NASB | Jude 1:4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Jude 1:4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed [just as if they were sneaking in by a side door]. They are ungodly persons whose condemnation was predicted long ago, for they distort the grace of our God into decadence and immoral freedom [viewing it as an opportunity to do whatever they want], and deny and disown our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. |
Subject: Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood |
Bible Note: By the way, I am not grieving for my Church. It's not perfect, and it never will be. This is not the first time the Catholic Church has had any issues and it won't be the last. Remember on the night in which Jesus ordained the 12 Apostles into the priesthood - Judas betrayed Him and Peter denied Him three times. Our current issues are a piece of cake compared to that first day. Brian |
