Contending for the Faith. Este artículo no está disponible.Contending for the Faith

The epistle of Jude is twenty-five verses of inspired Words from God calling the faithful to "earnestly contend for the faith." In faithful contending, they are to confront the ever increasing religious apostasy and doctrinal compromise that is corrupting the true "body" of Jesus Christ thereby creating a hideous and antichrist monster of immense proportions and distortions of "the faith." This monster of apostasy is almost unrecognizable to doctrines of "the faith" defined in the sixty-six books of inspired Scripture. What calls itself Christianity in modern times compared to Biblical Christianity is as different as goats are to sheep. The intent of the studies in the epistle of Jude is to be able to discern between goats and sheep and to "contend for the faith" to help the goats be transformed into sheep. The herd of goats is ever increasing, while the sheep are rapidly being devoured by the wolves being allowed to enter into the church and buffet on the helpless sheep. The Epistle of Jude gives instruction to the sheep on how to doctrinally contend against the wolves and not be their lunch.
