2Pe 3:15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
2Pe 3:16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
2Pe 3:17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.

"writings" or "scipture" choose what you will.

On the subject of the history of the NT canon, you make a great point about 2 Peter. This was one of the books that was held suspect in many parts of early Christendom.

My statements concerning "what is Scripture" generally follow the traditional or most ecumenically accepted canon. Of course within that context, there is a lot of history and debate; one can't qualify every statement. Everything I say here is just "IMHO" and spoken in generalities unless otherwise qualified.
