"...which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.")"

I am looking at this passage from 2 Peter and the key words seem to be "unlearned and unstable". If someone is versed in the SCRIPTURES and is not suffering from a mental condition that would make them unstable it seems that we should be able to discern when SCRIPTURE is being twisted and perverted. All the more reason to study SCRIPTURE, so no one may lead you astray.
That's why Paul, in 2 Tim. 2:15 and 3:16 says to study, study, study the scriptures yourself.
