2 Peter 3:16

Good Evening All,
I got into my blog easily, which is a miracle. I talked with our son today and he said he didn't do anything to my blog. Maybe Google finally caught up on the problem and fixed it themselves. Anyway, here we go.
This portion of scripture, 2 Peter 3:16 needs to be read in whole, as in the whole chapter. It's talking about end times when the Lord destroys the heavens and the earth. When we get to verse 16, Peter is talking about the Apostle Paul (see vs.15) and he says: "He writes the same way in all his letters. speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain come things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."
Peter is explaining that we need to walk with God in a blameless and upright way/manner. Paul's teaching was always guided by the Lord and Peter is adding his instruction here too. When you read verses 14-16 the explanation is more clear.
There are people, Peter calls them ignorant and unstable people who will always distort the truth of the word. But, if you don't know the word, how will you know if they are teaching false doctrine? Know the truth and you won't be trapped by the lies.
Have you ever met someone that was teaching falsely and you knew it and when you tried to point out the truth, they wouldn't listen and got really upset with you? I've had some people that have been really smug about what they believe and that arrogance is hard to understand for me.
When the Word is truth, it speaks for itself. We can't change peoples opinions and beliefs, but we can point them to scripture that speaks truth and let it challenge their beliefs and give them the information they need. The rest is up to the Lord, and them.
On a final note, I'd like to ask for prayer. I'm having some health issues and need, and covet your prayers as I find solutions and hopefully find a resolution.

Blessings,
Sandy
