1 | Who are the mockers, evolutionists? | 2 Pet 3:3 | Makarios | 27551 | ||
Greetings Pastor John! Here's the commentary quote from Zondervan's NASB Study Bible.. "mockers will come. Perhaps the same false teachers described in ch. 2 (e.g., they follow their own evil desires; cf. 2:10, 18-19). In ch. 3, however, the emphasis is on Christ's return. These people may have been early Gnostics who resisted the idea of a time of judgment and moral accountability." Blessings to you, Nolan |

2 | Who are the mockers, evolutionists? | 2 Pet 3:3 | Pastor John | 27559 | ||
Thanks Nolan, but let's notice the following verses, 2 Peter 3:4-7. The mockers talk about everything continuing the same since the beginning of creation. The two things that they do not take into account seem to be the Biblical details about the creation of the earth itself and the flood, presumably Noah's flood. Since those two events are major cataclysms, I wonder if the mockers who will come should be seen as uniformitarian evolutionists who deny the significance specifically of the Biblical Creation and Flood accounts.

3 | Who are the mockers, evolutionists? | 2 Pet 3:3 | Makarios | 27700 | ||
Greetings Pastor John! Excellent insight! Yes, 2 Peter 3:4-7 does draw out a sense that these mockers will not believe (v. 4) and maintain that unbelief (v. 5), while ignoring the creation and the flood (v. 6). This description would just "fit" that of present day evolutionists who deny both the creation and the flood. And yes! These are both major clamactic events, with the Second Coming as being THE Event. I appreciate your insight here, since you have now helped me to see these verses in an entirely new way! :-) I also believe that the Second Coming of Jesus could happen at any moment, even before I finish writing this post! Blessings to you, Nolan |
