By your own words you condemn that "church" and those leaders therof that would do such a thing -- not the epistle itself

I never condmened the Church. I am sure the majority of churches earnestly believed that 1 Peter was written by Peter and that it was Godsent. Somone in the Church saw to it that it is read and accepted for the better of the Church.

The same was true of the Epistle of Barnabas for about 3 centuries and then the epistle was dropped. Why? All of a sudden it was no longer "inspired?" Or because it didn;t sevre the original purpose? or because somone made a mistake for 300 years in treating it as scripture?

The real church always accepted I Peter because copies of it began circulating in 65 AD amongst the Jewish Christian communities of Asia Minor

That's news! But you will just have to provide some documentation verifying this claim. I will be eagerly waiting for you to come up with one.

II Peter is your documentation -- you know -- since I comes before II -- except for those with dyslexia.
