Who are the filthy dreamers in Jude verse 8?
Jude verse 8 identifies the filthy dreamers as false teachers hawking an adulterated product. They defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. They ridicule Scripture they have never studied and operate from the old Adamic nature, living like brute beasts and corrupting themselves.
Les teaches that the filthy dreamers in Jude verse 8 are false teachers who are hawking an adulterated product. He notes that 2 Timothy chapter 3 is almost word for word like Jude. Jude has already given the examples of the fallen angels and Sodom and Gomorrah. These false teachers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. They speak evil of things they do not know. They ridicule the truth of Scripture without ever having studied it, ridiculing it simply because it is the Word of God. What they know naturally comes from the old Adamic side, as brute beasts. They are no higher in their thinking than the animal world, and in those things they corrupt themselves. They can live at the moral level of an animal and think they are living it up. These false teachers are spots in the love feast, feasting with believers and feeding themselves without fear.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
