Default Re: Unanswered questions -- contending for the faith

3Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.

This is not a useless exercise as Drake claims, rather his claim confirms that there will be mockers in the last days.

4For there are certain men crept in privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Yes, that is also my conclusion as well.

9But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Amen, the Lord rebuke them.

11Woe unto them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.

Woe to them for they have gone in the way of lawsuits. The error in Daystar, LSM, PL, etc was fundamentally the error of becoming a prophet for hire, like Balaam. The "Ground of the church" doctrine and the claim of "Minister of the Age" is their "running riotously in this error". The apology letter to PL is the gainsaying of Korah.

16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling words), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage.

Great swelling words like "Minister of the Age", "Vision of the Age", and "Ministry of the Age". Showing respect for the sake of advantage (i.e., pleasing Witness Lee for the sake of advantage).

20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22And on some have mercy, who are in doubt; 23and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
24Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy, 25to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen.
