From a letter written by Simon Peter
to believers everywhere:
to believers everywhere:
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.-2 Peter 2:1-10***Simon Peter was 1 of the 12 disciples and apostles of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. Sometime after Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by many people, including Simon Peter, and returned to heaven less than 34 years after he was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Simon Peter wrote a divinely inspired letter that revealed information of the great flood and the righteous life of his ancestor Noah the ark builder. Moreover, Simon Peter wrote of righteous and just Lot, who lived in Sodom with his family. Sodom and its inhabitants were destroyed when the Lord God rained brimstone and fire from heaven upon Sodom, Gomorrah (Gomorrha), Admah, Zeboiim, and the surrounding regions. Two angels hurried Lot, his wife and their 2 daughters safely away, although Lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, Deuteronomy 29:1-29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Isaiah 13:1-22, Jeremiah 49:1-50:46, Lamentations 4:1-22, Ezekiel 16:1-63, Amos 4:1-13, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-15:41, Romans 9:1-33, Hebrews 11:1-40, 1 Peter 1:1-25, 3:1-22, 2 Peter, Jude
