2 Peter 2:10-15

2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.  Chiefly them, suggests a particular people and sin, and again we turn to Paul’s companion text:  

Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. :22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 

:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: :25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature::27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 

:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, :31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: :32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. 

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.   Peter and Paul speak of the same type of person, one who has been given over to the lusts of their flesh, who are willing to overthrow both the laws of God and nature for their own pleasure.  In this age, we find the homosexual movement identified with the moniker ‘Gay Pride.”  One need only observe the annual parades promoting the vile lifestyles to see the presumptuousness, the self-will, the lust and uncleanness, the untoward acts and suggestions towards children, and more.  They speak evil of dignities and make mockery of any wholesomeness in the world.  They are as Paul describes in the verses above, having their conscience seared with a hot iron. They despise government efforts to keep immorality in check, and work to overthrow such for their singular purpose and pleasure. 

2Pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.  Those that have reached this state or condition, having pleasure in things that are worthy of death, and delight in others that do the same, may have reached conditions so vile even the angels of God think them beyond help. 

2Pe 2:12  But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;  Men’s commentary on this verse (2:11) suggest these are God’s angels under consideration, and use Jude 1:9 as confirmation.   Jde 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 

But just because we have record of angels NOT bringing accusation is not sufficient proof that they EVER bring accusation, especially against one of God’s elect.  Satan is the accuser of the brethren.  

and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;  Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. The judgment against their sins will not fail, and whether they perish, meaning in eternity or perish within themselves depends totally upon whom one believes is under consideration in these texts, God’s children or the wicked. 

2Pe 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time.  Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;   No longer content to hide their grievous sins under the cover of darkness they flaunt them before all, showing no fear of God or of His laws. 

Spots they are and blemishes, While certainly spots and blemishes to themselves, (as they are among those who once strived to walk right before God) they are also spots and blemishes to the family of God.  Those who have family members taken by such activity, former church members, close friends and acquaintances bring reproach unto a church body in several ways.  If a church member has taken to the lifestyle, forsaking the assembly, and the church is hesitant or slow to deal with them preferring instead not to hurt the feelings of family members in the church, they spots and blemishes increase.  

sporting themselves with their own deceivings  Those who have taken the lifestyle in secret, trying to hide their sin from church and family deceive only themselves,  

while they feast with you; Whether the writer means feasting in a church or worship capacity, one with another, sharing joy and fellowship before and after services, or communion, the more likely scenario is the first. While partakers of grievous sins have been known to take of communion in season, we would think their trembling souls would steer them away from such a mockery. 

2Pe 2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices;   While the sin of adultery is usually thought of in a male – female relationship, it applies also to a a marriage partner who takes part in a homosexual scenario. The proverbs teach that adultery is a trap, hard to escape, and those ensnared by it will find growing sin a constant in their lives, and entice those who are not firmly grounded to partake with them in such practices. 

cursed children:  Cursed of their own willful volition, their own desire to sin, and not cursed as one thinks of witchcraft, or gypsies or demonic possession, but certainly under an influence, perhaps of their fellow adulterer. 

2Pe 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,  Our context reminds us that only one who has known ‘the right way’ can forsake it and go astray: 

Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 

following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; God’s people are not drawn away into error when the truth is proclaimed and taught, but when deception is used among God’s people, they too can be seduced into leaving the way of righteousness, whether it be a minor matter of understanding or a major departure from doctrine, deception and seduction is the way of Balaam.  

Peter speaks of a specific person (Balaam) to make a point of departure from the truth, but any and all who have known the way of righteousness and forsaken it for the sins and riches of their old world could be described as loving the wages of unrighteousness.
