Jude Letter To Jesus

Decent Essays
Jude wanted to write about the Salvation of Jesus, but instead he felt that he must warn them about the circulating false teachers against God. These immoral men would try to manipulate believers by making them believe that if they believe in God, then they would be permitted to sin without restrictions. People were led to believe that they were saved by God’s grace; he wouldn’t hold their sins against them.

The recipients that Jude addressed this letter are very general. He described them to be “those who are called, beloved in God he Father and kept safe for Jesus Christ” (Bible). Saying that, we would tend to believe that it is meant for all Christians, but since the purpose of the letter is to warn the ambitions of the false teachers,

    He then gives a short summary of what the theme of his letter was “The Gospel…. The power of God for redemption to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith” (1:16-17). Paul than starts talking about the state of humanity before redemption through of the faith of God. He explains how the Gentiles looked up to idols, having devotion for God, and how Jews failed to follow the law correctly, acting in a way that is not appropriate to the Jewish ideals, which means they are committing a sin.…

    Paul and his Undisputed Letters In Paul’s Undisputed Letters, Paul is talking to a group of people that aren’t clearly identified. Through context clues and identifying the characteristics of each group that he could be talking to, it is easy to decipher whom he is referring to. The Gentiles are a group of people who worship many gods, are not descendants of Abraham, are not circumcised, and do not follow the Law of Moses. The Jews are a group of people who are monotheistic, descendants of Abraham, circumcised, follow the Law of Moses, and also do their worshipping in a temple.…

    Docetism In Jesus

    It is interesting concept that the four Gospels delineate the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, with little attention giving to his life and development as a leader. Matthew and Luke’s Gospels trace Jesus’ genealogy. In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus is introduced as a grown man whereas John focus on His Divinity. Granted, we scrutinize, dissect, exegete and preach his teachings and ministry, but we never consider the sociopolitical dynamics of his early life’s that shaped and formed his ministry. Hendricks emphatically contends that churches have adopted a modern form of Docetism, which he coined as Political Docetism.…

    Like Hebrews and James, his central focus is persecution, but his main point is slightly different. His point is that joyfully accepted righteous suffering manifests God 's glory. He speaks about the glory of their inheritance in heaven, which is reserved for those who are suffering for the sake of Christ. He also encourages them to be strong in their faith and to remove any doubts. Chapter 1 and the beginning of chapter 2 focus on enduring trials and producing holiness.…

    The letter was written in the 50’s CE and its purpose is not obvious as Paul is unsure of how well informed the Christ-worshipers were. [1] From this information, it can be postulated that the Christ-movement was not established as “Christianity” at that point as the self-designation of a “Christian” does not appear until the end of the 1st century CE. [1] The information does not provide a source on who provided the information of Christ in Rome or if there were institutions separate from synagogues that they were originally worshipping in or if there were services in the homes of Christ-worshipers. A description given by Ambrosiaster (name given to the writer of Paul’s epistles) suggests that the ties to Judaism were strong—if not too strong—in Roman Christianity.…
