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. |
Bible Question:
The Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/catholicscandal.htm What did you think of this sermon? |
Bible Answer: I have to agree with Emmaus on this one. I know John MacArthurs strong stand against the Catholic church and I think I understand it, but this seems a little off. The Catholic church is not alone in this, there are many protestant churches and Christian day cares facing similar situations. I know in many churches pastoral failures are often covered up(adultery, embezzlement, pornography and such) although in every case of pedophilia that I know of has been reported and prosecuted. I most certainly agree with Reformer Joe that posting the whole thing was totally uncalled for. EdB |
