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.

6. REFORMS BROUGHT BY SWAMI VIVEKANANDA
•Vivekananda considered Hinduism to be the mother of all religions. He established through historical sequence.
•He showed that Vedic religion had influenced Buddhism which again was instrumental in influencing Christianity
He told that all the religions of the world have the same value and importance. In the Parliament of Religions he told—
” …. The Christian is not to become a
Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a
Buddhist to become a Christian. But each
must assimilate the spirit of the others and
yet preserve his individuality and grow
according to his own law of growth ….
Upon the banner of every religion soon
be written … ‘Help and not fight’,
‘Assimilation and not Destruction’,
‘Harmony, and peace and not Dissension.”
Thus, through his universal religion, Vivekananda preached the unity of God.
• He told that though the paths are different for different religions but the goal is same.
He attached great importance to the unity of all religions and their fusion into one universal religion.
7. ADVAITA VEDANTISM
•Swami Vivekananda was a great lover of Vedantic
philosophy.
• He believed in monoism. He had firm faith on one God. His
motto, as reflected earlier, was to establish a link among
different religions.
•He had told that as water of different rivers mingle in the sea,
similarly every religion finds itself at the feet of God.
•He did not see any difference between a Veda or Koran or
Bible. Temple, Mosque and Church were equal for him
•He preferred to meditate at any place without any inhibition
in his mind.
•By his personal example he preached monism or Avaita
Vedantism. By that he showed his toleration towards every
religion.
•He spoke the message of Vedanta regarding the world unity
and to believe shapeless God.

America!". At these words, Vivekananda received a two-minute
standing ovation from the crowd of seven thousand.

his address, greeting the youngest of the nations on behalf of "the most
ancient order of monks in the world, the Vedic order of sannyasins, a
religion which has taught the world both tolerance, of and universal
acceptance".
• The New York Critique wrote, "He is an orator by divine right, and his
strong, intelligent face in its picturesque setting of yellow and orange
was hardly less interesting than those earnest words, and the rich,
rhythmical utterance he gave them".

9. •Vivekananda quoted two illustrative passages from the "Shiva mahimna stotram": "As the
different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so,
O Lord, the different paths which men take, through different tendencies, various though they
appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee!" and "Whosoever comes to Me, through
whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are struggling through paths that in the end lead to
Me.“

Parliament.
