Contributed on Feb 9, 2026
Jude delivers a full on assault against those who wear the livery of the Faith while denying the authority the Lord has instituted for mankind.
“Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones.

6. The Gospel Of The Flesh
Contributed on Feb 17, 2026
Godliness reveals the presence of Ghrist in an individual's life. When the flesh prevails in a life, people become indistinguishable from unreasoning beasts.
“These people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.” [1] Though man is created in the image of God, man without the Spirit of God is spiritually on a par with brute beasts. Understanding this, ...read more
