Jude wrote about defending the gospel ok but your idea of how it is to be done is not a one size fits all approach Paul addressed the statute to " The unknown god" would not that statute to this so-called unknown god be offencive ?
by what I think some believe Paul should have done; is say to the Greeks: you false teacher! and supporters of heresies ! You damnable teaching you do. That would have been ok but Paul did not do that did he? I am not allowing one to contend anything about water baptism in fact I posted very clearly what it is I think the bible says about salvation.
I guess my objective is not to prove those who post in the BDF that I am right and they are wrong because so many examples in the Word of God shows me a more excellent way LIke Paul did. I think Paul said it as the Holy Spirit gave it to him " That I might be all things to all men that I might win some."
But I could be wrong

"But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ." Acts 9:22
Paul was right wasn't he about Jesus? Yes he was trying to prove himself right about Christ, and he did so through the Scriptures(ie: Acts 17:2). Why are people acting like "damnable heresy" is a curse word or something? Every person who teaches another gospel is teaching a gospel that can't save. A gospel that can't save keeps people on the path to hell! That's why it is called "damnable heresy" in the Word. Paul even mentioned about damnable heresies in 2 Pet 2:1, so you can be sure he was speaking about this much throughout his ministry. My goal isn't to prove that I'm right about the hundreds of topics we see on the BDF(the negotiables), but to prove the truth from the Scriptures about the gospel(the non-negotiable).
