1 | The error addressed in 2 Peter | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 224771 | ||
Am I wrong to think that the driving concern/error being addressed in 2 Peter is anitnomianism? To me it seems to absolutely be so yet I have not seen any commentators view it as such yet. Here are verses to notice throughout the book. Especially note 2Pet 3:17,18 where the final exhortation is not to be carried away by the error of lawless people. 2Peter 1:3,4,9,12 2:2,9,10,13,14,15,18,19,20-22 3:11,14,17 In Christ, Beja |

Good morning Beja, This is probably NOT the answer you are looking for, but here goes: Whenever I see the terms "law," "lawless," etc. in the NT, I substitute with the terms Torah, Torahless. Most people, even way bach when, abide by the laws of their dwelling, so law and lawlessness must refer to something else entirely. I'm not certain what antinomanianism (or nomanianism) is but I believe that the standard God set before Israel is for all redeemed people. (It's not a "pick and choose" sort of thing, but obviously not all commands are for everyone at any given time - but God's Torah is still alive and well.) Just my 2 cents worth |

Ariel, Allow me to rephrase the question then. Do you think that the error being addressed is that they were living out the idea that since we are under grace we need not worry about avoiding sin. In Christ, Beja |

Dear Beja, You're talking to a Torah-observant follower of Messiah! Of course I quote James 2:14-24 and Rev. 19:8 quite often. Even adding love to the equation is hollow if there are no works to show that faith and love. I don't intend to be naked in the world to come! Unfortunately, I do believe that there are many christians who do believe that because we are under grace we don't need to worry about sin - that somehow we are immune to it or the Holy Spirit just won't let us do the deed, but that is foolishness. I think Peter was warning against such folly. Shalom |
