Excellent teaching. Never heard of Dr. Smith until today, but I want to hear more of his teaching after listening to this. It's so important to proclaim the authority of God's Word as the world grows darker. God will judge us all. The only safety on that Great Day will be knowing God as your Father, because you have put your faith in His Son, Jesus the Anointed One. If He is not your Advocate on the Great Day, you will be found guilty. Read the Bible. Follow only those leaders who affirm that the Bible is God's holy Book and that every word of it is from God.
Thank you for your diligence and spiritual discipline Dr Randal. You are wonderful example to Bible teachers of what it means to be a very good steward and student of God’s Word, rightly dividing the Word of truth. [2 Timothy 2:15] So many do not understand that a presentation like the one you gave takes hours of preparation. Thank you for all your hard work and time that you give to the study of God’s Word. Your excellent and passionate presentation of 2nd Peter is such a help as I seek to teach our congregation the very precious truths that Peter alludes us to. May the Lord continue to bless your family and your ministry. Kind regards Brett from Cape Town South Africa🙏💒
Thank you brother for your fidelity to Gods word. I have been a believer for many years and oh how immature I am. Praise the Lord that he keeps me and helps me to grow.
I love Peters Letters. I can identify with him as a person and his personality. I am not an expert of anything - but I believe I have a heart to step out of the boat.
SECOND PETER Peter recognizes that he is facing death. Three Models or Pictures.
Chapter 1. Model of mature and secure believer . A. Parameters: Peter establishes the audience. V. 1-2. B. Provisions: what God provides to enable a believer to follow Him. Immediate blessings. V. 3-4. 1. Empowering knowledge 2. New nature by surrending to Christ 3. Peace 4. Security C. Process of following God - the heart of this chapter. V. 5-7. Like a recipe. Follow it in order, diligently: 1. Faith 2. Purity 3. Learning strategies. Fellowship is crucial 4. Self-control, mastering one's impulses 5. Perseverance 6. Reverence 7. Brotherly kindness - it is not the first step 8. Unconditional love - learn how to do it D. Promises for those who follow Him. V. 8-15. 1. Productivity - usefulness and fruitfulness 2. Vision 3. Assurance of purification (assurance of salvation) E. Privileges for those who follow Him. V. 16-21. 1. Assurance that our work will not die with us 2. We get to see God's word working in the lives of others Chapter 2. Picture of deceptive, infiltrating teachers. A warning to be heeded. False teachers will get into the church, and even into the pulpit Worms grow inside the apple (and the church), as Satan was allowed into the Garden of Eden They teach correct biblical doctrine and then insert false teaching Freedom in Christ is for the purpose of serving and pleasing God, not ourselves Motive: greed End: judgement God can defend His own work in the church Disregard for the spiritual world - careless speaking Don't really know how things work In the absence of truth, people will consume lies Chapter 3. Frieze scene of Final Judgement . As the end approaches, people will mock the idea of judgement . There are four steps to prepare the judgement:
1. v. 1-2. Get your facts straight - from the Word, not from Hollywood (popular culture).
2. v. 3-7. Do not expect the crowd to go along with you. People who love sensuality hate accountability. Modernity does not accept (the truth of) depravity, preferring to believe that mankind is innately good, not evil. 3. v. 8-9. Do not be disheartened by the Lord's delays. Every delay creates an opportunity for people to come to repentance.
4. v. 11. We should be changed by the knowledge of His promise, and not need to see more. Live right now as if there is a heaven (there is). Your faith should be able to "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'."
I really enjoyed this video. Although I disagree about the discussion of Chapter 3, which I believe was about the 70 AD coming of Christ and destruction of Jerusalem, not the one in our future.
Love you brother! We contend for the faith is Jude said in the last epistle. Strange man have crept in. They were apostoles better yet they were disciples. That's a difference a disciple is directly taught by the Messiah. Given the Great Commission to go out and preach the good news. Direct teaching 3 years with Jesus directly. They said it's false teachers among them? That means they were trying to deceive the very elect! I love you brother. Until they put their stamp on it they think you're not right but when you follow Jesus Christ in his word you have the witness in yourself because you follow the word of God which is the red letters in the New Testament which is Jesus Christ he will guide you if you seek him in his word
Wow! Michigan. Love you brother. Excellent job on second Peter. Only thing I would say pay close attention to is in the first chapter of Second Epistle of Peter when Peter says he that lack these things is blind! That means he can't see. And has forgotten Peter continues that he was purged from his old sins. That means my friends it takes time to get rid of sins you been doing for a long time and if you don't have patience you will be snapping on people telling people they're not saved because you forgot you had to grow into this. That's what Peter is saying my friend not that's a man has no clue. Remember Jesus is salvation we're not showing no one under the bus we're trying to get you from under the bus. A lot of times those that have been saved are not patient with new converts. That's what Peter was saying and when he goes on to talk about we have not follow cunningly devised Fables? We know fables are made up stories and we know cunningly are cleverly made up stories! Peter was talking about people who say that they have met Jesus and Peter knows that they do not know the Lord Jesus because Peter was a true disciple. You can say you had a vision and you have a revelation but Peter knew Jesus personally Jesus gave him that name. You can say oh Jesus gave me a name also! That's up to you to say all I know if it's not true it'll come out. Jesus said let the wheat and the tare grow together. Peter is talking about false teachers claiming to be teachers of Christ and Peter doesn't even know who they are and he knows their teachings are not Christ teachings
