NASB | 1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, ¶ To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 1:1 Peter, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Jesus Christ, To those [elect--both Jewish and Gentile believers] who live as exiles, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia [Minor], and Bithynia, who are chosen [Heb 13:14] |
Subject: Jewish believers or not |
Bible Note: Beja As you have said "Its not an issue of Hebrew Grammar" although the Hebrew Grammar did clear up the issue of who actually was being spoken to in Hosea 1:9 allow me to expand on your statement if I may. It's also not an issue of "Theology, or even the Promises of God" the issue at hand is the question I originally asked no.224482 if you or anyone else would care to answer this question It would be much appreciated. I asked this question in an attempt to ascertain whether or not Peter was possibly writing to Jewish believers in Christ that might have been caught up in the Diaspora. In my study I have found that it is unclear as to where Peter wrote this letter and that the date of his writing is unsure as well. To quell any misconceptions that might have occurred. I fully agree and whole heartedly concur with your statement regarding Dispensationalism. "In my opinion this thinking is demonstratively in opposition to what scripture teaches." I am not interested in furthering the discussion on the correctness of Gills Exposition as it is not germane to my question. I thank everyone that has participated in this thread and the opinions they expressed. At this point reread my question and if anyone would like to make a comment I thank you. Setonahill |
