Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: 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 |
