• Jude 1:3 . . Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our
common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend
earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
Given the peace-loving nature of true God-given Christianity, I seriously doubt that
Jude means Christians should get involved in inquisitions and crusades. Instead,
contending for the faith means taking a serious interest in helping to prevent your
Church from becoming infected with, and/or influenced by, impious ideologies.
This is especially urgent in our day when Chinese communism is busy infiltrating
churches; working to create schism, undermine authority, and to weaken belief in,
trust in, and compliance with, a righteous supreme being. Religions like Christianity
are a serious threat to Chinese communism's stability-- a system at its best with
dishonesty, murder, kidnapping, unjust imprisonment, atheism, theft, torture,
totalitarianism, abuse of human rights, brutality, fraud, bullying, destruction of
family unity, coercion, collusion, flexible morality, culture destruction, and propaganda.
