“So much for the entire book of 2 Peter, then. Any other Scripture you tend to toss out?”

Just as Revelation was written to the seven churches in Asia Minor, AND NOT TO US, Peter didn’t write his letters to us, either.

This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 Peter 3:1 (NASB)

Second letter “to you?” Hmmm...Guess we better see to whom he addressed the first letter, huh?

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia...1 Peter 1:1 (NASB)

If you’re a Bithnyian and lived almost 2,000 years ago, then yes, this letter was written to you.

If not, be careful how you apply it to today.

Do you even know the subject of 2 Peter? He was writing it to address the very heresy you are espousing today--that Christ isn't coming back.

Your beliefs are not new, nor are they remotely acceptable to the original Apostles.
