Composition
Simon Peter wrote two epistles which are called Catholic, the second of which, on account of its difference from the first in style, is considered by many not to be by him. Then too the Gospel according to Mark, who was his disciple and interpreter, is ascribed to him. On the other hand, the books, of which one is entitled his Acts, another his Gospel, a third his Preaching, a fourth his Revelation, a fifth his Judgment are rejected as apocryphal.

If the epistle of Peter says The home of Righteousness, why
are people waiting for 1000
years reign on this earth.

good question. They have understood some promises (mostly in Zechariah and Ezekiel) to be 'unconditional', so they MUST be fulfilled, while actually they were promises of what would happen if the nation of "Israel" was true to YHVH, and obedient to His rules. (which clearly they were not.) |

What is this" Vain manner of 1 Pet 1:18-19
" Knowing that it was not with
corruptible things with silver
or gold, that you were
redeemed from your vain manner
of life handed down from your
fathers, but with the precious
blood of a Lamb without
blemish and without spot, the
Blood of Christ"
We have been redeemed from our
vain manner of life that was
handed ddown from our fathers.
Is this continual? Even after
believing into the Lord and
being redeemed by His Blood,
does the Lord have to continue
to work on us in this matter
as believers?
What do you believe is a vain
manner of life and how does
this verse speak to you TODAY
as a believer.
Ty for taking the time to look
into this post
In Christ

TY so much brother Acts.
I really appreciate your
insight and application of
this verse. Particularly
regarding the vain things that
can be so subtle, even when we
gather as the church, that can
distract us from our worship
in spirit and truthfulness to
the Father.
Praise the Lord for all that
is available through the joint
of the rich supply and the
operation of the measure of
each one part in the Body of
Christ. I hope many can read
and gain from what you shared
today with us:)
Your sis

The word “vain,” applied to conduct, means properly “empty, fruitless.” It is a word often applied to the worship of idols, as being nothing, worthless, unable to help, and is probably used in a similar sense in this place. The apostle refers to their former worship of idols, and to all the abominations connected with that service, as being vain and unprofitable; as the worship of nothing real (compare 1Corinthians 8:4, 'We know that an idol is nothing in the world’), and as resulting in a course of life that answered none of the proper ends of living. From that they had been redeemed by the blood of Christ. Is this continual? Yes it is. There are so many idols that we are unaware they are idols. Idol worship in it's loosest definition is "anything that takes priority over worship of God." This can mean; a religious tradition, a TV show, a football game, a golf game, etc, anything that takes away the worship of the Heavenly Father. Even within churches, there are idols, and people are unaware of it. Try taking down a picture or a plaque and either moving it to a different location or removing it all together. There can become an uproar. Remove hymnals, change the style of music, remove pews and go to chairs or vice versa, remove chairs and put in pews. There are so many things that detract from the worship of the Father, that we forget what we are actually saved through, we are saved through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and all other things (traditions, songs, etc) may help enhance our relationship with him, they are not to take the place of the worship of him. |
