Where were the saints promised that they would be "bodily resurrected immortal and incorruptible physically"? Is that the true nature of the resurrection?

Most of the major translations render the Greek word "chronos" as "delay." The angel indicated that the end (which Peter spoke of) was so near that there would be "delay no longer." This has nothing to do with the end of time--it is about the "end of all things" (1 Peter 4:7).pertaining to the...

Again, Scott--context. Who are the "beloved"? Peter is writing to the Jews of the Dispersion--people of his own day. They were "looking forward to these things." They were to "be diligent to be found in Him" at His coming. I'm not sure why you highlighted "which untaught and unstable people...

The Greek word for "elements" here is stoicheia. It is used several other times in the NT to describe wordly philosophies and the principles of the world. It is NEVER used of the physical, chemical make up of the earth. The "elements" that were to burn pertained to the "old heavens and earth"...

And in ALL of those scenarios, the physical heavens and earth remained. They were not destroyed. In the Flood, the "heavens and earth" wee not destroyed--the wicked people were. God created NO "new heavens and earth" after the Flood. The waters simply receded and the same heavens and earth were...

What generaton is Luke referring to, Scott. He uses the same expression ("this generation") here as Matthew used in Matthew 24:34. Jesus was rejected by the same "this generation" He was going to return to.

No one knew the "day and hour" BUT they knew the generation. Jesus had told them the generation when He said to them: "THIS generation will by no means pass away until all these things take place" (Mat. 24:34). Notice also that THEY were to be ready. He would come to THEM at an hour they did...

I would submit that the Bible often contains types and antitypes. In 2 Peter 3, the passing away of the earth in the Flood is given as a type of the passing away of the Old Covenant economy (the antitype). The means of destruction of the "old heavens and earth" is very significant when one views...

Why would "that first-century apostate generation of Jews" be "the scapegoat"?

There is NO "end of the world," Sdott. The Bible speak of the "time of the end." Big difference. Peter placed the timing of that "time of the end" in his own day. He wrote that it was THEN near. "The END of ALL THINGS is AT HAND" (1 Peter 4:7). How much clearer could he have stated it?

Peter wrote about the "end"--the end of THEIR world, , that is, the world of the Old Covenant and Mosaic Age. He stated: "The end of ALL things is AT HAND" (1 Peter 4:7). The end was near in Peter's own day. There is no "end of the world." Jesus spoke about this in Matthew 13 when dealing...

He still have not told me what the "last day" means.

And you should disagree with it. Realized eschatology is NOT "replacement theology," Randy. It is FULFILLMENT theology. The beginning of God's people is found Adam. It is reaffirmed in Noah and then in Abram, through whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed (Gen. 12). God created a...

What is the "last day," Scott? THEY were so far into the "last days" that Peter wrote: "Little children, it is the last HOUR" (1 John 2:18). THEIR salvation drew near. Their anticipation was the "end of the age" of the Old Covenant/the Mosaic Age. THAT age had a "last day" and a "last...

Let's attempt to establish the context here. Paul and those of his day were "groaning" and "eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption." That was THEIR hope--"Hope deferred makes the heart sick" (Prov. 13:12). Did they hope in vain? Also, according to the Greek text, as presented by...

The "end" of what? Scripture please.

I agree.

Please read Hebrews 9 where it is clear that Jesus entered the heavenly Holy of Holies "by means of His own blood." What was finished on the cross was the slaying of the sacrifice. Just as the earthly high priest took the shed blood of the sacrificial lamb into the Most Holy Place of the...

What is the context, Scott? There were some of Paul's own day claiming that the resurrection was already past. IF they understood the resurrecion as bodies popping up out of the ground, how in the world could anyone have believed that? They would not. It is obvious that Paul and those of his...

Why did Peter write the second letter to THEM? He sought to stir up their remembrance of what the prophets had told them and the "commandments of the Lord and Savior" through their apostles" (2 Peter 3:1-3). THEY were in the last days (see Heb. 1) and the scoffers Peter mentioned were of THEIR...
