Question:
II Peter, 2:21 This sounds to me like these people have fallen away or have lost their salvation if it would have been better for them to have never heard it. I’m sure you’ve fielded this one before, but I guess I missed it. Can you explain this one to me Dr. Lindstrom ? Thanks for your radio program and your website.
Answer:
The context shows that this is talking about false prophets. They were never saved because as verse 22 says, ‘they have turned from the way of Righteousness’ which is to not trust Jesus Christ as Savior.
