1:03:01 - Larry introduces James White's ( [ Ссылка ] ) book “The Potter's Freedom”(available at www.amazon.com) & reads the part of it covering 2 Peter 3:9.
James R. White: “This is surely the most popular passage cited (almost never with any reference to the context) to ‘prove’ that God could not possibly desire to save a specific people but instead desires to save every single individual person … Peter writes to a specific group, not to all of mankind. ‘To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours’ [II Pet. 1:1]. This not only refers to faith as a gift, as we will see in a later chapter, but it surely limits the context to the saved, for they have received this faith ‘by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ’ … There is nothing in chapter three that indicates a change in audience, and much to tell us the audience remains exactly the same. Since this is so, it becomes quite clear that the Arminian is badly misusing this passage by ignoring what Peter is really saying." (The Potter’s Freedom [Amityville, NY: Calvary Press, 2000], pp. 145, 147-148;).

1:15:14 - Rob closes his presentation emphasizing that viewers should go by the Bible alone. Larry signs off with John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me."
