Bible Note: I believe Jesus' half brother understood the true meaning of Christ's words you quote. He states at Jude 4,5: "For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered (saved) his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. I ask you to please tell me: Why did he pen these words except to warn against some who would false teachers would mislead people to believe that nothing could change their "saved" status before God? Do not be mislead. Bad associations spoil useful habits. (1 Cor 15:33) |
