The Temperament and Tragedy of False Teachers (2 Peter 2:10b–22) - 2 Peter Exposition

Having examined the presence and punishment of false teachers, we return to 2 Peter 2 to examine the character of false teachers. We see from vv. 10b–22 that they are insolent, ignorant, insatiable, and impotent, and the tragic result of rejecting the only Saviour for sinners in favour of a different gospel. We will examine these verses under two broad headings: 1. The temperament of false teachers (vv. 10b–19) 2. The tragedy of false teachers (vv. 20–22)
