You'd think they'd never read what Peter wrote on these topics?
II Peter 2
1b. There shall be false teachers among you
1c. Who privily shall bring in damnable heresies
1d. Even denying the Lord that bought them
1e. And bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2a. And many shall follow their pernicious ways
2b. By reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3a. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you.…
4a. For if God spared not the angels that sinned.…
5a. And spared not the old world
5b. But saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness.…
6a. And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow.…
7a. And delivered just Lot
7b. Vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked,
9.. The Lord knoweth how to.….reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished
10a But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness
verse 1
Of all damnable heresies the one condemned most robustly in God's Actual Word is the manufacture of idols. Popes have a different opinion, denying the very definition of an idol, quite apart from what they do with them once manufactured.
verse 2
How often do we hear about the number of idolators in this heretical creed? Having saturated their temples with idols (as defined by God) what else do they worship? Yes. Popes! By following
their pernicious ways.
verse 3
So perfectly describing popery – I've just underlined it.
verses 5 & 6
There is righteousness and there's its antithesis. Noah understood that when all around him was about to be destroyed. Later on the debauch would take off in
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha, calling down a thorough blast from God.
verse 7
Here Peter goes out of his way to identify filth. Now that
angeligender has emerged as an "identity" it will be easier for those wishing to pollute an angel to find one (within their mutual delusion) but Lot was not deluded and went to very considerable lengths to avoid contamination is this respect. Peter is referring to
Genesis 19.
verses 9 & 10
Peter is using an
if…………then..format here.
IF angels, the old world, the Sodomites, their co-debauchees (Gomorrha) and filthy conversations (
e.g. social media) were not overlooked
THEN you can bet your sweet Nellie that God knows what to do about the antics foretold by Peter and described in this thread!
You'd thing a pope would have read Peter. The way they go on about him. But either they never
bother to read his epistles or they do but are so deluded the can't see the forest for all the trees.
