ANSWER:

D:  24 DESCRIPTIONS AND ILLUSTRATIONS

 

Although Jude’s letter contains only 25 verses, he presents at least 24 descriptions and illustrations of false believers, concentrated in just 16 verses (vv. 4-19).

 

  1. Ungodly men (vv. 4, 15). The Greek word family ἀσεβής (asebēs) appears five times in these two verses: once in verse 4 and four times in verse 15.
  2. Deniers of the Master and Lord (v. 4)
  3. Unbelievers (v. 5)
  4. Dreamers (v. 8)
  5. Like irrational animals (v. 10)
  6. Ignorant of spiritual realities (v. 10)
  7. Followers of Cain’s way (v. 11)
  8. Greedy for gain, like Balaam (v. 11)
  9. Rebellious like Korah (v. 11)
  10. Acting without fear (v. 12)
  11. Shepherds who feed themselves (v. 12)
  12. Clouds without water (v. 12)
  13. Fruitless autumn trees (v. 12)
  14. Twice dead (v. 12)
  15. Uprooted (v. 12)
  16. Raging waves of the sea (v. 13)
  17. Wandering stars (v. 13)
  18. Grumblers (v. 16)
  19. Complainers and faultfinders (v. 16)
  20. Flatterers seeking personal advantage (v. 16)
  21. Mockers (v. 18)
  22. Worldly-minded (v. 19)
  23. Those who cause divisions (v. 19)
  24. Those who do not have the Spirit (v. 19)

 

Jude’s warning is unmistakable: the greatest danger to a congregation does not always come from enemies outside its walls but sometimes from those who have quietly slipped inside.
