Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Originally posted by JimL View PostSounds like the argument a fraud would make. Anyway, many if not most biblical scholars think 2 Peter was not written by the disciple due to the belief that Peter was martyred long before 2 Peter was written. So who was the auther? Partner in crime perhaps?
Here is an article that examines all of the evidence for and against Peter being the author.
https://bible.org/article/authorship-second-peter
Basically the reasons for thinking he is not the author are pretty thin. In fact, the early Church was very careful in what they allowed in the canon precisely because there were a lot of forgeries going around. The fact that they accepted it as canon speaks to it's authenticity since the church would not want a deceptive letter as part of Scripture.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

I thought this thread started out alright.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom
