  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi Folks!


I was wanting to know if there was any warrant to the thought that the theme of this passage of Scripture given above finds its roots in the Messianic promise found here:



Any thoughts?

Generally speaking, any Old Testament text that refers to the creation of an eternal kingdom will typically refer to Christ's kingdom, as his kingdom alone is everlasting. In the following verses, we see that the Lord promises David a throne that will be established forever. This is entirely fulfilled through his earthly blood line, the line from which Jesus was born. The Lord's promise to David is fulfilled through Jesus.

In attributing this passage in Peter back to 2 Samuel we could, in the very least, say that Samuel at least applies to Peter. That is, both of these passages taken together certainly affirm and confirm with each other. As to whether the correct interpretation of 1 Pet. 2:4, 5 is the direct fulfillment of 2 Samuel 7:11-13, that would require a more careful approach.

None of my bibles cross-reference these passages, but the language is certainly similar. Again, in the least we could say they are applicable to one another, even if not fulfilled by each other.

Soli Deo Gloria

I agree with you on that point. I do not beleive that 1 Peter 2:4-5 is a direct fulfillment of 2 Samuel 7, but rather I was just curious as to if the 1 Peter passage could be using the same type of imagery or train of thought as the 2 Samuel passage. If maybe Peter had that theme in his mind or not?
