E153: 1 Peter A - A Little Problematic

The Bible in 30 Seconds or Less | New Testament: General Epistles

There's a lot of reasons to look at First Peter sideways - what's this about slaves obeying harsh masters because Jesus, or women not braiding hair because authority, or husbands being super nice to wives because they are weak - and so on. There's things about the person who's suffered in the flesh, is done with sin, and the gospel being proclaimed to the dead. But this all makes Peter seem a little problematic, that if we suffer now for doing good, put our heads down and don't make waves, Jesus will make it all okay in the end.
