2 Peter 2025

2 Pet 3:16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. Peter says that the patience of Elohim is our salvation. Then he goes into a very interesting warning. Peter states that Paul told them of these same things also in his letters. He then says that some of the things Paul states are hard to understand. He states that untaught and unstable men distort Paul's letters and the rest of the Scriptures to their own destruction. Men have been twisting the words of Paul and other Scriptures to line up with their pagan and evil traditions. Yeshua warned about forsaking the Torah of Elohim for the sake of man's traditions. Matt. 15:3 And He answered and said to them, “And why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? Mark 7:6-9 And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 7‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’ 8“Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.” 9He was also saying to them, “You nicely set aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.

2 Pet 1:9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. Those who lack these things are blind or short-sighted and has forgotten about purification from his former sins. If we know Him, we are to obey His Torah or else we are blind.
