Oh so Peter wrote his own 'theology'?

No, you read his words like your theology dictates.

What about that parable of the ten virgins

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.

You have NO clue what 'my' theology is but you have been programmmmmmed to ignore Peter's own words.

Christ spoke to the masses in parables BUT he privately explained them to His disciples. And we have the parables and then the private explanations... so they would NOT be parables to those who read with understanding.

Somebody is going to run out of 'oil' because they ignored the whole of the WORD... and those that run out of truth in the final dispensation of this flesh age are going to be scurry about trying to 'buy' some to get some light.
