5 Their arguments: “…and saying,” 4 1. Time 2. Continuity Where is the promise? *Long delay = no fulfillment *Mt.24:48 All things continue… *Uniformitarianism *Problem not mental

6 Peter’s response, 5-9 Deliberately ignore facts (Ro.1:18) 2. Continuity 2. Continuity, 5-7: false!  God destroyed ancient world w. water World (6) cf. 2:5; here = men (cf. 2:6) By which (6): plural (see v.5) Perished (6, 7, 9) Same word: earth reserved for fire, 7 WordWater

7 2. Continuity 1. Time 1. Time, 8-9 Time has passed, but God is not bound by our clock, 8. Ps.90:4 Ps.90:4 contrast: eternity of God, brevity of man 2 Pt.3:8 contrast: eternity of God, impatience of man

8 God has unlimited time 1 Co.10 Different people; same God IsraelCorinthUs
