https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 4 * BOOK 58 JUDE - PART 2 We’re just teach verse by verse, - I don’t claim to have all the answers. I don’t mind if somebody disagrees, if you can do it Scripturally. (Romans 15:8) (I Corinthians 15:1-4) Okay, so now then back in Jude, verse 10, we’re still dealing with the constant reminder to beware of false teaching. Contend for the faith. Jude 1:10a I Corinthians 2:13-14 "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Alright, back to Jude. So these false teachers they know nothing of the Truth of the Word of God. If animals could talk, they could almost converse with them. Jude 1:10-11a We’re talking about these false teachers who act as they know something and spiritually they know nothing, because they have not the indwelling, teaching power of the Holy Spirit. Jude 1:11b My, what happened to old Cain? And you’ve heard me say it a hundred times. Eve at this time has the two boys, Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:2b "…Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground." Genesis 4:3a "In the process of time…" In other words, after a time of instruction. God never leaves the human race ignorant of His design. Did God wait until after they ate of the tree and then said, "Hey, wait, wait, wait. Well the same way here. Genesis 4:3 "And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground as offering unto the LORD." (Hebrews 9:22b) Surely God will accept me. Oh, if I join the church, if I give, if I do this or if I do that, God will be pleased. When you believe for salvation, it means you put your total, eternal destiny in God’s hands by simply believing the work of the cross. Well, see, that’s salvation, that’s faith. God gave the instructions to both these fellas. I work in the church. Surely God will accept me.’ Hebrews chapter l1 verse 4, and I have to hammer this home. Hebrews 11:4a "By faith (by believing what God told him to do) Abel offered unto God a more excellent (or a better) sacrifice than Cain,…" Abel did what God told him to do and consequently it was a better sacrifice than that bloodless thing that Cain brought, whatever it was, we don’t know. But it was not an animal sacrifice. And so then the rest of the verse says, and when Abel offered what God told him to offer Hebrews 11:4b Now maybe Cain was a better man than Abel, we don’t know. But that’s moot because Abel came into that place of righteous, right standing with God because of his faith. Hebrews 9:22b Now up until the cross, it took animal’s blood to cover sins. That’s what God required. Had to be or God wouldn’t accept it. Come back earlier in chapter 9, starting at verse 11. Hebrews 9:11 Christ didn’t approach the holy of holies with: Hebrews 9:12-14 How much more,(see?) shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" We believe what God has said, it’s that simple. And Cain couldn’t. Alright now then back to Jude and we’ve got another Old Testament analogy. It all falls in place. So now then, we’ve seen the lesson from Cain. The next on is old Balaam. What was Balaam’s big problem? "If I can cause Israel to sin against her God, then God will take care of them and He’ll destroy them." Remember? And so old king Balack goes out to the east and brings in this hireling prophet Balaam, with the distinct purpose of causing Israel to sin so miserably that God would destroy them. But see, what Balaam had no comprehension of was the grace of Israel’s God. And even though God would deal with Israel when they failed, yet His promises were such that He would never let Israel disappear from the scene. God works on a higher moral plane than any human person could ever imagine. And it’s the same way with believers today, there are probably a lot of believers that mankind would say, "Well why doesn’t God punish them?" Well you let God take care of it in His own way, cause He doesn’t deal like humans do, thank goodness! What did old Core start griping about? You don’t dare usurp God’s men of authority such as Moses and Aaron. Well, these false teachers don’t know that. They don’t know how God operates. Jude 1:12b "…spots in your feasts…" What were these Jewish believers still practicing? Alright so he says: Jude 1:12a Total disappointment. Well, that’s what these false teachers are. It’s all false. Jude 1:12b Well, that’s false teachers. Jude 1:13a Is that foam pretty? Well, that’s what these false teachers are. Jude 1:13b Eternal doom! Alright now verse 14 and imagine our time is going to be gone again. Jude 1:14 #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
