Christians what do you think about Jude 1:22-23 Try to help those who argue against you...?

We do help them but it is okay that we do not throw pearls to the pigs.

Below is a more accurate translation. It's all about being love to others, being kind to those who have doubts. It's appropriately speaking the truth in love, whether it's gentle or lovingly confrontational.

Jude 1:22-23

New International Version (NIV)

22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Many Christian believers respond to the instruction from Jude 1: 21-23 as no less than the “great commission” declared to the apostles granted the role of witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus (see Matthew 28: 19-20, KJV). In general, those who question the authority and reality of the Holy Spirit (also called the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, the Spirit of Prophecy, the Spirit of Truth) focus upon the specific words of the two passages, and fail to recognize the oneness and sameness of their intent and operation. Similarly, there are many who challenge the spiritual authority and legitimacy of Jude, a sibling of Jesus, and not one widely known as having office in the hierarchy of the early church (e.g., prophet, bishop, deacon, etc.).

As beginners and new believers, a person’s focus may be entirely upon their own salvation. Realization of their own faults, flaws and sins may have come into their awareness with great force and power. As they pray some form of what is called “the sinner’s prayer,” there may be overwhelming guilt and shame. There may be a great humbling of their pride as they confess the terrible damage they may have done to others as well as to themselves. However, the new birth establishes a new self-awareness, and new self-esteem. In addition to aspects of divinity, the content and substance of GOD who is spirit, believers receive new life that is described by holy purpose, obedience to divine law, and sacred work.

There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. For example, love of GOD and of Christ as Son of the Highest expands and increases only through the growth that comes by regular prayer, study of the holy writings, and service within a community of believers. Born again, one receives such elements of divine DNA as faith, holiness, righteousness, truth, wisdom and wrath against sin. All are not called to be preachers, yet all are given a gospel and a testimony that must be freely shared.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.

2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Jonah 2:8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Prior to that Jude says:

I urge you to fight against the certain men who have crept in unawares. Men who have been marked for this destruction.

*3*

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith, which was once delivered to the saints. *4*

For certain men have crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

*5*

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. *6*

And the angels who kept not their first state, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness to the judgment of the great day. *7*

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to impurity, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude was not talking about a hell fire.

Jude was talking about the fire that is going to come out of heaven and it means the second death

EDIT: Anyways Jude 23 does not come close to quote you " very flames of hell"

And answer a fool according to his folly.

Psalm 18:24-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

24 Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,

According to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.

25 With the kind You show Yourself kind;

With the [a]blameless You show Yourself blameless;

26 With the pure You show Yourself pure,

And with the crooked You show Yourself [b]astute.

A contradictory truth; there for BALANCE.

My God, whom I praise,

do not remain silent,

2 for people who are wicked and deceitful

have opened their mouths against me;

they have spoken against me with lying tongues.

3 With words of hatred they surround me;

they attack me without cause.

4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,

but I am a man of prayer.

5 They repay me evil for good,

and hatred for my friendship.

6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;

let an accuser stand at his right hand.

7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,

and may his prayers condemn him.

8 May his days be few;

may another take his place of leadership.

9 May his children be fatherless

and his wife a widow.

10 May his children be wandering beggars;

may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.

11 May a creditor seize all he has;

may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

12 May no one extend kindness to him

or take pity on his fatherless children.

13 May his descendants be cut off,

their names blotted out from the next generation.

14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;

may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

15 May their sins always remain before the Lord,

that he may blot out their name from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,

but hounded to death the poor

and the needy and the brokenhearted.

17 He loved to pronounce a curse—

may it come back on him.

He found no pleasure in blessing—

may it be far from him.

18 He wore cursing as his garment;

it entered into his body like water,

into his bones like oil.

19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,

like a belt tied forever around him.

20 May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,

to those who speak evil of me.

I only repay evil with good and kindness.

I pray God buries the faces of my enemies in the dust in shame for repentance for the salvation of their souls. The same as he did to me. For it is loving kindness.

Christians are not suppose to argue with those who do not believe. Everyone has freewill and can choose the path they want to spend their eternity.

yes. i love these verse like that in the bible which sort of explain it all in a little nutshell. that is what we are supposed to be doing, especialy here where we are all free to express our views.

I think so many Christians on this site need to memorize that verse!
