Re: Did the Jerusalem church even preach Jesus Christ?
I gather that the main argument against the authenticity of 1 Peter is it's polished Greek and the assumption that Peter would thus not have been able to write it. But 5:12 says that it was written with the help of Silvanus, similar to the way that Josephus had assistants help him with Greek. 1 Pete...

Re: Did the Jerusalem church even preach Jesus Christ?
But Peter is an apostle to the circumcised, so what is Peter's gospel if the point of Paul's gospel is telling Gentiles why they don't need to be circumcised? Is Peter's gospel about the Final Judgement? Is the whole story that all agreed that the Final Judgement was at hand and that faith in Jesus...

Re: Did the Jerusalem church even preach Jesus Christ?
But what was Peter's Gospel? It seems to me that what the Jerusalem church was engaged in was merely evangelical Judaism.
In my view that is all laid out by Peter himself in 1 Peter (in which he calls himself "an apostle of Jesus Christ"). It's that simple, I think.

Re: Did the Jerusalem church even preach Jesus Christ?
The leaders of the Jerusalem church advocate circumcision. Did they though? I get the impression that it was only the "false brothers" Paul mentions in Gal. 2:3-5 who advocated for Gentile circumcision. Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek...

No, you're hyperbolic on your face.
