’ I did not know that it was about my decision to study Greek philosophies. The next morning my mother told me, “Whatever you are about to do, don’t do it. God warned me in my dream.” Then I knew that the same message was given both to me and my mother. God simply does not want us to study Greek philosophies or any human philosophies. There is the Biblical logic flows within the Bible. It is different from men’s ideas. At first, the Presbyterian minister did not like what I told him. But later I heard that he threw away most of theology books that he had. I consider that Anselm and Aquinas heavily relied on human logic and philosophies. Their theology is not for the elect only but for all men. John Owen and likewise theologians also wanted to develop theology for all men. They wanted to change England to a Protestant nation. They needed theology that could convince many people if not all people. All the Reformed theology books I saw have their roots in the 17^th century England when the treachery of Protestant churches started.