Yes I agree you just preached the sermon and you don't see your own conclusion? It's right there. Peter said he was with Jesus in the mountain meaning he has a more sure word of Prophecy what you do well to take heed. Then in chapter 2 in the beginning he says but there were false prophets amongst the people. Peter was saying he sees false Brethren and right amongst them claiming to be like them. That's what the word feign means duplicate I'm of the faith too. Pernicious means unlawful. Presumptuous means they will say anything that is not befitting to say yet they can't control themselves because they have forgotten what they were even serving. Peter's calls them brute Beast because they pick back up their worldly ways and they were right amongst them looking at the people as merchandise to take over the church. It's all right there. You don't have the church which is the building. That's why Steven said before they Stone him the spirit of God dwells not in temples made by hands. You have no church to throw me out of because the Lord is welcome in my heart
37:00 the original King James is feign words. That means similar not fake. Therefore they say we have the Holy Spirit to we are saved to I've been washed in the blood of the lamb. The original King James the words mean something. They are diluting the word folks. Peter says many shall follow their pernicious ways. Pernicious means self-willed unlawful unrestrained mouth. Byway the truth shall be evil spoken of? Means they're going to take Jesus out of context. They're going to take Jesus teachings and use them improperly. Blessings and cursings on people.?. They have made you their merchandise. They coveted the disciples position. They want Moses seat. They were never taught by the Lord and here they are trying to take over the disciples? This is before the disciples ever died! Peter said they were false teachers among them! Peter said in the first chapter I know Jesus we were with him. And you say you know Jesus and you not acting like him? You have none of his attributes. Yet you say you know the Lord Jesus. And you fight one another and you separate people from your company and you teach peer pressure amongst people if there assumed to be sinners? Jesus said they will separate you from their company. Jesus said the time will come that they that persecute you would do God favor. Jesus said these things that would do because they never knew me. Jesus said he's going to convict the world of sin of righteousness and of judgement. Because they're not following Jesus.
39:10 presumptuous and self-willed. Presumptuous is self-willed the Bible explains itself if you always keep on reading and read what you read previously in the beginning the Bible will explain itself. Peter is Saying they possess none of the qualities he said in the first chapter. Presumptuous is a man that will offend the pastor that will offend the first lady or the Deacon or the president. Presumptuous is a man that will offend you or your children in word or deed. That's why Peter said Michael would not bring a railing accusation. Presumptuous is just a mean man that will say anything out of his mouth that has no ordinary place to be said. Absurd shock jocks. Someone on a Podium or preaching that outright or finding people! That's presumptuous. We are losing stuff people in the new translations because the original King James translation is undiluted Like Liquor. Anytime you put a cut on it it is diluted and weak. So my friend while you are preaching make sure you turn it down a bit so we can keep walking in those attributes we heard in the beginning Second Epistle Peter chapter 1. We are all sinners right? Who repent of our sins right? I sure do. And that's what Peter is saying don't forget you were purged from your old ways. But if you pick your old ways back up? You will bring that hate right in the church? And we are the church people! We will start treating people like we used to treat them if we return to our vomit. False accusations. Complaining saying things with our mouths. Discontent and Discord. Where is the Lovin That. Peter is saying this man or whoever this person is is not one of them. And the thing about it is it was so dangerous for Peter that he had to say it and that's about all he could say because the Lord knew all things. I pray you learn the Lord Jesus I pray you're not going the wrong way. The enemy took over the church before the disciples died
Latin vulgate 2nd Peter 1:19 "Let Lucifer rise in your hearts." All stars are fallen angels ✡️ his number is 6pointx6&6 star fallen from heaven. Daystar also means Lucifer. Halaluja in Latin means "praise ye Bright Mourning Star Lucifer." The True Living God is in 2nd Enoch 20:3. The god of the Bi Baal is lucifer 💯 fact. New Testament is added books to sealed scriptures. "The devil comes to change the laws." "He deceived the entire world." Christianity is the Mass of the world right now.

1. Empowering knowledge
2. New nature by surrending to Christ

Chapter 2. Picture of deceptive, infiltrating teachers. A warning to be heeded.
False teachers will get into the church, and even into the pulpit
Worms grow inside the apple (and the church), as Satan was allowed into the Garden of Eden
They teach correct biblical doctrine and then insert false teaching
Freedom in Christ is for the purpose of serving and pleasing God, not ourselves
Motive: greed
End: judgement
God can defend His own work in the church
Disregard for the spiritual world - careless speaking
Don't really know how things work
In the absence of truth, people will consume lies
Chapter 3. Frieze scene of Final Judgement
.
As the end approaches, people will mock the idea of judgement
.
There are four steps to prepare the judgement:
1. v. 1-2. Get your facts straight - from the Word, not from Hollywood (popular culture).

51:30... I believe he's saying beware of the teachings of Paul. 2nd Peter chapter 2 false prophets among the people
Where in NJ are you? R u affiliated with a church? I’m in nj!
Love you brother! We contend for the faith is Jude said in the last epistle. Strange man have crept in. They were apostoles better yet they were disciples.

How to wrongly divide 101. Apply an entire book to the church, the body of Christ that is not mentioned once.
