    Correct Answer
    A. Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost

    The correct answer is that holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. This means that the prophecies of the scripture were inspired by the Holy Spirit, guiding and influencing the words spoken by these holy men.

    What example did Peter give that indicates he was NOT following cunningly devised fables, but was an eyewitness of Christ? (1:16-18)

    • Garden of Gethsemane

    • Jesus transfigured on the mount

    • Healing of Jairus' daughter

    • The resurrection of Jesus

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Jesus transfigured on the mount
    Explanation
    Peter gave the example of Jesus transfigured on the mount to indicate that he was not following cunningly devised fables, but was an eyewitness of Christ. This event, where Jesus' appearance was transformed and he was seen talking with Moses and Elijah, was a powerful demonstration of his divine nature and authority. Peter, along with James and John, witnessed this event firsthand and it confirmed to him the reality of Jesus' identity as the Son of God. This experience served as evidence that Peter was not following made-up stories, but had actually seen and experienced the truth of who Jesus was.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Scoffers
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Scoffers" because in 2 Peter 3:3, it is mentioned that in the last days, scoffers will come, following their own evil desires and mocking the idea of Jesus' return. This implies that they will show disrespect and disbelief towards religious beliefs and teachings.

    A. Those that have obtained like precious faith
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Those that have obtained like precious faith." This can be inferred from the context of the question, which is asking about the intended recipients of the epistle.

This is a transformative process that allows us to live a life that is pleasing to God and brings glory to Him.
