Wake UP!!!

[JMG]

People of the world, you are vain, lovers of self, hateful, you have falling a way from the truth. There are few who seeks God.

Come back you foolish men, you wonderers. Turn back for the time is near. Come back you prideful, for you are lost in yourself. Seek not men, for in men is evil, but seek God and come back. Come back you Idolaters, for you seek the things of the earth more then God. Come back all children of the earth, for you have fallen.

Their tongues are filled with evil, there eyes full of lust, they are quick to anger, they Fear not the Lord. But blessed is the man who fears the Lord, For God is with him. Blessed is he who walks in the Light, for in him is light. Blessed is He who seeks God, for he shall find Him.

Men of God, rise up to fight the battle, do not be fooled into thinking the cause is lost! You Fool who says "The cause is lost" Wake up! For you have been deceived.

This is how you know its the end, because in the end there will be False Teachers and teachings, Lovers of self, Children will disobey, and there are Great signs of the earth will start setting up, signs that He is near.

The Lord is with you, What then should you fear? The time is near when you will be put in prisons, and put to death, But stand firm through to the very end.

Evil is being loved, man is falling into there Lust, They have turned to perversion Men with Men, women with women, against their nature, Sin drives them. They have turned a way from God, weaker and weaker is the earth's faith in God. Wake up! All people, for the time is near.

To thoughs who are being persicuted, Remember the Lord is Coming! Stand firm till the end, for you will be blessed. May the grace of God be with you to the end.

Dear JMG,

Do not be speechless, the trumpet has been sounding here. We are not surprised nor in disagreement with what you posted. There are many of one mind. The mind of Christ in this matter. We have heard the sounding.

Dear friends,

I had intended to write to you about the salvation we share. But something has come up. It demands that I write to you and encourage you to continue your fight for the Christian faith that was entrusted to God's holy people once for all time. Some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. Not long ago they were condemned in writing for the following reason: They are people to whom God means nothing. They use God's kindness as an excuse for sexual freedom and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. I want to remind you about what you already know: The Lord once saved his people from Egypt. But on another occasion he destroyed those who didn't believe. He held angels for judgment on the great day. They were held in darkness, bound by eternal chains. These are the angels who didn't keep their position of authority but abandoned their assigned place. What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them is an example for us of the punishment of eternal fire. The people of these cities suffered the same fate that God's people and the angels did, because they committed sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities. Yet, in a similar way, the people who slipped in among you are dreamers. They contaminate their bodies with sin, reject the Lord's authority, and insult his glory. When the archangel Michael argued with the devil, they were arguing over the body of Moses. But Michael didn't dare to hand down a judgment against the devil. Instead, Michael said, "May the Lord reprimand you!" Whatever these people don't understand, they insult. Like animals, which are creatures of instinct, they use whatever they know to destroy themselves.

How horrible it will be for them! They have followed the path of Cain. They have rushed into Balaam's error to make a profit. They have rebelled like Korah and destroyed themselves.

These people are a disgrace at the special meals you share with other believers. They eat with you and don't feel ashamed. They are shepherds who care only for themselves. They are dry clouds blown around by the winds. They are withered, uprooted trees without any fruit. As a result, they have died twice. Their shame is like the foam on the wild waves of the sea. They are wandering stars for whom gloomy darkness is kept forever. Furthermore, Enoch, from the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about them. He said, "The Lord has come with countless thousands of his holy angels. He has come to judge all these people. He has come to convict all these ungodly sinners for all the ungodly things they have done and all the harsh things they have said about him." These people complain, find fault, follow their own desires, say arrogant things, and flatter people in order to take advantage of them.

Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you to expect: "In the last times people who ridicule God will appear. They will follow their own ungodly desires." These are the people who cause divisions. They are concerned about physical things, not spiritual things. Dear friends, use your most holy faith to grow. Pray with the Holy Spirit's help. Remain in God's love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you eternal life. Show mercy to those who have doubts. Save others by snatching them from the fire of hell. Show mercy to others, even though you are afraid that you might be stained by their sinful lives. God can guard you so that you don't fall and so that you can be full of joy as you stand in his glorious presence without fault.

"In the last times people who ridicule God will appear. They will follow their own ungodly desires."

I was once one of those people.

You were once of those people.

We hate the sin...deplore it, in fact..... No exceptions.

Let us have humble and grateful hearts that God had pity on us and spared us from what we had coming.

What version of the Bible are you quoting? Or is this your own paraphrase of the book of Jude ?
