What Peter is trying to say...

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God

When someone says "What Paul is trying to say here...", or "what Peter is trying to say...", note that what follows will be the author's rewriting of God's Word. It's that simple, and that extreme.
God breathed His thought, His truth, His life, His Spirit into every word, phrase, verse, chapter and book. I realize there are many translations and interpretations of what the wording is. But, textual criticism is one thing, outright misrepresentation is another. Is it ignorance, or denial? Would a highly educated person mis-takenly mis-read a passage in order to lay a foundation for his own personal twist on scripture? Why not? If they want to prove themselves right, they then just say the original writer was struggling to make his point, and they "help" him make it (since they have gained an insight 2000 years later that the original writer did not have). What genius! What insight! What authority!

Be leery of anyone coming to you with a different revelation than what was put into scripture in the first place. James, John, Peter and Paul, all chosen apostles, spoke in person with the Lord Jesus, and got their insight directly from Him, and the Holy Spirit brought to their remembrance all that He had said. That is true revelation. Peter was remembering what the Lord drove him to conclude. Who dares touch this?
