Foundations Of Faith - What It Is Not - Part 2 of 6

The Faith Once Delivered To The Saints - What It Is NOT!

What does is mean to be a believer? We talk about "the faith once delivered to the saints" like we know what it means... but DO we?

In my studies I have been learning that the more obedient I become the more blessed I have become. Not works because I deserve death according to all the 613. But I believe it gives God something to bless, the same as my children exhibit more responsible maturity I can give them more responsibilities and privileges. Most believers have to move their mustaches to get the milk bottle in their mouths. It’s time to grow up and be mature believers of Yeshua Hamashiach and eat the meat of the word and start being a light in a dark world. Baruch ha’ba beshem. I pray for your complete restoration often Michael, Shalom Aleichem.

Michael, johova bless you sir! I was raised catholic, now consider myself a Torah seeking Christian. Love love love your instruction and insights into his truth we all seek!!! May he bless you always.

Is this Michael? I am sorry if U felt offended. I enjoy your teaching very much. I am reading the Bible from G-R 4 the first time. I'm in the middle of Joshua. I was just saying that Antioch had no say of it's naming. I left Churchianity because of all the wolves fleecing the flock. I loved your series on Revelation immensly. I'm just a sinner trying 2 read the Word.

My question is “WHO IS THE POPE THAT HE SHOULD APPROVE ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF SATAN!?!”

[titojunior]

Abram wasn't the 1st Jew, he was the 1st Hebrew. From Eber or one who crossed the river.

Not disagreeing with what you are saying about those "ungodly men" who turn the grace of God into lasciviousness and how that can lead to a compromised or defiled gospel message, but I do not believe that is what Jude is referring to in verse 3 when he speaks of "the common salvation." Sure, that is one way to interpret "koinos, " but the same word is used to speak of the believers having "all things in common, " and the same word is used in Titus 1:4, when speaking of "the common faith." To put "the common salvation" into better perspective, I think we need to look at what Jude says in verse 5: "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, HAVING SAVED THE PEOPLE out of the land of Egypt, AFTERWARD DETROYED THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT." (Jud 1:5) In other words, salvation came before the destruction of the wicked, and it came to all. It was, therefore, a "common salvation." And this is why Jesus said: "And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world." (John 12:47) So often I hear people quote this passage as if Jesus is asserting that there is "no judgment, " that he does not and will not "judge" us, that he came ONLY "to save" us. But they fail to "remember" what Jude is, here, telling those to whom he is writing this letter that they need to remember, that salvation comes BEFORE judgment, BEFORE the destruction of the wicked. And is this not what Jesus said? That "judgment" would come with the coming of the Holy Spirit that was to follow?

Inmatthew 5:18 please explain it saying  " tell all things take place" what is  all things?
