4 From the Book of 2 Peter is: 2 Peter 3:1-10
WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL AND BLESSED 2018
1- What
arguments do the scoffers of verse 3 use? What is the best defence against them
(verse 2)?
2- In verses
5-7 Peter refutes the scoffers by reference to the unfailing fulfilment of
God’s word. Explain from these three verses how the words and actions of God in
the past assure us that in the future He will again do what He has said. Is
there a similarity between the people of Noah’s day and our own (cf. Mt.
24:37-39)?
3- Why is ‘the
day’ so slow in coming (verse 9)? Cf. Ezk. 18:23, 32.
Note.
Verse 10. 'Elements’: the material elements of the universe; but as many think,
with specific reference to the heavenly bodies.
