2 Peter 3

[Amanah]

My comments on 2 Peter after reading the thread responses and reading 2 Peter again:

Peter is writing to the church to remind them that they have been given the divine nature so that they can overcome worldly lust so that they can make their calling and election sure.

Peter is getting ready to die and wants to remind them of what he taught them. They are not to follow fables and false teachers.

Peter witnessed Jesus being transfigured on the mount. Peter is an eyewitness. So, he is a credible.

Damnable heresies are the issue. People denying the Lord Jesus who bought them. These false teachers are going to be judged, just like the people in Noah's time were judged. People who are saying to live in sin because the Lord did not come and will not come. Also some are backsliding because of the false teachers and returning to their sin.

People are saying that nothing has changed since the beginning of time, so Jesus was not the fulfillment of the promises of the fathers.

God is patient and long suffering with judgment, but those who teach false doctrine, or return to their sin like dogs to their vomit are going to be judged just as the people in Noah's day were judged.

So, be careful that you are not also led into error and judgment.
