Before we start on Jude...

Before we actually begin working on Jude I thought I'd post my points of 
contention in advance, mainly so that Matt and the CCBE can be prepared 
beforehand.

1.	Jude was written by a post-apostolic anonymous author. (v. 1)
2.	Jude explicitly contradicts other biblical authors concerning the status 
of the fallen angels (v. 6)
3	The author of Jude stated that he and his audience were in 'the last 
time,' erroneously expecting the imminent parousia of Jesus. (vv. 1, 18)
4.	Jude expressly quoted and stamped prophetical approval on the 
pseudopedigraphal book of First Enoch ( vv 14-15).
5.	Jude alluded to and stamped approval on the apocryphal book "The 
Assumption of Moses" (v. 9).

The book of Jude is a really interesting well-written letter; even the 
outline of the book itself is interesting.  But belief an all-knowing 
deity's guiding the writing of this book leads to some very strange 
conclusions.  But we'll work on that next week.

Regards,
Jason
