Degrading the Value of Christ's Blood !
Does it sat say they were purchased with Christ's Blood ? as it does here Rev 5:9
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Jesus did purchase the World for the sake of the Treasure of the Elect in it as pointed out here Matt 13:44
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
In this same passage the field is the world Matt 13:38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The Treasure is not the World itself but it is found in the Field.
Thats just one way of understanding 2 Pet 2:1. To say that Christ redeemed by His Blood those who are false teachers is nothing short of Blasphemy !
Its nothing short of a degrading estimation for the Value of Christ's Blood for those to ignorantly appeal to 2 Pet 2:1 as a proof text to teach or insinuate that Christ's Blood Redeemed those false teachers, and they remained so, in fact, they were born by the providence of God to be taken as wild beast and destroyed 2 Pet 2:12
12 But these,
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;
Ain't no doubt about it, Peter states that they
SHALL utterly perish in their own corruption !
Those who teach such things, that these false teachers were redeemed by the blood of Christ, are false teachers themselves and more importantly, they show a disdain for the Meritorious Effects and Accomplishment of the redeeming Blood of Christ, which actually purges our hearts from dead works to serve the True and Living God Heb 9:14
14 How much more
shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
For if Christ died for any that are false teachers, then the effects of His Blood would be that to redeem them from dead works, and from all iniquity Titus 2:14
14 Who gave himself for us,
that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
It redeems from a vain manner of Life 1 Pet 1:18-19
18
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
So whereas a false teacher who professes Christ is a worker of iniquity according to Christ Matt 7:22-23
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
