These are my thoughts, please share yours.

3 There will be and there are many that make fun of Christians for following Christ and those who make fun of a faith in anything bigger than them, today we see people who think they are to smart to accept God or anything false god as well they reject anything that takes faith. Those of the world at one time had a respect for the church but that time is gone and they do what they want no matter who it hurts. Lusts here is talking about any fleshly desire, the sad thing is those who say they are His live this way.

4 There will be those who will mock because we are waiting on His return, He will return in His time not in our time, or when we want Him to return.

5 These people do not do Christ if they did they would never do this. God created the world by speaking; this is the power of God that they do not know.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mark 2:19; 2 Peter 3:1-2

Mark 2:19

KJV 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

KJ2000 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

These are my thoughts.

Jesus is our Bridegroom and we the church our His bride.

2 Peter 3:1-2King James Version (KJV)

3 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

²That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

2 Peter 3:1-221st Century King James Version (KJ21)

3 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you, in both of which I stir up your purity of mind by way of remembrance,

²that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

1 This shows that he wrote 1^st Peter as well. There is not many times in scripture they mention how much they wrote, this is differently. This also shows that Peter wrote it to the same people. We should be shaken up and stirred up at times for Christ. Christ allows us to become pure.

2 We need to remember the words the Lord has given us, the scriptures. The bible came to us by the prophets, by priests and by others including kings and the followers of Christ that followed before us. All the word bring honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. From the beginning to the end it is a story about Christ’s love and our need for Him.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mark 2:18; 2 Peter 2:21-22

Mark 2:18

KJV 18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

Recovery Version

Mark 2:18 18 And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting. And they came and said to Him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?

These are my thoughts.

People came and questioned Jesus; they will question what we do as well and also compare ourselves with them.

2 Peter 2:21-22King James Version (KJV)

²¹For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

²²But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

2 Peter 2:21-2221st Century King James Version (KJ21)

²¹For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they had known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

²²But it has happened unto them according to the true proverb: “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and, “the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

21 There may be some form of mercy given to those who have not heard or who do not understand, to what extent this goes could be up for debate but there are people who have been told and reject. This is saying that it is better to be a part of the world to live as the world then to come to Christ and continue live as the world. Living as the world but being a Christian hurts our testimony, hurts our witness and can keep others from coming to Christ, this not something people who remained outside the faith have to deal with as they sin. He may also be referring to that those who were given the law to live by should continue to live by the law even though they have came to Christ, not for salvation. Paul taught that you did not have to keep the law to have salvation; Peter is saying if you have lived by the law and then came to Christ it is still best you keep the law as you have as you serve Christ.

22 We should not look to live as we did before we came to Christ. The Jewish people that left in the Exodus often longed for things of Egypt and this did not make God happy, when we return to the acts or want the things from our bondage of sin, it does not make God happy.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mark 2:17; 2 Peter 2:19-20

Mark 2:17

KJV 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Recovery Version

Mark 2:17 And when Jesus heard this, He said to them, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who are ill; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.

These are my thoughts.

We only see our need for Jesus once we see that we are sinners and He is our only hope.

2 Peter 2:19-20King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

²⁰For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

2 Peter 2:19-2021st Century King James Version (KJ21)

¹⁹While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage.

²⁰For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

19 These are referring to false teachers and false prophets. Liberty is something God gave us; He gave us grace which gives us liberty from sin. This is what false teachers seem to teach but they often add to this or take away from by saying you need grace but you need to do… They are not of Christ so they follow after something else and are motivated by something else, one of the ways to see a false prophet other than their teaching is what motivates them if it is not Christ than most likely they are a false teacher or one who has gone astray, either way if their motivation is not Christ than they should not be teaching. Man’s teaching often keeps us bound to the law or a law they create and truly does not allow us the liberty that God gave us when Christ died on the cross.

20 When need to rely on Christ and His word then listen to the teachings of man to see by the word if they are from God. Most that fall victim to false teachers are those who have not studied the word for themselves.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mark 2:16; 2 Peter 2:17-18

Mark 2:16

KJV 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

Recovery Version2:16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, seeing that He ate with sinners and tax collectors, said to His disciples, Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?

These are my thoughts.

We can only truly want to spend time with Jesus after coming to know we are sinners and we need Him.

2 Peter 2:17-18King James Version (KJV)

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

¹⁸For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

2 Peter 2:17-1821st Century King James Version (KJ21)

¹⁷These are wells without water, clouds that are carried by a tempest, for whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

¹⁸For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh and through much wantonness those who had clean escaped from those who live in error.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

17 Wells without water have no purpose, those without Christ have no purpose because the purpose of life is to come to Him and find life. They will remain in their darkness.

18 They want to sound important and wise before people, God can see thru all this. They want to be glory to themselves instead of God who they chose not to follow, by rejecting God it shows their pride the fact that something is in place of God and keeps them from coming to Him. They keep doing things of the flesh and find enjoyment in them they no nothing good but only know what feels good, this is often sinful, pleasure is not always wrong but for them pleasures come before God and anything that comes before God is sinful.
