- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The books of 2
- 00:17
- Peter and Jude, I'm putting these two together because they are so similar in their content.
- 00:24
- 2 Peter is written by the Apostle Peter, and Jude is written by Jesus' half -brother.
- 00:29
- And what we see in both of these is an impassionate plea for the truth against false teachers.
- 00:39
- They're dealing with an onslaught of false teachers. Now, Jude is going to deal with the
- 00:44
- Gnostics, those who think they have an enlightened thinking. And so much of what we see in Jude, we also see in 2
- 00:50
- Peter. Peter goes into more detail, though. We're going to see Peter talking about some specific things that they are struggling with.
- 00:57
- He's going to talk about the works of God. He's going to end up talking about God's divine nature,
- 01:05
- His power, His promised proclamation. We're going to see that in Peter, just as in Jude, both are trying to warn the church against teachings that are not orthodox.
- 01:20
- They're going to be champions of truth, pleading for people to contend for the faith.
- 01:28

- 01:35
