Apologetics Forum: Ask questions about Christianity/Debate doctrinesBeware of this Different Gospel of ChristReally? We can find out exactly what 2 Peter 1:1 really means. Your comparing the Grammatical structure of 1 Timothy and Jude 24,25 to 2 Peter 1:1? They are not the same, however James 1:27 and 2 Peter 1:1 are. Since you seem to have a problem with the KJV, lets take a look at the version you use, the NAS. Lets take a look at 2 Peter 1:1 according to the New American Standard Version of the bible. Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: (2 Peter 1:1 NAS) Now take a look at the New American Standard Version of James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. (James 1:27 NAS) Is "God and Father" the same person in James 1:27? Without taking it out of "context", they sure are! Now in all honesty, is "God and Savior" the same person in 2 Peter 1:1? If you have the audacity to say that Jesus is not "God and Savior" in 2 Peter 1:1 and yet state that James 1:27 implies that God and Father are the same person, then I pity you. So whose guilty of taking verses out of context? Now let me ask you, is Jesus "God and Savior" according to 2 Peter 1:1? As for the reason for me laughing, you accuse others of taking verses out of context while you are the one who is doing such. |
