Good points guys!

2 Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh [carnal men / false prophets etc...] in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2 Peter 2:12 But these [see v. 10], as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
See the word "as". That's the spiritual understanding of this statement as it stands. Now then, compare spiritual with spiritual.

Hi Dave,
I'm under the impression your post is directed at me for I was the one who made the 'compare spiritual to spiritual' statement. You are saying essentially the same thing as I did only you seem to be nit picking at my spiritual comparisons. King solomon did not use the word 'as' when making his comparison between men and beasts but I think we all understand that his is a spiritual statement about the condition of man. So why is it so farfetched to apply that to Paul's too when comparing spiritual with spiritual? Unless you would also like to criticize king solomon?
I'm at a complete loss as to why your post is the way it is and perhaps I'm just mis understanding you.
God bless,
Alex

Well, Alex, I guess I am at a loss why you think I was 'arguing' when you yourself say I was in agreement with what you said.

Hi Dave,
That's how your post comes off. It reads like a correction, especially the, "Now then, compare spiritual with spiritual."
My apologies if i've misunderstood. Wouldn't be the first time.
God bless,
Alex
