Immorality & Perversion

[Jude 1:7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them were judged for immorality and perversion, or homosexuality. G-d in His wrath sent down fire and brimstone and destroyed every person in these cities. When we read of churches anointing gay pastors and bishops we should remember G-d’s response to this sin in days of old.
Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil!
The word woe is synonymous with anathema, or cursed. To this day the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah are suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Going after strange flesh - The reference seems to be to the peculiar sin which, from the name Sodom, has been called sodomy. Romans 1:27. The meaning of the phrase going after is that they were greatly addicted to this vice. The word strange, or other, refers to that which is contrary to nature and detestable gratifications of their pampered and indulged flesh."
Are set forth for an example - They furnish a warning against all such conduct, and a demonstration that punishment shall come upon the ungodly. The condemnation of any sinner, or of any class of sinners, always furnishes such a warning.
The reason for Jude’ concern was that these terrible sins had been brought into the church. Certain men had crept in unawares. Why were we unaware?
Were we complacent?
Were we given to compromise?
Did we substitute tolerance for diligence?
Jude is issuing a warning to church leaders to be sober and vigilant about the enemy of our souls, and that warning is specifically aimed at people who come into the body of believers to carry out the work of Satan.
They may try to sow discord. They may suggest compromising our standards.
They may subtly and slowly distract from the sovereignty of G-d.
They may deny the deity of Messiah.
The Word speaks of people who would heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. There are many ways that the enemy will use people to rob the church of its power and its glory.
If Satan can get our focus off Messiah and onto the latest gossip, cliques, splits, or whatever divides us, he has accomplished his purpose.
If he can make you doubt that Y’Shua is Immanuel, G-d With Us, then he has robbed you of your access to the Father.
If he can get you to compromise and excuse sin, he has stolen your robes of righteousness and replaced them with filthy rags.
Since he will attack in so many ways, is it any wonder Jude was compelled to exhort us to earnestly contend for the faith?
If G-d spared not these cities, why should we think He would excuse America?
