Irrelevant to the point. The verse says "no prophecy OF Scripture". If Peter meant to say, "No Scripture", he would have done so. Proverbs 5:8 is Scripture, but it is not prophecy. Acts 19:4 is Scripture, but it is not prophecy. Much of Scripture is not prophecy. Most of the New Testament is not prophecy.
actually a lot is, if you read further in Peters letter he talks about false prophets. Peters claim no prophecy of the scriputre is of private interpratation is because the holy spirit moved him to speak. Peter was actually eyewitness to His majesty, being one of the first there at the resurrection, he wasnt making up stories about Jesus. Also of the scriptures in the OT they were all pointing toward Jesus, that was why he was able to speak them.
there are a lot of weird theologies out there, some might have a grain of truth but many are mixed up with a lot of half truths.
while they are interesting I wouldnt rely on Cs Lewis or Jean Calvin or Wayne Grudrem to tell me all about God. I can experience God myself, and I can go straight to scripture. This is what The OT is preserved for us and also the NT. God gave us apostles...and Paul was one of those appointed for the gentiles and his words are noted as scripture today thousands of years later.
I dont really need someone else to tell me,so I find a lot of theology books redundant if you read the bible.

plato was one of the philosphers of theology who was studying what he believed was God way before the gospel was widely known in the greek world so...it is not true that all theology is correct or even about God as revealed through Jesus Christ.
That is why there are different kinds of theology and I would label all of them christian, things like universalism appear to be Christian but on closer examination are not.

Actually Paul and Peter were apostles not prophets Just pointing that out. When they did speak prophecy, they were actually quoting the old testament prophets.
when they were speaking in tongues, they were praising and magnifying God.
I wouldnt say Peter and Paul were theologians, although Paul tried to speak the language of theology to the greeks so they would understand who their unknown God really was.
