10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

You just scoffed at the word of God Benencasa!

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation....

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Sean, look at the 4th verse, SINCE THE FATHERS FELL ASLEEP. Sean that is speaking of the patriarchs who were looking for the first coming of Messiah.
Also how many day of the Lord are found in the Bible? Day of the Lord to Judeans and Israelis meant judgement, and they all believed that is why Messiah would come in the first place. They weren't expecting a carpenter on a donkey, but a conqueror to destroy the Gentiles.

Carefully look at the context of the coming of the Lord my boy. Context, not opinion.

The "fathers" are the Apostolic fathers....

The fathers aren't the apostles, the fathers were the patriarchs. Peter is writing to a Judean audience and they wouldn't of seen "THE FATHERS" to mean the apostles. Which Peter was one. Did Peter consider himself as one of the "FATHERS?"

Re: Scoffers on AFF

Yep...context my boy!
