2 Peter 2:1

False prophets. "In speaking about God's true prophets, I must remind you that there were also false prophets among the people in the past, and in the same way you must expect false teachers to appear among you!" People means the Jewish Nation. Christ predicted such things would happen (see Matthew 24:24). Destructive, untrue doctrines. See the Introduction to James and First John. And deny the Muter. We do not know for sure just how they denied the Master, but one of the first things that the circumcision party did, was to try to get rid of Christ-on-the-cross! See note on Philippians 3:1-8. Some denied Jesus' Divinity; some denied Christ's humanity. Bring upon themselves. Compare note on Matthew 24:21.
