Versi relativi a 2 Peter, 2:

Chapter 2 of 2 Peter deals mainly from false prophets and masters that would arise among the Christian people, bringing heresies and promoting liberation. They would deny God's sovereignty and redemption in Jesus Christ, leading many to follow their pernicious practices. Below are five verses related to these themes, excluding the verses of 2 St. Peter 2:

Matthew 7:15: "Beware of the false prophets, who are presented to you in disguise in sheep, but inside they are stole wolves." Jesus Christ warned his disciples about the presence of false prophets, who would present themselves as spiritual leaders, but who would actually seek to divert people from the truth.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15: "For such false apostles are fraudulent workers, becoming the apostles of Christ. And it is not to admire, because Satan himself becomes an angel of light. their own ministers become ministers of justice; and their end will be according to their works. " The apostle Paul also warned of the presence of false apostles, who pretended to be sent by Christ, but were actually deceators who sought to deceive God's people.

1 John 4:1: "Beloved, do not believe in every Spirit, but prove if the spirits come from God, for many false prophets have come out around the world." The apostle John also instructed Christians to carefully examine the teachings they heard in order to verify whether they came from God or false prophets.

1 Timothy 4:1: "Now the Spirit expressly says that in recent times some will apostatize the faith because they obey deceiving spirits and the teachings of demons." The apostle Paul again warned of the presence of false teachings that would be promoted by people who did not follow God, but to deceiving spirits and demonic teachings.

Judas 1:4: For certain men, whose condemnation had been sentenced for a long time, have infiltrated themselves among you. These are wicked, who transform the grace of our God into liberation and deny Jesus Christ, our only sovereign and Sir." Judas's book also talks about the presence of false masters who denied the truth about Jesus Christ and promoted libertine practices.
