2pet is widely acknowledged to be a forgery, not written by peter. Maybe the author of 2pet was the 14th apostle, (what's his name, from dogma?).

Apostlic blessing that the writings of Paul are scripture. I wonder had the Essenes any apostolic blessings on their writings?
If they had been Christian, they would have. Most of the early Christianities claimed not just apostolic blessings, but that their christianity was the true teachings of Jesus passed on through apostolic succession. The early Catholics did, and you quoted their scripture. The Gnostics did, and so did the Ebionites. The Essenes weren't Christian - your statement is like "I wonder if moses had been blessed by the pope?".

Or are we to rely on the non-scriptural musings of men.
Indeed. Each of the early Christian churches called the scriptures of the others "heresy" and things just written by men. Only their own scriptures (for each type of Christianity) were "real" scripture.
