Full details are at this link: http://eepurl.com/ddB0yb Jude's letter provides warning and instruction about handling false teachings that are prophesied to infiltrate the Church. We can detect the false from the true by comparing it with the written word... ie. the faith once delivered. We can also tell what is false from the behavior it produces.

The bible indicates that offering salvation to all human beings comes in stages 1 Corinthians 15:22-26. ALL will be made alive but each in turn: First - Christ is raised from the dead to eternal life Then - those who are His followers are raised to eternal life at Christ's return Then - "the end" - those who have never become followers of Christ, or even had the opportunity to do so will be raised and enter into a period of judgment. "the end" marks a momentous time which, when finished, will remove death from the human experience forever. Get a FREE copy of our eBook "What Really Happens After Death?"
