2nd Peter Chapter 2

2 Peter 2. Teaching:

Characteristics of false teachers:

-deny the Lord

-speak evil of dignities

-speak evil of things they don’t understand

-beguile unstable souls

-speak words of vanity

-allure lusts of the flesh

Dangers of returning to the “pollutions of the world”: (old ways or habits)

-The Lord is so merciful and knowledge is a great power and gift to him. If someone does not have a testimony or knowledge of something the Lord will not hold them accountable for it. When someone has been blessed with knowledge and God knows that they truly understand it and they still go against what they know is right, that is when they are in trouble. It would be better that they never knew the truth than to know and go back to their evil ways.

HEBREWS 13

A SUMMARY OF HEBREWS 13 AND WHAT I LEARNED FROM IT. :)

·     -   We need to “entertain” strangers because we never know what someone is going through and Christ would love everyone.We need to remember those who are in bonds and treat them how we would want to be treated if we were in the same position.

·      --  Marriage is honorable as long as it is sacred and not defiled.

·       - Our conversations and thoughts should not be covetous, we need to be content with what we have, because the Lord will never forget or forsake us.

·        -God is the same yesterday, to day, and forever, which means that is justice and rules and covenants will never change and he will treat everyone the same.

·      -  We are sanctified through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us.

·    -    We need to obey those that rule over us and we need to be positive about it, because they have taken upon them our lives so it is on their hands what happens to us.

·     -   Pray for everyone, the rulers and the Prophets and all people.
