1 | How do we "contend for the faith"? | Jude 1:3 | Aixen7z4 | 96933 | ||
How do you "contend for the faith"? Jude says that it is an urgent necessity. The need comes up when a new doctrine when a new doctrine comes along that is contrary to what we have received in scripture. In context, Jude is noting the doctrine that the grace of God allows us to lead immoral lives. It seems that paul had been accused of teaching this and he had made it clear (Romans 6) that they had misquoted him. On the contrary he had taught that the grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness (Titus 2). But now that doctrine was being preached and the church was to contend for the faith, apparently to keep such doctrines out. It may be fair to say that other false doctrines have come into the church since that time. So we may be called to contend for the faith again. Since "the servant of the Lord must not strive" (2 Tim 2;24) then how do we do it? How do we contend for the faith? |

This verse and subject have been discussed ... Look at the other strings for this verse. Whether it is new doctrine (trends) or old doctrine (tradition), it can tell something other than the truth (Scepter) ... therefore trashing the truth. If tradition is wrong, it must be corrected. |
