Chapters 1-15

Read 7:00 pm MM: God demonstrates faithfulness, as seen in the fulfillment of promises, and shows humans His character, so that people can grow in the knowledge of God, enabling them to dismiss false prophets, and grow in faithfulness until glorification. I changed my MM to provide a more holistic message. My previous message did not weave together the ideas Peter presented. TSp Peter starts and ends with grace and knowledge. (1:1 and 3:18) Peter encourages readers to escape corruption. (1:4 and 3:17) Although Peter encourages faithful acts, he reminds readers that God gifts humanity with salvation. (1:3 and 3:15) Peter urges diligence from believers in both the beginning and end of his letter. (1:10 and 3:14) Peter mentions the arrival of God’s …show more content…

(v6) Why did Peter need to present a defense of God’s capabilities? (v9) What is “the lust of defiling passion?” (v10) Why would angels turn on God, knowing and experiencing him intimately? (Assuming angels can experience God intimately?) (v4) Why do false prophets intentionally harm others? (v14) Why does Peter use the story of Balaam and the donkey? (v15-16) Chapter 3 Do all books of the Bible mention the Day of the Lord? What kind of images and stories would pop into readers minds as they read this letter? Is the whole goal of 2 Peter to educate believers so that they grow in the knowledge of God? What commandment is Peter referring to? (v2) How does Peter know that the present earth and heavens are stored up for fire? (v7) Why, in the midst of a discussion on the false prophets, does Peter begin telling people what to do for the Day of the Lord? (v11) Is false prophets or the Day of the Lord Peter’s main focus? Why doesn’t Peter verbally refer to any other apostles writing as he did with Paul? (v15) What things are hard to understand? (v16) Does Peter provide readers with a way to determine false from true prophets?

    Nevertheless, Peter, who represents “youth and joy” himself, does not have many worries and seems to be the only character that truly enjoys life. He has character traits that people seem to lose during growing up, namely “cockiness” and a great self-confidence. His bravery and courage manifested in the sense that he believes that everything is possible and he is capable of doing everything. It is ambiguous that such, at first sight, bad character traits are “his most fascinating qualities”.

    6-10) we can see the future hope Paul is talking about. Because of the future hope that is before him Paul can make it his aim to be pleasing to God. In verses 6-10 Paul expresses the courage which he has because of this promise and what he is working towards before he reaches that hope. In other words, he can give himself to gospel ministry because of this future hope. This section will argue that Paul sees the future hope as a base for the courage to do his ministry.

    Peter, by these condemnations, believes in the importance of the dialogue between the different faiths. He refutes any call to deepen the gap between religions because he considers it the main reason of the intolerance and hatred people of different faiths express against each other. He mentions” ACT tries to dissuade Jews and Christians from conducting interfaith dialogue with Muslims.” Furthermore, the political involvement the American Congress For Truth (ACT), is very hazardous. He lists different politicians, who hold very critical positions in the government and are part of ACT, such as Michael Flynn, CIA director Mike Pompeo, counterterrorism advisor Sebastian Gorka….

    Peter, after he read this book we would discuss how the book has a polythetic view compared to Catholic beliefs.(question 7) We would also talk about virtues and vices emphasizing on how morals have troubles with sin. Reflecting on his own journey of faith and difficulties, we would also talk about the lessons of faith and trust in the book similar to when Penelope put her trust in Odysseus and had faith he would return. We would compare St. Peter's journey of faith as well as Odysseus' journey of faith.   We would talk about the importance of our faith in God just how Penelope put her faith in Odysseus. Aside from faith we would talk about the importance of forgiveness and second chances.

    There are many factors that lead people to believe that this answer is the most logical and, subsequently, most likely to be accurate. However, this theory also has its challenges. One of which is the length of time that Paul was in Rome. This period is roughly two years. The amount of visits that took place to and from Philippi during that time would have difficult to take place in such a relatively short span of time.

    At first, the passage seems centered around Peter trying to show Anna how he is a different person now. Twice, he brings up how he was in the past, first by saying “I’m not the night owl I was,” and second by saying, “it’s not egocentric and selfish, the way I used to be.” However, his actions in the passage suggest otherwise. He spends the passage boosting his own ego and making Anna do the same for him. Peter speaks highly of himself by jumping from subject to subject, first talking about food, then no longer being a night owl, then back to food and then onto sunlight.

    [...] I want to save mankind from self-destruction.” (167) Peter’s reasoning behind his plan is that manipulating the adults to believe the political views they have is worth it because it means that Peter’s hunger for power and control will be satiated and a potential war will be avoided. This illustrates how manipulation is condoned if it is for the greater common good because the outcome of humankind being at peace under Peter’s rule is considered to be more significant than lying to people and adopting false

  • Narrative That Underlies One Peter And Shapes The Theological Content Of The Letter

    185 Words  | 1 Pages

    This is another attempt to sketch the eschatological narrative that underlies 1 Peter and shapes the theological content of the Letter. Those circumstances are narratively or dynamically or historically constructed; and the theological content is what Peter has to say in the light of that construction. They make it clear that the Letter was written to address the present situation of a particular group of churches in the light of an impending event. Peter carefully explains why: it is so that their faith may result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ 1:7). In the second passage Peter emphasizes that they still face a fiery trial 4:12), but the end of all things is at hand 4:7), and he assures them that they have

    The author of this letter introduced himself as “Semeon Peter, slave and apostle of Jesus Christ 1” (2 Pet.1:1)2. Peter used a Hebraic form of his name which is never used concerning him in the Apostolic Fathers or psuedepigraphic Petrine literature, it only occurs in Acts 15:143, where it clearly points to Peter as an apostle of Jesus Christ, one of the twelve. “An imitator of Peter… would hardly use this spelling; especially since he was trying to link his letter with 1 Peter where the simple Πέτρος was used.4 Peter also mentions that he would die soon, just as the Lord revealed to him (1:14), this can be linked to John 21:18-19, but it does not means that Peter was depending on John.5 “If Peter actually heard Jesus prophesy his death, Peter
