2 Peter 3:1 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved…

8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

2 Peter 3:9 is the most frequently cited verse, bar none, to seek to dismiss the biblical doctrine of election (though very rarely quoted in context) – its meaning, just assumed. However, assumption is the very hallmark of tradition.

Some time back I wrote a brief article on this verse. The resultant comments and interaction may be helpful to others with the same questions – found here.
