Filthy Dreamers: Jude 1:8

[Michael37]

In the current climate of godless humanism Christians can't publicly denounce as '"filthy dreamers" those leading the world further into decadence and defilement, without being accused of hate speech and virtue signaling. But we can still study the Book of Jude and read commentaries like this.  

Quote From Matthew Henry's Commentary regarding Jude 1:8:

Jud 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

"The apostle here exhibits a charge against deceivers who were now seducing the disciples of Christ from the profession and practice of his holy religion. He calls them filthy dreamers, forasmuch as delusion is a dream, and the beginning of, and inlet to, all manner of filthiness. Note, Sin is filthiness; it renders men odious and vile in the sight of the most holy God, and makes them (sooner or later, as penitent or as punished to extremity and without resource) vile in their own eyes, and in a while they become vile in the eyes of all about them. These filthy dreamers dream themselves into a fool's paradise on earth, and into a real hell at last: let their character, course, and end, be our seasonable and sufficient warning; like sins will produce like punishments and miseries."

How important it is to keep ourselves sanctified in Christ.

1Pe 3:15  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

This just a short post to see if anyone else has some thoughts and quotes on the subject of defilement versus sanctification.

[Who me]

As a Christian and as a citizen we all have the rightes of freedom of speach, we don't have the right to be blaitently rude, but we can protest about foul and lewd language, articals and programmes.

We also have the ability to praise and encourage that which is worth watching, listening or reading.

Change occurs when people press for and convince people that change is due.

We are called to be Salt and Light in a depraved and decaying world, it was no different in ancient Rome from what it is like today.
