Theology

False teachers always have an angle that slants in their favor. And the teachers Peter warned his readers about were coming into town for personal profit.

Since the beginning of time, they have been around. They come from every race. They have lived in every century. They have penetrated every culture. They have whispered their message behind closed doors and shouted it from the street corners. They have spread their poison one-on-one and before groups of thousands. They have used tablets, scrolls, books, radio, television, and the Internet to mislead anyone who will listen. False teachers have been and always will be among us.

OK, time for some theology. Put today’s passage under the heading “Inspiration of Scripture.” Peter’s words here serve as a proof text verifying God as the author of the Bible by using the pen and personalities of men. Check out this passage.
