Episode 2.52
Two short books. One urgent message.
Jude and 2 Peter sound like echoes of each other—warning about false teachers, moral corruption, and a church tempted to drift. But behind their similarities lies a sharp, Spirit-led call to courage and purity.
In this episode, Zach and Michael unpack how these “forgotten books at the back of the Bible” fit into the bigger New Testament story. They explore their shared language, debated relationship, and the timeless message that faith must be defended, not diluted.
Covered in this episode:
– How Jude and 2 Peter mirror each other almost word-for-word
– Whether Peter borrowed from Jude—or Jude from Peter
– What their warnings reveal about early heresies and modern ones
– 2 Peter’s threefold defense: God’s Word, judgment, and return
– Why Jude quotes 1 Enoch—and how it doesn’t undermine Scripture
– The call to “contend for the faith once delivered” in an age of moral confusion
Takeaway:
Grace doesn’t excuse sin, and delay doesn’t mean denial. God’s patience is mercy—but judgment and redemption are still on the clock.
