06 2 Peter 2:1-3 Why 2 Peter 2 and Jude are similar




Wednesday in the Word with Krisan Marotta show

Summary: 2 Peter 2 begins a new topic: the coming judgment. While the main point of the chapter is fairly clear, the way Peter makes his point presents some interpretative challenges: 1) 2 Peter 2 focuses on judgment -- an unpopular topic for today's American church. 2) 2 Peter 2 and the Epistle of Jude presents the same ideas in the same order and often use the same words. Did Peter copy from Jude? Did Jude copy from Peter? Or did they both copy from someone else? 3) Both Peter and Jude appear to quote from a non-biblical source.
