19 days until the Atlanta, Georgia Revival Conference Their arguments are contained in verse 4. Their first argument has to do with the delay in Christs coming. Where is the promise of His coming? They dont want Christ to come because it will mean judgment for them, and thus they argue that because the promise of Christs coming has not been fulfilled, there is little reason to believe that it will ever take place.Their second argument has to do with the stability of the laws of nature and the uniformity of the processes of nature. For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. They maintain that nothing catastrophic has happened in the past, so there is no reason to believe it will happen in the future. They argue that the laws of nature are fixed and settled. The sun rises and sets, the tides ebb and flow, and the seasons follow each other in their usual order. Thus it is impossible for an upheaval (such as the prophesied fiery judgment) to take place in a universe with such highly fixed laws....Beware!Peter tells us, Beloved. . . beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:17,18). -Allen NellFREE EVENT TO ATTEND, PRE-REGISTER HERE:
