[QUOTE="John G., post: 77668351, member: 454209"] Utter Anoesiai! 2 Peter 1:10 "10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall." Which qualities? 2 Peter 1:5-7: "5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love." Clearly, this speaks of Christian growth, not salvation. Salvation is by faith alone. The Bible does not contradict itself. Btw, Dysnoetos (δυσνόητος) in Greek means "hard to understand" not "foolish". 2 Peter 3 refers to Paul as "beloved" and having wisdom (verse 15). There is no negative connotation against him, only against those who twist his words. Incidentally, those who like Calvin would like to eliminate 2 Peter from the Canon do so because they do not consider the epistle to be authentic not because it speaks negative about the Apostle Paul.
