In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

wife. Sajid, the youngest who no longer wears a parka, is a truant who is
constantly bullied due to his Pakistani background, although the

disapproves.

9. THE INFIDEL
The Infidel is a 2010 British comedy film directed by Josh Appignanesi and written
by David Baddiel.
Mahmud Nasir (Omid Djalili) is a loving husband, doting father and a "relaxed"
British Muslim who frequently listens to rock music, particularly the long
deceased pop star Gary Page (James Floyd), and occasionally drinks alcohol. His
son, Rashid, wishes to get married to Uzma, but he and Uzma need the blessing
of her devout Muslim cleric stepfather, Arshad Al-Masri (Yigal Naor), whose
actions and beliefs have earned him the contempt of many British Muslims.
Mahmud reluctantly agrees to put on the act of devout Muslim for the occasion.
Things change when Mahmud, while clearing out his recently deceased mother's
house, stumbles across an adoption certificate. Mahmud learns he was actually
adopted by his Muslim parents when he was two weeks old, his birth parents
are Jewish, and his real name is Solomon "Solly" Shimshillewitz. This comes as a
shock to Mahmud, who is somewhat anti-Semitic, exemplified by his
relationship with his American Jewish neighbour, Leonard "Lenny" Goldberg
(Richard Schiff). His wife suspects his strange behaviour may be due to Mahmud
being gay and speaks to the imam of their local mosque. The imam tells
Mahmud that the Koran permits a man to sleep with another man.
