2 Peter

1:1 already we find a divergence from the first book claiming to be written by Peter, namely his self-appellation.

1:4 Although the subject of the exhortation is similar to that in 1 Peter, I find the tone markedly different.  Less oratical.

1:7 What is meant by "godliness" here.  I'd be interested to know the original Greek.  One normally would say it refers to goodness, self-control, etc., but as it is here distinguished from those other characteristics, it must be referring to some other, more specific attribute.

1:!4 If this letter was indeed written after Peter's death (as most scholars believe, based on its seeming reference to later letters of Paul), then this verse is not a gentle fiction, but a rather shameless falsehood.

1:20 I find this argument hard to support.  If no prophecy is subject to interpretation, then why are some of them so darned opaque?

2:4 The Greek here is Tartaros, not Hades, and the translation as "hell" seems rather misleading.

2:6 Here is a hint about what "Peter" exactly means by godliness.  He doesn't say what it is, but that it is whatever Sodom and Gomorrah were not: hospitable, chaste, mild.

2:10 aaaaaaand there it is.  Depraved lust and contempt for authority, these were the ungodly acts of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Although I for one and hard pressed to think of a way that submissiveness is in any way displayed by the divine figure.

2:12 Whoa whoa whoa, the implication here is that not only will the ungodly be destroyed, but also the irrational animals.  That's the first I've heard of such a thing.

2:17 what exactly is a "waterless spring"?  A hole?

2:18 And here's the bombast that I remember from 1 Peter.  Markedly different from the letters attributed to Paul, and thoroughly demagogic.

3:8 a rather convenient algebra.  By this reasoning, people can always be saying that the end is coming "any day now," and still be correct whilst saying nothing of value.

In general, while I find even Paul's most inflammatory doctrines to be based on logic and reason, in both of the books attributed to Peter I find the aroma of a modern day televangelist, one who relies on oratorical tricks to reach his audience.
