 Turning grace |

TURNING GRACE
For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4
Beware of teachers who TURN grace into something else AND deny Jesus.
Turn is from the Greek "metatithemi" meaning "to put one thing in place of another".
When you remove grace and put something else in its place, you experience condemnation.
When you deny Jesus, you experience condemnation.
Grace never produces sin, condemnation or death. Law does.
Grace frees us from the dominion of sin and the condemnation and death it produces.
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Rom. 6:14

What does " turn the grace of our God into licentiousness " mean?
What's the greek for licentiousness - you seem to have left that out when you were doing greek translations for us.

Do you understand what it means to deny Jesus?
Licentiousness is a tricky word of uncertain origin. It's translated from the Greek "aselgeia".
Strongs - asélgeia (from aselgēs/"brutal") – properly, violent spite which rejects restraint and indulges in lawless insolence (wanton caprice)
Thayers - the conduct and character of one who is ἀσελγής (a word which some suppose to be compounded of the alpha privative and Σελγη, the name of a city in Pisidia whose citizens excelled in strictness of morals (so Etym. Magn. 152, 38; per contra cf. Suidas 603 d.): others of ἆ intens. and σαλάγειν, to disturb, raise a din; others, and now the majority, of alpha privative and σέλγω equivalent to θέλγω, not affecting pleasantly, exciting disgust), "unbridled lust, excess, licentiousness, lasciviousness, wantonness, outrageousness,Mark 7:22 (where it is uncertain what particular vice is spoken of); of gluttony and venery, Jude 1:4; plural, 1 Peter 4:3; 2 Peter 2:2 (for Rec. ἀπωλείαις), 18; of carnality, lasciviousness: 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 4:19; 2 Peter 2:7; plural "wanton (acts or) manners, as filthy words, indecent bodily movements, unchaste handling of males and females, etc." (Fritzsche), Romans 13:13. (In Biblical Greek besides only in Wis. 14:26 and 3Macc. 2:26. Among Greek writings used by Plato, Isocrates and following; at length by Plutarch (Lucull. 3 and Lucian (dial. meretr. 6) of the wantonness of women (Lob. ad Phryn., p. 184 n.).) Cf. Tittmann i., p. 151f; (especially Trench, § xvi.). shamelessness, insolence":
