Choice 2: 2 Peter 2. Teaching

1.    Read 2 Peter 2:1–19. Record the characteristics of false teachers described by Peter. Explain in writing how your list helps you recognize false teachers today.
 1. Denying the Lord
2. Brought themselves swift destruction
3. Coveting
4. make wrong seem right
5. Turning cities into ashes
6. Turning cities to ungodliness
7. Crude vulgar speech
8. being lustful
9. unclean
10. despising government
11. not afraid to speak of evil things
12. speaking about things they don't actually know about, in a negative way
13. adultery
14. loves money
15. have gone astray
16. get others to believe their lies. 
17. Corrupt


This helps me realize corruption because these are all obvious examples of someone corrupt. It is obvious that these characteristics aren't anything that I would want to deal with, and makes me evaluate myself. 

2.    Read 2 Peter 2:20–22; Doctrine and Covenants 82:3, 7. In your own words, write a few sentences describing the dangers of returning to the “pollutions of the world.”


 It's hard to recover from previous sins. Once you recover from them and repent but revert back to them, then that is where the problem comes to be. You've learned once. Its like the phrase Fool you once, shame on them. Fooled me twice, shame on me. It is up to you if you go back to the ways that you know is wrong. It is easy to fall back into something you don't want, but if you are recovering and head back to it, then that is the biggest problem.
