Hello, hello, hello ladies and gents and welcome to the Bond Beloved podcast.

I'm Kirby Kelly. As always in this week, we're concluding our series on identifying false teachers based off of the teachings found in second Peter in the book of Jude.

Now, I know last week I had my friend Amanda Pittman join me on the podcast. So we took a brief break from our series, but I'm so glad that we're back at it.

And I encourage you to listen to parts one and part two if you haven't already so you can have more context as we examine the last few red flags as to what a false teacher looks like who a false teacher may be.

And so we those of us who are called to teach and preach the good news can also walk in a way that is in agreement with truth and not an error.

So we have already covered 13 of the 20 points that we are going to be covering. So we have about seven more to go. So yeah, without further ado, let's get into it.

Okay, again, listen to parts one and two if you haven't already for all the context, all the good stuff and then come back and listen to part three if you haven't.

But on to point 14 false teachers pollute their own bodies. What does this mean? Okay, let's look at what Jude eight says. Okay, it says in the very same way on the strength of their dreams.

These ungodly people pollute their own bodies reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. Okay, so the term here for pollute their own bodies.

When we cross reference other scripture, when we look at other translations, when we look at the Greek and the Hebrew and all those things, we look at all that specifically the Greek since when the New Testament.

This is just a fancy way of saying moral defilement. They live a moral lives of sensuality that do not agree with the morals that got his issued and called for believers to follow.

So in this, Jude eight, what we just read, it begins by saying in the very same way. So this is talking about the verse that would have previously come before it. So Jude seven.

He's referencing how in Jude seven, it talks about Sodom and Gomorrah and how false teachers act in the likes with their sexual morality and perversion just like they did in Sodom and in Gomorrah.

We know that their specific acts mentioned in Genesis 19 and in Ezekiel 16 talk about kind of the things that went down in Sodom and Gomorrah.

When it comes to sexual immorality and perversion, when we look at Genesis 19, something that was really common in Sodom and Gomorrah was homosexuality.

We see this by when we look at Genesis 19, the story with a lot and the angels that came to them, that the men in the city were looking for the angels and they wanted to know them.

It says in the scripture that they wanted to know them. And when we look at what that Hebrew word for no is yada, it was a covenantal term that was synonymously used for sex all throughout scripture.

Even in the very beginning of Genesis, we know that it talks about how Adam and Eve knew one another. And we see that as a pattern all throughout scripture that when a husband and a wife were married, they consummated that marriage through sex.

The term was used yada, it was it was used as no when we read scripture or they knew one another.

This is in the same context, the same word, the same way in Genesis 19. They wanted to know these angels. And so that's that's what it's talking about there.

It was talking about not only just sexual immorality and the sense of sex outside of marriage and all those things, but also homosexuality.

I know some people are like, well, where does it talk about that in scripture? Here's one instance where it talks about that.
