This one came up this week to my wife. She had a meeting for our small business with a local pastor. When he changed the subject over to faith and found out how we were walking, one of the things he brought up to "counter" our beliefs was this passage in 1 Peter. Peter is just quoting Moses and the Psalms here, in the next verse he goes into things Hosea is talking about in the first two chapters of that book.

I am not trying to knock anyone here, but do want to point out the lack of understanding of the Scriptures in some of these cases. Yes, these folks read their Bibles and went to seminary to learn more about it, but I fear they are reading with some sort of blinders on. A perception of what the text is saying before actually reading the text.
