No he's not Doc, i dont know who taught you that, but that isnt what peter is saying. not at all. it twisting the Word of God to say that he is. He is talking to ONE group of people. ONE. and these people that he is talking to have been forgiven, so if they dont ad these thigns to there walk, they WONT stay in the light. if YOU dont belive this as truth adn receive these thigns from GOD almighty through faith that HIS word is 100% sure, then your blind allready. Im not arguing. that is EXACTLY what Peter is saying. Its not saying beign blind to what JEsus did on the cross. Its sayign being blind about YOUR SELF, your OWN HEART. its the EHART that deceives the man. YOU ca nthink you are rich and in need of nothign, but in all actuallity you are poor blind adn aked, adn in need to but refined gold fro mthe fire, and to REPENT.
Peter is NOT talkign about being blind to a teachign that you hold on to. He is talkign about BEING BLIND TO YOUR OWN HEART. Thinkign your fine when you are not. THAT is what PETER is talkign about, thats what a great majority of the bible is talkign about. IF, IF you add these thigns to your walk, then you ayou will be SURE that you are in the light and NOT blind, becasue GOD sees your intention and KEEPS YOU IN HIS SON.
A CHRISTIAN can be blind. and can stay blind. We are in danger of beign deceived. Thats why there is warning WATCH so you are NOT deceived. and "DO NOT BE DECIEVED" bretheren CAN BE BLIND. That is why we need FEAR of GOD and to go to HIM with everything makign sure that HE keeps showing us our rebllion to him. and then HE puts is to death. But you can be blinded and think NONE of that is needed. Whci hmeans you are NOT addign these thigns to your walk.
Look...
(2 Peter 1:8) For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(2 Peter 1:9) But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Two seperate groups.
A Christian cannot be blind and cannot be decieved. God chooses us from before the Earth was created and keeps us BY HIS POWER unto salvation.
People who think or profess they are Christian can certainly be blind and be deceived, but not the actual sheep.
So your preaching to the choir bud.

I know for some the bible discussion forums are for debate...and in that they debate
with what they consider wrong. And to do that proficiently it becomes a style or skill.
People who want edified im sure should find a different venue. Nothing wrong with
lifting up or edifying while here, but it really cant be expected.
Someone might want to point out your incorrect way of edifying. haha

Blind Christians say Jesus, but they don't obey his words. Blind Christians love sin and hate righteousness. Blind Christians lie, cheat, steal, bicker, complain, are vain, love the pleasures of the flesh and lusts of this life.
Blind Christians don't see their salvation, they see their lusts and idolatry. And Satan is the one who blinds these people, so that they will not see nor hear nor understand what Jesus is saying, and so they will not receive his words, because SURELY they would have been healed.
Jesus Christ is coming!! And will he find faith?
Yet, many blind Christians say they see, so their sin remains with them.
But those who follow Jesus follow righteousness, even as he was righteous, they do his righteousness. Jesus does not sin, neither should his disciples.
