2 Peter is the last will and testament of the apostle Peter, but was probably composed within two decades after his death. No book in the Bible had more difficulty establishing itself in the canon.

You mean your Catholic canon...It's in my bible...That means it is part of the bible canon...

b. The first generation of christians (here called "the fathers") had already died

2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Here's a little secret...The Old Testament Jews were looking for the coming of their Messiah...That's what this verse is referring to...

2Pe 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

The holy prophets were the 'fathers'...

Furthermore, do you ever read the links or posts or the Bible? As I linked and pasted in the above post, this is what Biblical scholars have written about 2 Peter. Do you believe that your individual interpretation is better? And these aren’t Catholic Biblical scholars
