It's convenient enough to claim god did this, that, and the other thing because it answers a question, but where's your evidence? Where's the evidence that god inspired Peter to note the information? Peter certainly doesn't claim god inspired his writing. And after all, this is a god who had to actually go down to Sodom and Gomorrah to see if the reports about the two towns were true (Gen. 18:20-21). Nope, concocting explanations out of thin air doesn't cut it.
Of course Peter's words were inspired, he was an apostle of Jesus Christ, a leader in the church, and his epistles were included in the canon of biblical scriptures.
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,a which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1;19-21
I don't think God had to go down to see what was occurring in Sodom and Gomorrah. If you actually believe that then you may have a problem with reading and understanding the context of scripture.as a whole, which clearly portrays a God who is omniscient and in the OT a God who often personally interacted with certain individuals. That is the reason I believe He came down.as the passage shows His direct interaction with Abraham concerning Sodom.
