13 2Peter 3:8-9 Free will and God’s sovereignty

January 23, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

2 Peter 3:8-9 features in the debate over God’s sovereignty and human free will. While this verse does not settle the debate, understanding what Peter means in context teaches us a lot about both good Bible study and the issues in the debate.

12 2Peter 3:1-7 The Point of it all

January 16, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

Peter argues that more than anything else we need to find life through forgiveness and to find fulfillment through righteousness. It is this hope that he wants us to remember such that we let it change our lives today.

11 2Peter 2:17-22 Freedom, slavery and sin

January 9, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

Peter warns that the false teachers are like springs without water, promising freedom but delivering destruction and he warns his readers not be deceived by their empty promises.

10 2Peter 2:13-16 Balaam and the false teachers

December 19, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Continuing his warnings about the false teachers, Peter uses of Balaam from Numbers 22-24. Like Balaam, the false teachers are profiting from causing the people of God to stumble.

09 2Peter 2:10-12 Who are the “glorious ones” and why are they reviled?

December 12, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

In the third major interpretative challenge of 2 Peter 2, we tackle the questions of who are the glorious ones, why would they be reviled and what does Peter want us to learn from this example?

08 2Peter 2:5-10 The Certainty of Judgment

December 5, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

The coming judgment of God is not a popular topic today. We prefer to emphasize God’s love instead. Yet Peter thought judgment was important enough to include in his final letter, so that would remember it long after he is gone.

07 2Peter 2:4 Does Peter quote Enoch?

November 28, 2018 by Krisan Marotta

Peter and Jude appear to be quoting the book of 1 Enoch, which is part of the psuedepigrapha. Why would they quote it? What does it mean when an apostle quotes from a non-biblical source? I think both Peter and Jude quote 1 Enoch, the way a teacher today might quote Harry Potter — to make a point based on popular culture.
