Any ministry that indirectly shames, guilts, or condemns its followers, for their turning away from sin in repentance, is not concerned for their well-being on earth, or after their appointed time on earth (Hebrews 9:27-28).
This is the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:9-21), not the ministry of seared consciences (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
We understand that Christ is the righteousness that the Mosaic law could never bring in regard to justification, however, any message hinting to the effect that we should be complacent in turning away from sin is another Gospel.
Here Paul is addressing the harassment and heckling of the Judaizers...He's not addressing the ongoing process of repentance. Repentance is not some unnatural and foreign doctrine. It's integral to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
'Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ' Galatians 1:1-10 (KJV)
'Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead' Acts 17:29-31 (KJV)
'There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death' Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
