Jude

Chapter 1

4 - God makes people evil and then condemns them to hell.

* Jude 1:4 reads, "For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ."  This passage says nothing about God making evil people.  People choose to be evil.

5 - Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don't believe in him.

* Jude 1:5 reads, "But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe."  This passage is clearly referring to the pagans that God destroyed after He brought the Israelites out of Egypt.  This is talking about a past event.

6 - Jude says the fallen angels are chained down and cannot move, but 1 Peter (5:8) says they are free to roam around wherever they please.

* Neither passage is talking about every fallen angel.  Some fallen angels are in chains, like it says here, and some fallen angels are roaming the earth as it says in 1 Peter 5:8.

7 - God sent "eternal fire" on the people of Sodom and Gomorrah for "going after strange flesh."

* This is correct.  The unrepentant, extremely ungodly people of Sodom and Gomorrah were punished for their sins with eternal fire.  This correlates with other passages of scripture.  See Genesis 19:24 and Luke 17:29.

9 - Jude informs us that Michael the Archangel argued with the devil about the body of Moses.

* This is correct.

14 - Was Enoch the sixth or the seventh from Adam?

* In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul refers to the first Adam and the second Adam.  The second Adam refers to Jesus Christ; the eternal Christ and second person of the Godhead.  Therefore, since we see that Enoch is the sixth from the earthly Adam, we know that he was seventh from the heavenly, eternal Adam: Jesus Christ.


14-15 - Jude says Enoch prophesied that God would come with 10,000 of his saints "to execute judgment upon all." But where did he make such a prophecy? It is not recorded in the Bible.

* The Bible does not include every word that was spoken by every person in it.
