The Book of Jude - Verse by Verse 5 thru 11 (Need to Warn About False Teachers)

Because this passage has some controversial content, it is often missed that Jude has much more in mind than what is a modern dispute of doctrine. Beyond what people want to make of Jude verse 6 and its likely relationship to Genesis 6, Giants, (Nephilim) etc. Jude is warning the church of evil men infiltrating their assembly.

These people, with whom Jude is concerned, have come into the churches with their destructive teaching. Based on what Jude is saying, by historical examples, and his assessment of them, they will corrupt people through sensual matters as were done in times past. Some of his examples are difficult to fully understand, since the history in question leaves a couple of different interpretations, as we examine in this study.

What cannot get lost in this is what he says in verse 3, which carries the rest of the letter. There is a genuine faith (beliefs) that are enshrined in God's word. Any new thing or belief people want to add is to be dismissed, since anything new is not the once-for-all Word of God. We, the church in general, are to contend earnestly for that truth. It is on us to do so, and that implies that we must know what we believe and why.
