2 Peter 1

12/3/2012

 
Click here to read today's passage on Bible Gateway.

Introduction to 2 Peter
Starting a new book today!  Second Peter's and interesting little letter that has a lot of shared content with Jude - a lot about looking out for false teachers.  If you have questions, let me know!  Without further ado:

"RECIPIENTS
    A.      If I Peter is referred to in II Peter 3:1 then the recipients would be the same (i.e. northern Turkey).

    B.      II Peter may be a testimonial to encourage all believers to persevere under trial, resist false teachers, and live faithfully in the gospel tradition in anticipation of the Second Coming.


OCCASION
    A.      As I Peter addresses persecution and suffering, II Peter addresses false teachers.

    B.      The exact nature of the false teaching is uncertain, but it may be related to antinomian gnosticism (cf. 2:1–22; 3:15–18). This book uses technical vocabulary employed by both incipient gnosticism and the mystery religions. This may have been a purposeful apologetic technique attacking their theology.

    C.      This book, like II Thessalonians, addresses the subject of a delayed, but certain, Second Coming, wherein God’s children will be glorified and unbelievers judged (cf. 3:3–4). It is interesting that I Peter characteristically uses the term apocalupsis to refer to Jesus’ return, while II Peter uses parousia. This possibly reflects the use of different scribes (i.e. Jerome).

the false teachers’ “condemnation” from the past

[they] “deny” the “Sovereign [and] Lord”

angels confined for judgment—“gloomy” (2 Peter) and “darkness” (Jude) translate the same Greek word (zophos)

Sodom and Gomorrah as examples of judgment of gross evil

[they] “reject [Jude]/despise [2 Peter] authority”

[they] “slander celestial beings”

angels do not bring “slanderous accusation[s]”

[the false teachers are] “blemishes”

Jude: “clouds without rain, blown along by the wind”

Peter: “springs without water and mists driven by a storm”

“scoffers” following “their own evil [Peter]/ungodly [Jude] desires”

Wow, I just realized that it is December now. I guess this blog will be finishing up the New Testament by the end of the month? The time went by fast.

In some ways it went fast for me, in other ways it seems like we've been doing this for a really long time.

What should we do next? Old Testament in 2 years?

OT in 2 years sounds great

Oh, and I see MOO! in the references. MOO!

MOO!

I was wondering if/when you would notice that.

Wow, the possibilities are endless...

So if Douglas MOO lives in my house, then I will never need to buy milk again. If Douglas MOO lives in Duck's house, he will never need to buy Duck again. If Douglas MOO lives in Solid Snake's house, MOO will never need to buy milk again. If Douglas MOO lives in Pastor Greg's house, he will never have to buy milk again. If Douglas MOO lives in Stuart's house, he will never have to buy Stuart again. But if Douglas MOO lives in Baywatch's house, he will join the National Rifle Association along with Solid Snake?
