Moving on...

Mosts scholars are "wrong" and you are right? Dream on.

Comments on Galileans sound like the arrogant and contemptous statements of the Pharisees toward their supposed “inferiors” at John, chapter seven.

Ah, so it's a class issue, hey? Galilean fisherman were poor and didn't have time to go to school to learn sophisticated, urban Greek. You are darn right it's a class issue. And pounding the Palestinian dirt while spreading the good news did not exactly lend itself to developing sophisticated knowledge of a foreign language either.

How come you didn't say anything about the author quoting from Septuagint and writing in sophisticated urban Greek, rather than using Hebrew scriptures and plain Aramaic, since he was sent to preach the Gospel to the Jews in Israel?

Events? What events?

Persecutions. None occurred in Peter's lifetime.

I must say, I’ve read all the objections and it’s no wonder I have a low opinion of the higher critics

I'd say you didn't even begin. I think your low opinion of the higher critics matches the arguments you have presented so far.

“How come you didn’t say anything about the author quoting from Septuagint and writing in sophisticated urban Greek, rather than using Hebrew scriptures and plain Aramaic, since he was sent to preach the Gospel to the Jews in Israel?”

and that restriction ended didn’t it?

Because your whole line of argument is fallacious and you state things you don’t know as fact like,

“Galilean fisherman were poor and didn’t have time to go to school to learn sophisticated, urban Greek.”

How would you know anything about Peter’s early life, or know anything about what a Galilean fisherman might or might not know or what Peter’s writing style is except from what he wrote but you bang on as if you did.

How do you know anything of Peter’s life except what the Scriptures tell you?
