The Gospel of Peter may not be "gospel" but it is an historical document, and it doesn't fit your template. I would be interested to see you produce the census figures for the Parthian Empire that would substantiate your claim that the number of Jews there outweighed the number of Jews in Rome,

Am I wrong on this, but wasn't it your own Church that rejected that book? Why did they reject it?

You always try to make it seem as though it was authentic and inspired, but somehow the nasty Protestants snatched it out of the Bible and condemned it because it was too Catholic.

If the scholars of that day rejected it as a fraud or uninspired, you can not then go into it and pick out certain parts of it and say, "Yeh but, I don’t see anything wrong with this part of it." Face it, its junk, and none of it can be used or trusted.

"the last thing in the world you want to do is to talk to him in a heart felt way. God forbid that anyone have a personal relationship with him. "

"I have done something very foolish, Lord. I came away from home this morning without my prayer book and my memory is such that I cannot recite a single prayer without it. So this is what I am going to do. I shall recite the alphabet five times very slowly and You, to whom all prayers are known, can put the letters together to form the prayers I can't remember."

Face it, it exists as prima facie evidence. Apparently it reflects the opinion of the time, which is the early Second Century. The only way you can rebute this is to show it is a late forgery, say of the 5th century.
