NOTES:
Are you a woke Christian? Jude 5-10
- Jude – Jesus ½ bro, saw Him battle sin, die for sinners, rise, ascend
- Progressive mov’t invaded church – OT outdated, repressive, new version XN
=Undermines – original sin; total depravity, demonic forces, & need for God
· TODAY: “woke” – counterfeit born again – I’m victim/Jesus. Indiv & Inst = sinners
Social Justice – Everyone who builds institution/ideas/org’s = oppressor.
Men? = sexists. White? = racist. Hetero? = homophobe. XN? = religious bigot
?Heaven w/o God – cancel oppressors, critical theory destroy inst, redistribute $/power
- Culture = cultural Marxism
- Church = apostasy, woke “XN’s” = JUDE GOES BAK TO OT – NO CHANGE!
Just because your blessed, does not mean you are saved
Jude 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
Remind – the Bible repeats itself like a parent w/a child
1. Book of Exodus, days of Moses
2. Enslaved over 400+ yrs
3. God freed & fed; worshipped idols & sexual sin = died went to hell
= just because God has blessed you does not mean you are saved. You must choose
?indifferent? ? Faith around you does nothing if there’s not faith in you!
-You can grow up XN home, attend XN school, married & buried church = wake up hell
No one ever won a fight with God
Jude 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—
EXCLUSIVE RESOURCE: WIN YOUR WAR
Angels = A). Worshippers & B). Messengers C). Ministers = (e.g. ministry staff)
· angels 300X Bible, roughly 90% of the books
· “innumerable angels”, “a thousand thousands and 10k X 10k “
· 3 named angels 1. Michael, 2. Gabriel, 3. Lucifer? (Isaiah 14:12 KJV, NKJV)
· Categories (archangel, commander, cherubim/seraphim, guardian, church Rev 2-3)
Other Divine Beings = “sons of God”; “the gods”
- Not God: no human body, gender, physical limitation
- Not Humans: no divine attributes or qualities
1). God – 2). Angels – 3). People =
-Heb. 2:7 “lower than the angels” -1 Cor. 6:3 “we are to judge angels”
?Are you arrogant & independent? = demonic
Hell is tolerant, Heaven is not
Jude 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
- 2 angels come to get Lot out of Sodom before God destroyed it
Gen 19:5 “They [the men of Sodom w/boys] called to Lot, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.’”
1. Hebrew word consistently translated as “sex” (e.g., 4:1, 4:17, 4:25, 19:8, 24:16)
2. “Sexual immorality” trans – “fornication”, “gross immoral freedom”, “impurity”, “immoral sexual relations”, “sexual sins”, “perversions”, “gross sexual immorality”, “lust of every kind”, “sexual promiscuity”, “sexual perversions”, “the wrong way of using sex”, “whoredom”
NATURAL vs “UNNANTURAL DESIRE”
- Sex – male/female 2. Gender – masculine/feminine
- Marriage – man/woman 4. Sexuality – marry, have raise boys/girls
- =Everything else – “unnatural” (change sex, gender, sexuality)
Forbidden unnatural “Real Romance” = homosexuality, erotica, bestiality, bisexuality, fornication, friends w/benefits, adultery, swinging, prostitution, incest, rape, polygamy, polyandry, sinful lust, pornography, pedophilia, sexually touching someone else (besides your spouse) in any way with or w/o clothes on, & sexually viewing or talking to someone else including via technology. + “porneia”
Sodom & Gomorrah historical fact

CHUCH: The Bible draws lines between Church & World that apostates want to erase
- “Christian” Denominations that sanction same-sex marriages
- Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) (3,700 churches)
- United Church of Christ (4,700 churches)
- Episcopal (7,200 churches)
- Presbyterian Church U.S.A (8,700 churches)
- Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (8,900 churches)
- United Methodist (28,000 churches) = 61,000 (some pastors/churches not apostate)
WORLD: We have gone from accepting people “born that way, to converting generation
10% of Millennials (27-42), and 18% of Gen Z (1997-2012) identify as LGBTQ
40% of Brown U students now identify as non-heterosexual.
=We should be treating trauma, not grooming children
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10342728/
· Gender Dysphoria linked to childhood trauma
· Possible demonic transference and oppression
· We are sexualizing children, bringing sexual identity exploration younger than ever
· We are exposing children to sex via porn/internet & even soft porn on social media
· Children who are abused or curious are abusing other children
· We are not helping treat children who are sexual/gender abused/confused
· = we are increasing trauma, and not treating trauma = not loving
- Sexual sin is something most everyone struggles with, just in different ways
- Jude’s intensity is not directed towards unbelievers, but apostates.
Jude 4 “certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality & deny our only Master & Lord, Jesus Christ.”
– Everyone but 4 loved Sodom, stayed, nuclear strike (unbelievers)
– 1 person (Lot’s wife) left & got killed trying to go back after looking back (apostate)
– 2 people (Lot’s daughter) left & took values w/them (possible confused believer)
– 1 person (Lot) left & did not look back, or take their values (believer)
Just because you are spiritual does not mean you have the Holy Spirit
Jude 8-10 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.
Story outside Bible = Jude quotes 1 Enoch, & alludes Assumption of Moses
– OT – quotes Book of Jashar; Book of the Wars of the Lord
– NT – Paul quotes pagan poets & other sources outside Bible
- All truth is God’s truth (surgeon, mechanic, engineer)
- Solo Scriptura vs Solo Scriptura (XN read & learn broadly)
-Angels have more respect that some religious people –
-You can never defeat pride with pride. You can only defeat pride with humility.
=Blasphemy – “insult, slander, dishonor, abuse, defame, despise, revile” God & Word
I am a XN who believes:
- the Bible has errors
- the Bible is an old book we’ve moved beyond
- God is saying new things that are different than what He used to say
- God just wants us to be happy and doesn’t judge us
- Everyone is going to Heaven
- God is love and so he loves whatever we decide to believe and however we decide to behave
CLOSE
Jude -using fallen demons to warn sinful/rebellious/fallen humans
1. Demons – “eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day”
2. Humans – Jesus
