When did Peter write his epistles relative to his time with Christ?
Peter wrote his epistles a long time after his earthly ministry with Christ, approximately 30 some years later. By that time, Paul's revelations had also been made known to Peter, so he could write about redemption through the precious blood of Christ, not corruptible things like silver and gold.
Les explains that Peter is writing his little epistles a long time after his earthly ministry with Christ, about 30 some years later. By this time, Paul's revelations had also been made known to Peter. In 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 18, Peter writes that believers were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver and gold from their vain conversation received by tradition from the fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ. Les emphasizes that you cannot leave the blood out of the picture, because we have been redeemed by the blood of Christ.
