Until then, I will accept that Peter was writing his letter to the people he specifically addressed. That is why Peter, like, addressed a specific group of people, and stuff.
"a specific group of people, and stuff."??? "dogs"??
I have to wonder if your distorted reading of this passage proves you are not elected by God and predestined for Hell?
Obviously if you were fore-ordained for salvation you could not make such an obvious error.
I would pray for you...but since the Bible teaches God has hated you from the foundation of the world and can't wait to fry you in Hell...according to your own Calvinist doctrine that is..I will restrain my compassion.
Nah.
I am one of the people to whom Peter was writing. Me personally.
I am one "that have obtained like precious faith with" Peter (2 Peter 1:1).
I am numbered among the Elect.
And God is not willing that any of His Elect -- including me -- should perish.
Therefore, I won't perish. "For the promises of God are without repentance".
