I see. That's why the opening says “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.”

Of course, it says. The author was intending his audience to believe it was Apostle Peter writing.

Unfortinately, historical evidence shows that 1 Peter was written towards the end of the century, when Peter was already dead (65-67 AD).

There were simply no systematic persecutions of Christians in Asia Minor during Peter's lifetime. They appear some 25 years after his death.

***The author was intending his audience to believe it was Apostle Peter writing. ***

The Bible lies, according to Kosta50!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to Kosta50, someone PRETENDING to be Peter wrote Peter’s epistle. The Church was FOOLED by the author of Peter, so therefore the CHURCH has no Spiritual discernment!!!
