Subject: Two aspects of the will of God |
Bible Note: As always, I was following this issue and came across your writing. First, I assume that Peter has only one given name that is "Peter" and not "Peter Paul." Just kidding my friend ... because you kept on referring to the writer of 2Peter as Paul? Unless I'm wrong that actually it was Paul who wrote it. Well, I have a question for you in this verse: 2 Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward YOU, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance As you have said "YOU" refers to the beloved (in 2Pt. 3:8). I assume that these beloved are all Christians. My question is "Who are to perish if all the 'beloved' are Christians?" I assume these 'beloved' belongs to the 'chosen' ones. If none of the 'beloved' will perish, then who is God waiting for repentance? I assume those people who need repentance are not saved yet. Romans |
