2 Peter (40)
-
False Prophet, False Teachers (2:15-16)
Balaam was a true prophet who used his God-given gift for wicked purposes. The false teachers of Peter's day were gifted too - but equally wicked.
-
The promise of freedom (2:14-16)
The false teachers talked about Christian freedom. But did they mean freedom from sin or freedom to sin?
-
Antinomians: Superhuman or Subhuman? (2:12-13)
The antinomian false teachers claimed to have superhuman knowledge and authority. But Peter calls them greedy animals.
-
Blaspheming the Glories (2:10-16)
The false teachers despised and insulted the great Powers of evil. True Christians know that Satan and his allies are very powerful and cunning. We hate the devil and his angels, but we should also fear them.
-
Prophets of Immorality (2:4-10)
God promises to bring disaster on those who promote immorality. But does he really mean it? Look to the past and see!
