Mockers with their mockery will come saying where this promised presence of his is.
Who do we know that identify themselves by what they are with? Please feel free to share.
I know two "theys" who come "with" something. The something they come with is what identifies them for who they are.
First it was the Jews. They did not come scoffing. They came as foreigners with a promise. Genesis 17:8, Hebrews 11:9 But are they not identified with The God of Promise? A man is not a Jew if he is separated from the promise made to Abraham. Please correct me if I'm wrong. A Jew is he or she who comes to the world scene WITH something.
Who else comes with something being identified by what is with them? I cannot pick solely on the Jehovah's Witnesses, but they are who I know. There have been many people and a few groups who claim God is with them. They become known to their contemporaries as being with something. The something they are with is (they claim) God's Promise.
The Witnesses are the last ones to come with it and the reason why that is so is they say (or have said) "soon six billion hearts will stop beating". Are they coming "scoffing"? Yes, they do. Even though some people who have identified with God's promise are very nice people, the fact that the promise is only for them is scoffing you and God.
That's just some more words about 2 Peter 3:3
A Jehovah's Witness is not a Jehovah's Witness without what? They identify themselves by what they have. What they have they call "the truth".

i just feel like saying I believe the Jews have never taught God's Promise is for them alone. Even the New Testament or Greek Scriptures do not teach the promise of God is only for those with it.
