Jude Chapter 1 Discussion Page 7

Faith is so important to make it through these last days. God warned that things would advance from bad to worse. Sometimes this can affect us, to the point where we lose hope. This scripture encourages me to continue building my faith! Faith in Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ will be what helps us to keep our integrity as we wait for God to fully take control!

Elijah

Jehovah God constantly tells us to build our faith. This verse helps us to see why. Our faith is going to sustain us as we wait patiently for God to fulfill his promise to the Earth. Strong faith will help us to live a happy and satisfying life while we wait for the REAL life to come.

I I love verse 20 and 21 where Jude is calling us to build our faith in the Lord and pray in the Holy Ghost besides living in the love of God and looking for His mercy always.

"Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities...And of some have compassion, making a difference:and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;" It is very difficult NOT to be furious and hate some wicked kinds of people; but we have a commandment from God, and His Spirit to help us; and we don't let feelings direct our character.

V22 defines compassion. It is not sentimentality, sympathy or pity. Genuine compassion makes a difference to the one it is directed towards. Sometimes we are not in a position to make a difference practically, yet we Christians are never helpless, because we can always pray and intercede. Prayer for others is compassion in action, and it always makes a difference.

To Wayne - From where did you get idea I was 'against' the father, son and H. G.?

Irene, what do you have against Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?

H, Please allow me to explain a few things to you, which should help you to understand the truth about what happened leading up to the destruction of the world of the begining. First of all, the sons of God have always been the Elect, the Saints, to whom the Word of God came; of the lineage of Seth. What happened was a great apostasy. Angels are spirits, and not flesh; and CANNOT breed with women.

The sons of God in this text in Jude refers to the fallen angels. They left their habitation and took themselves wives as they wanted. Just as it was in the days of Noah in the first earth age. The offspring are the same giants which are spoken of in Geneses 6:4.

Occasionally I think back to my young days and attending Church with my parents and saying the doxology, "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow ..... "; it always ended, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I looked it up and now it ends, "Creator, Christ and spirit, One." I guess they changed it in the new century, it doesn't say. At least they've got the ONE in there.

The canon of the KJV was set by GOD; it is HIS book, after all. Anyone who wants to read the apocrypha can do so; it's in other books; so why complain about it ..... ? You still have your freedom to read the apocrypha. God will keep His book, the KJV, the way He wants it.

Man may be bribed and compromise his ethic and moral. But GOD does not change. Just because man accepts wrong for right does not mean GOD will change HIS word. Man will soon find that out. Man acceptance is not GOD's acceptance. HE will punish unrighteousness. HE will show up suddenly and man won't be prepared because HE can't prepare for what is coming upon the earth. HE won't compromise.

I love the book of Jude. It is so reverent, to what is going on today. Everyone should study this book, and take heed to it IN JESUS NAME!

To word - The "sons of god" wee the HUMANS on earth that believed in God, but sinned in that they took wives of other people who did not believe in God. Angels are spirits - sexless, not physical; cannot reproduce.

I think of the book of Enoch when I read Jude, and how the wolves (scribes and pharisees along with others due to satan's influence) took this book as well as thousands of other book out of our canon. For anyone who reads their bible and knows it inside out it is easy to pick out all the quotes and references there are in the new testament from the apocrypha books. God Bless all with wisdom. Amen

Tender is our body here. One degree of temp change spells sickness. Jude tells of our soul being tender here. Our testimonies amazing yet not overshadowing Jesus' life. Sin in the world abounds we must keep our soul from exposure. Our desires in the world must not drive us. Even sinners, only receiving an indirect statement that God dislikes it. We cannot be the judge yet we have God's wisdom.

a book of divine warnings against falling away from the faith. very sobering. we have to stay in the love of god or face divine judgement.

All praise to the almighty father above! AMEN

Where basically Isaiah is the entire Bible rolled into one book, Jude is the truth about the enemy from day one and his OFFSPRING rolled into one chapter. Alot of info in a tight space that should lead man to truth where fables run rampant. It's sort of a " touch up" clarifying myths. It'll lead you on a long long study of the devil's children n how they're still around. Important today surely.

All praise and glory to God our Father, Amen!

Amen! Praise the Lord, now and forever!

I am facing an aniexty problem right now but with the trust in God I will overcome it . May God Bless !

God is the only wise God : We can get the wisdom we need from Him and Him alone : He is full of majesty , dominion and power both now and forever. Can't ask for a better God beside Him : There is none else !!!

It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

God bless you more........

GODD the greatest of all

Tequan or anyone else, yes Enoch is mentioned however as a fairly new believer where in the bible is there any prophesies written by Enoch. I only can see that others mention anything about him nothing else?

2 Corinthians 2: 9-10. But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit.
