Counseling Approach

This article explores the twofold key claim often made within the Biblical Counseling Movement: (1) that doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture necessitates a Biblical counseling approach that is predominantly or exclusively derived from Scripture and (2) that the counseling approaches derived from the secular mental health professions are either unnecessary or so inherently defective as to be improper resources for counseling by Christians. Particular focus is given to two key passages used to support this perspective: 2 Peter 1:1–11 and 2 Timothy 3:1–17. It is argued that neither of these passages provide Biblical warrant for the sufficiency of Scripture doctrine as sometimes advanced by the Biblical counseling movement.

Preparing against immorality in a postmodern society: A her-meneusis of 2 Peter 1:12-15. Under the influence of postmodernism the moral autonomy of man is at present strongly accentuated and society more and more evinces the characteristics of this perspective. This article on 2 Peter 1:12-15 argues that it is important to make believer!' aware of the consequences of an immoral lifestyle and to prepare them against it. Believers must be equipped with fresh and clear knowledge of the teachings of the apostles. In these teachings the believers possess authoritative guidance that will help them to distinguish between true and false teachers of Jesus Christ and that will lead them to sanctification. The teachings of the apostles will also teach them to call lovingly upon other people to live a life true to God and one that speaks of high moral values and self control.

This chapter explores some roles willpower might play in a Christian’s grace-empowered attempt to “make every effort to supplement [his or her] faith with virtue” (2 Peter 1:5, ESV). Working from a distinction Robert Adams makes between “motivational” and “structural” virtues, West argues that virtues of the latter sort—of which self-control, perseverance, and patience are paradigm examples—are partially constituted by willpower. He then draws on recent empirical studies of self-regulation to explain how the wise exertion of willpower can help one not only resist temptation, but also leverage temptation in the interest of cultivating virtues in both of Adams’s categories.

Spiritual enrichment of Christians in the midst of moral-ethical confusion in the present South Africa: the significance of the motif of knowing in 2 Peter 1:5-7 In this article, which deals with the significance of the motif of knowing in 2 Peter 1:5-7 for the present South African context, attention is paid to verses 5-7. This article attempts to indicate that Peter’s encouragement of his readers to enrich their belief has special significance for believers in South Africa. Believers should understand that accepted religious beliefs are only a basic virtue. To this virtue they have to add, together with other virtues, the faculty of comprehension. In South Africa, opposing statements are currently often made about what Scripture teaches concerning moral issues. Believers having this ability of comprehension will be able to judge these statements and arrive at a Biblically-oriented conclusion.

Second Coming

Based on 2 Peter 3: 3 latter-day life is the appearance of mockers called false teachers carrying false teachings, namely denying Jesus as a savior, turning the day of the Lord or the day of the second coming of Jesus, and rejecting the Word of God. The lives of these false teachers only follow the passions. Adultery, obscene, all of it to blaspheme the glory of God. To fortify youth in dealing with heresies and living according to lust is to provide proper teaching and formation on the knowledge of Christ in 2 Peter 1: 5-7. The growth of true faith, namely to the faith of virtue, to the virtue of knowledge, to the knowledge of self-mastery, to the mastery of perseverance, to the perseverance of godliness, to the piety of love for you, to your love for all people. Where this love does not demand reciprocity, this love is the love that is willing to sacrifice for the people it loves. With the right knowledge of Jesus, it will be difficult for young people to influence teachings that are not true.Kehidupan zaman akhir berdasar 2 Petrus 3:3 adalah tampilnya pengejek-pengejek yang di sebut guru palsu membawa ajaran sesat, yaitu menyangkal Yesus sebagai juruselamat, memutarbalikan hari Tuhan atau hari kedatangan Yesus yang kedua kalinya, dan menolak Firman Allah. Kehidupan guru-guru palsu ini hanya mengikuti hawa nafsu. Nafsu zinah, cabul, semuanya itu kepada menghujat kemuliaan Allah. Untuk membentengi pemuda dalam menghadapi ajaran-ajaran sesat dan kehidupan menuruti hawa nafsu adalah dengan memberi pengajaran dan pembinaan yang tepat tentang pengenalan akan Kristus dalam 2 Petrus 1:5-7. Adanya pertumbuhan iman yang benar, yaitu kepada iman  kebajikan, kepada kebajikan pengetahuan, kepada pengetahuan penguasaan diri, kepada penguasaan diri ketekunan, kepada ketekunan kesalehan, kepada kesalehan kasih akan saudara, kepada kasih saudara kasih semua orang. Di mana kasih ini tidak menuntut balasan, kasih ini adalah kasih rela berkorban bagi sesama yang dikasihinya. Dengan pengenalan yang benar akan Yesus , maka pemuda akan sulit di pengaruhi ajaran yang tidak benar.

Historical Model

Breed’s biblical pastoral model Scripturally grounded in 2 Peter 1:3–11: An exegetical elucidation: In his recent research, Gert Breed has formulated a biblical pastoral model. From his own publications as well as from publications of other researchers, it is clear that Breed’s model is of great value to pastoral counsellors. Although elements of the model are included in other people’s research publications, Breed has not yet published a complete description of his model. The purpose of this article is to provide Breed’s pastoral model with a biblical foundation from 2 Peter 1:3–11 within the context of the entire letter. The method used in this study was to do exegesis of 2 Peter 1:3–11 according to the grammatical-historical model, and to use the results of the exegesis to biblically ground the different elements of Breed’s pastoral model. The article found that seven important elements of Breed’s model can be Scripturally grounded in 2 Peter 1:3–11, namely: (1) the meta-theoretical starting point regarding the Bible as the Word of God; (2) the need for someone receiving counselling to be born again; (3) the importance of a counselee’s relationship with God; (4) change in the life of a counselee through insight; (5) external and internal motivation of a counselee; (6) perseverance in a new life; and (7) the counselee as diakonos of Jesus Christ. Breed’s pastoral model is already useful for pastoral counsellors. The exegetical grounding presented in this study increases the usefulness of the model.
