Just this one last thing, this portion of Peter's letter, he tells us who he means,It sure can.
2 Peter 2:20-22
King James Version
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter 2:9-10 KJV
9) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10) But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
And as he goes on, he continues to speak of these. Knowing the truth and obeying the truth are very different.
"The dog" has returned to it's vomit. There was no change. Take a dog, clean it up, train it to act nice, but let it off your leash, and it will run with the pack, and lap up it's vomit.
Ew!
Much love!
