Jude As The Eschatological Covenants in Chronological Order

Think of the outline below as a theatric script    written as an Apocalyptic narrative as God’s eschatological judgment unfolds through redemptive history from the beginning to the present day & beyond.   Edenic & Adamic 1  Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: Adamic & Noahic  2  May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Noahic & Abrahamic  3  Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.  4  For 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 and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

28 And God blessed 

them. 

And God said to them, 

“Be fruitful and multiply 

and fill the earth 

and subdue it, and have dominion 

over the fish of the sea and over 

the birds of the heavens and over 

every living thing that moves on 

the earth.” 29 And God said, 

“Behold, I have given you every 

plant yielding seed that is on the 

face of all the earth, and every tree 

with seed in its fruit. You shall have 

them for food. 30 And to every beast 

of the earth and to every bird of the 

heavens and to everything that 

creeps on the earth, everything that 

has the breath of life, I have given 

every green plant for food.” And it 

was so. 31 And God saw everything 

that he had made, and behold, it was

 very good. And there was evening 

and there was morning, the sixth day.

 12 “Honor your father and your 

mother, that your days may be 

long in the land that the 

Lord your God is giving you.

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality

Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies.  1-  Is - Ought Fallacy  - Human anatomy is said to provide    a blueprint for sexual ethics.  We examined this in my previous article.  A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.”  The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics.  2 -  Vicious Circularity   - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant.    A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled.  In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...

Covenant Theology In Outline Form (Part 1)

This is the general outline of a suzerain covenant. Shema/Preamble Historical Prologue General Stipulations Specific Stipulations  Renewal, Document Clause Witnesses Victory Statement This outline appears repeatedly in Scripture.    It makes for a helpful Study Guide.     We ought to pay careful attention when this outline appears, insofar as every major biblical covenant takes this form.    Here are some helpful thoughts. The Bible teaches the 3 uses of the Law (& Gospel).     Understanding the 3 uses of the Law helps us as we study Deuteronomy & the Sermon on the Mount.   As Moses delivered God’s Law from Sinai, so Yeshua reveals God’s Law with a Gospel slant from the Mount of Olives.  Deuteronomy :  Preamble (1:1-5) Historical Prologue (1:6 - 4:43) General Stipulations (4:44 - 11:32) Decalogue 5 : 1 - 21  Specific Stipulations (12:1 - 26:19) Renewal, Document Clause (27:1 - 30:20)  Witnesses ...

Jude  Jude 1–25 (ESV):    Shema 1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James,  To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:  2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.  Historical Prologue  3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For 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 and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.  General & Specific Stipulations & Renewal  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. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left thei...
