Peter's Warning About the Antinomians Who Twist Paul's Letters (2 Peter 3:15-17)

Peter's Warning About the Antinomians Who Twist Paul's Letters (2 Peter 3:15-17)

In 2 Peter 3:15-17, Peter warns that Paul’s letters contain content that is “hard to understand” and which “the ignorant and unstable” misinterpret. He then connects the mishandling of Paul’s letters to “lawless people.” In this video, I argue that 2 Peter 3:15-17 represents Peter’s warning regarding antinomians (individuals who reject God’s law) who misinterpret passages in Paul’s letters to advocate for lawlessness.
