• not merely on the gross licentious ways of evil men who taught for gain as in 2 Peter 2, but on others of philosophic mind, who might be generally correct in moral ways, but were beguiled into such an abandonment of truth, as we have already in Agnosticism, Positivism, and the like. They stand on phenomena, on things seen, on matter. God is in none of their thoughts as a living reality, His word (if His word) of no account. Things continue as ever. This is the fixed law. All else is idea. God is, for such, an unknown God. (“2 Peter 3:3-4” by W. Kelly)
• Wishing to give free rein to their carnal desires they deride that which most would put a check upon them. (“2 Peter 3” by F.B. Hole)
