What nice, neat, theology for you. Too bad it comes from the hearts and minds of men, and not the words of the Almighty.

Oh so Peter wrote his own 'theology'? What about that parable of the ten virgins who make it all the way up to the END but do not have enough 'oil' (truth) to make it to the 'wedding'? (Matthew 25)

No, you read his words like your theology dictates.

Ah, if you use parables to create a theology, there is no end to heresy. You can make them say whatever you want. Parables are illustrations designed to make a point - not to create theologies out of whole cloth.

Why not be honest and just rip out the first 3/4 of your Bible. That way you can join the heretic Marcion and have a "clean slate" for your errant theology.

Me? I will stick to the eternal Word - unchanged and complete from beginning to end. No contradictions, no dispensations, no twisting of the Almighty's words. No bait-and-switch theology.
