 Let's go to 2nd Peter 2 1 but false prophets also arose among the people just as there will also be false teachers among you Who will secretly introduce destructive heresies? Even denying the master who bought them bringing swift destruction upon themselves now I want you to notice a couple of things. Maybe you all hopefully you all are seeing some little themes here Hope hopefully maybe that's the case. I hope so that is this A lot of the passages that are brought up are brought up speaking about someone leaving the teachings The tenets of the faith the core essentials what we believe in other words You can't be a Christian if you believe that Jesus is actually Muhammad in disguise You can't be a Christian if you believe it that all you have to do is stand on one leg and hop around like a bunny Something that's other than what the scriptures teach in other words You cannot have your own gospel. You cannot come up or formulate your own way of salvation Nor can you forget or depart from? What the Bible teaches and we see that so what does he say here in second in second Peter? He says but false prophets arose also arose among the people which people is he speaking of who? Do you think Peter has in mind when he says they also past tense arose amongst? the people the Jews We've been told that we know it's gonna happen now Peter is now This is kind of this this letter is in general But Peter still always has a an eye and ear towards towards Jews But this is also kind of all-inclusive so he says just as there will also be false teachers among you And what will the false teachers do they will teach something different? How do we know so because he says who will secretly introduce destructive heresies now where people think that? These people were saved because it uses word right here who were who bringing swift destruction upon themselves these people who are were bought? by the master But now here's a question though Does that necessarily mean that they were saved? No, it does not how do I know well? There are other passages that let us know that there are people who have been bought By the Lord as a matter of fact he is speaking of Israel We all would agree that God has taken measures to Bring them out and there's something that he always says about them Not meaning or implying that they are saved notice what he says he says in 32 5 He says they have acted corruptly towards him They are not his children because of their defect but are a perverse and crooked generation third verse 6 Do you thus repay the Lord oh foolish and unwise people is he not your father who has bought you? He has made you and established you now. What is he saying? He's not saying that these people are saved that they were all believers or that they were ever believed as a matter of fact He has called them a foolish a stiff neck as a matter of fact. He's called them treacherous He's called them unfaithful. He said that you they have no faith So he's not saying they once believed and stopped no He say especially them as a nation are there some inside of Israel who will go on to be saved Sure, but he's speaking holistically of them and he says so this term about those who once bought he always speaking up is what God has done for them one bringing them out and Making a way for them, but he's not saying that he has purchased their salvation. Amen
