When backed up with the word of God, opinions BECOME facts.

Ha ha. When you believe what the word of God unambiguously says and state that, then you could be said to be stating a fact. An opinion is, by definition, an assertion for which there is either no corroboration other than one's personal taste or such corroboration that can support a number of different opinions any of which may contradict the other. There are all sorts of opinions that are "backed up" with the word of God, according to Peter, but they're the farthest thing in the world from being facts.

So... when you believe or quote a passage of scripture... let’s say John 3:16, then it’s only your opinion that Christ said that if we believe in Him we will have everlasting life? That is opinion?

If God says it, it IS. No opinion about it at all. When God tells us we are to have no other gods before Him, is it a suggestion, or a command? Doesn’t that rate as fact?

If Christ teaches us to pray to the Father, does that mean it’s an opinion only?

Nice, but again, fail.
