Precious Promises

I chapter 1 of 2 Peter he refers to great and precious promises and in chapter 3 he returns to this topic. "But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness." 2 Peter 3:13
However, the false teachers denied the truth of Christ's return. Peter calls these false teachers "scoffers". They denied that there would be a bodily resurrection, only a spiritual one. There arguments sound very familiar to us.
This is an amazingly modern argument for rejecting the supernatural, bodily second coming. It simply says, the laws of nature are constant and unchanging. Tomorrow we will look at how Peter responds to these scoffers.
