2 Peter 2:1-3

- False teachers are deceptive.
“The words ‘destructive heresies’ indicate fatally ruinous ideas, ones that don’t lead to mere temporal destruction but to the second death and eternal exclusion from Christ’s kingdom.” —Jim Shaddix
“A lifestyle of ungodliness always stems from rejecting Christ and his redemptive work, regardless of what one claims.” —Jim Shaddix
