Are you mocking God or the Bible with your question(s)?

Question

The Bible states in Jude 18 "How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts."

In 2 Peter 3:2-7 we read, "That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."

Answer 1

Nice point.
Usually, Jude is one of the least, if not THE least preached book in the Bible. Sometimes, all you ever hear from it is the doxology.
In our times, this book needs to be read and understood more than ever before. It is very much the "sidewalk" that leads directly to Revelation. A primer for it.
Maxwell Coder wrote a thin commentary on Jude some years back, and by far the best I have read. Most commentators say little, a page at best, for this entire Epistle.
A timely word strikes well into the heart. Well done, I hope many read this question.

Answer 2

I want to point out the inherent logical fallacies of their questions (the mocking God questions) and up to date an argument demonstrating their loss of rational objectivity. I comprehend that i'm dropping my time, for the main section. My desire is that if I do it adequate, the numerous questioners would be curious adequate to ask; 'gee, what does advert-hominem advise, what's a straw-guy argument, or an attraction to ridicule" etc. And optimistically comprehend how irrational their arguments are; and consequently how lacking in any semblance of cleverness (by way of fact they do think of they're exceptionally clever).

Answer 3

there's a big difference between asking questions and mocking. abraham even goes so far as to accuse god ("shall not the judge of all the earth do what is just?"), jeremiah 20 is one of my favourite questioning chapters. then there's the entire book of job and most of the psalms. in the gospels it's not just the pharisees who ask jesus questions, the disciples are constantly bombarding him with their questions too - the difference is intent: the disciples ask because they want to know the answers; the pharisees to look smarter than jesus.

there are many many questions which i have regarding scripture - something other christians sometimes give me a very hard time over - but keep going. you're followiung in a great tradition.

Answer 4

If they lived at the time of Jesus they would be the passers by that says: "If he is the son of God let him come down ."

some will sigh: "He can save others but he can't save himself"

Mockery of Jesus would never end until He comes back then they would admit with bended knees: "Jesus Christ is the LORD of lords and King of kings, He alone saves!"...

Answer 5

Neither, it's talking about the outcome of unbelivers.

Answer 6

Constantly.

Wow, am I being too subtle or something?

Of course, if we weren't mocking, that'd be a false prophecy. You wouldn't want that in the bible, would you?

Answer 7

Actually, they're mocking neither of those. They're mocking believers.

Answer 8

I mock both. The bible more often. There's a talking donkey in there you know.

Answer 9

Usually, I am mocking people who write the stuff like you do.

Since there is no god, you're all I have to mock.

Answer 10

Your god mocked me so I'm entitled to some retribution dude....
