Injustice in 1 Peter
- We are all, according to Peter, predestined to be saved or damned. We have no say in the matter. It was all
determined by "the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."1:2
- "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man."
Even unjust laws and dictators? 2:13
- According to Peter, kings reign by divine right and everyone, therefore, should "honor the king."
2:17
- God drowned drowned everyone on earth except for Noah and his family. 3:20
- Things may get rough for Christians, but it will really be hell for nonbelievers. 4:17-18
