<p>1:10 <i>But these revile whatever things they do not see with their eyes or cannot examine naturally. They are like the beasts without reason. In these things are they destroyed- </i>The path of Cain involved reviling what he did not understand (Jude 10,11). He didn&rsquo;t understand, or didn&rsquo;t let himself understand, the principles of sacrifice, and so he reviled his brother and God&rsquo;s commands, he became a true child of the Biblical Devil &ndash; because he refused to spiritually 'see' / understand. Their destruction the same word is used about condemnation at the last day was ongoing; they were destroying / condemning themselves by their behaviour. They were completely closed to any higher, spiritual reasoning- like animals. &quot;See&quot; is the word for 'understanding'. They used abusive language and had a belligerent attitude because they chose to be without understanding. They reviled &quot;dignitaries&quot; and &quot;authority&quot;; they were so drunk on their own power that they considered themselves above all civil and ecclesial authority. They were so sensual that they were blind to anything beyond that which they could &quot;examine naturally&quot;, what was visibly in front of them. And the essence of this error is to be seen in those who reject God and His moral teaching because they say that the evidence for Him cannot be examined naturally, by direct impact upon their own eyes and ears.</p>
