2 Peter 1:4 (Amplified) By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promisses,so that through them you may escape(by flight)from the moral decay(rotteness and corruption)that is in the world because of covetousness(lust and greed)and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature. In this case I really like this version because it leaves little to the imagination.Now go to(Genesis 1:26,27) this passage fits very well with 2 Pt 1:4,it matches up very well.Understanding this passage will shed a lot of light on the verse you are asking about. Also refer to (Col 3:9,10 James 3:9) these verses will help offer some more clarity on things for you.Hope this helps. In Christ, lionheart |

FUTURES' How fitting a mame concidering the reference to 2 Pet.1:4.:) I'm just simply gonna quote my commentary on this one. "Through these" refers to God's "glory and goodness" or more generally to His salvation mediated through the Incarnation. So when Christ came at His 1st advent, God made certain promises (very great and precious) of the Messianic Age (3:9, 13) to be brought in when Christ returned. These promises enable Christians to "participate in the divine nature". How does this participation come about? In at least 2 ways: 1) The promises themselves have a purifying effect on a believers life (1 John 3:3). 2)Conversion entails a definite break with "the corruption...caused by evil desires". In coming to know God through Christ, believers escape the corruption of sin; and Christ renews and restores the image of God in them. (Expositor's Bible Commentary). Do you see why I said that your name was so fitting?:) In Christ, steve |

Amen. You just nailed it right on the head. Acts 17:11!:) I hope the day never comes when I think that someone can't teach me. Just dig my grave at that point. Because once I'm unteachable, I believe God will put me right on the shelf. I so agree with you brother! I love it too! In Christ, steve |
