Jude 1:8 “Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise (dominion) and (speak evil of) (dignities).” Greek Translation: “Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise the Kingly glory of Christ and speak evil of God and his Christ and the glory of God and his Christ.” Commentary: My pastor many years ago told me this verse means we are not to speak evil of government officials! I was green behind the ears then and continued on in my spiritual growth. However when I began to do the Hebrew and Greek translations of scripture I realized their is also politics in ministry! This pastor was trying to protect his 501c tax exemption from any criticism of government from his church! Jesus called Herod a fox! We elect our politicians and are supposed to work for us! The are answerable to us! However few do today! Jude here was speaking of those who blaspheme the name of Christ and his kingdom here on earth! When our government promotes evil through enacting laws that oppose God then they need to be called out! Look your Bible can be trusted! However your English words were taken from the Hebrew and Greek languages. If we use one generic word in English to express a spiritual concept from Hebrew or Greek we could miss something! This is why I stress for you to get a Hebrew-Greek Study Bible for your own spiritual growth! When our government removes prayer and Bibles from our children in Public schools they are blaspheming God and his Christ! When they remove the Ten Commandments they are mocking God and his Christ! Time to elect politicians who respect God and his Christ! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYou.com
