The Second letter of Peter is a document in which he criticizes Simon Magus; "For you now stand in direct opposition to me". Simon came from Gitta called (Getthon) in the country of the Samaritans. Simon lived in the city of Samaria and was known as a wise man. The Samaritans said of Simon, "This man is that power of God which is Great", a judgment which is only acclaimed to few people. He had made a name for himself and had won adherents by his magic arts. "Magus" is a reference to magic. By this time, there had been many small gentile pagan groups springing up who were also in a competition of sorts, a rival group, with the Congregation of Yeshua, "The Way". These gentile pagan groups, becoming known as Christians, was in reference to their mystical Iesous Khristos, who had accepted the teachings of Paul because he was a Roman citizen and Paul was such that he became what people wanted to believe. I believe it was this pagan, gentile group of people Peter was talking about when he said; There are "false teachers" who are distorting the authentic, apostolic tradition, and predicts a final judgment for them. He also explains that GOD has delayed the Second Coming of Yeshua, so that more people will have the chance to reject evil and find their salvation. He calls upon believers to wait patiently for the return of Yeshua and to study scripture. I believe this gives a truer account of what was happening during the time near the end of Peter's earthly life. By then, there had been a substantial pagan, gentile Christian group which had been established in the city of Rome. I greatly suspect that Peter was referring to that gentile, Christian religion as Babylon. I believe that from that time onward, Babylon was a type of codename for that Christian religion, especially those Christians in the city of Rome. Given this understanding, there is no way Peter would ever had become a bishop or Pope of Rome. Reading through Peter 1 and 2 I find it very odd that Peter gave no personal detail account about his Master and the years he had spent with Yeshua, his teacher and Master. There are no personal accounts of Yeshua's life as might have been expected. There are no details on Yeshua's life, nor of Yeshua's actual rendering of his teaching, or of his death. Peter only makes general reference to Yeshua's suffering. It seems strange that Peter had not sought to strengthen his authority by referring to his personal connection with Yeshua, the Founder of the true Faith. I also find it troubling that in Peter's letters, he made references from the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible. The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible was quite appropriate for an international Jewish audience who could not easily read the Hebrew and Aramaic text in their Tanakh. Peter was born and was brought up in Galilee, so he would not have to read Scripture in that form. The Septuagint was a Greek translation created at Alexandria for those Jews who conversed only in Greek and could not read in Hebrew or Aramaic. I also find that most critical scholars are skeptical about the authenticity of Peter's letters, given that it is a Greek translation and that they may not be authentic. Scholars date the epistle as broadly as 72 CE or 92 CE. Scholars believe that someone else had written these letters and the author drew from his or her own memory of things that Peter had said, or perhaps the letters were a translation in Greek from some original source material. Who ever translated or wrote these letters, I believe that the content is authentic. Peter's teachings like; The greatest commandment is "Fear the Lord thy GOD, and serve Him", and reference to observe the harmony between his teaching and that of the Jewish Didache and Didascalia. Idea's like "As you would not like to be murdered yourself, nor to have your wife commit adultery, nor to have your things stolen from you, so do not these things to others". That "Man is the true image of GOD" and that "The pure soul bears His likeness". The belief to honor GOD's image by offering food to the hungry and clothing to the naked, caring for the sick, sheltering the stranger, visiting those who are in prison, and affording the needy all the help we can give. Accordingly, Peter belief in regard to food, prayers, fasts, and ablutions are exactly as that of a pious Jew. Many passages show the close relation of Peter's teachings, to what is taught in rabbinical schools. Of course I must remember that this King James translation I am reading from comes from Christian sources and is not very reliable, given that all reference to Yeshua, the Anointed One, had been obliterated, and was replaced with that pagan, gentile, demigod, Je-Zeus Christ. I also question the authenticity of the letters in; 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus, which were found to be composed by someone else and had used Paul's name as its author. I think the early Christian church fathers had greatly embellished and reworked these text to suite their agenda to give strength to their false claim of Apostolic Succession to Peter.

There was a forged document written by the early Christian church fathers which was claimed to be genuine, a so-called Gospel of Peter, of which fragments were found in Akhmym, Upper Egypt, in the year 1886-87 CE, (see Harnack, "Bruchstücke des Evangelium und der Apocalypse des Petrus," 1893; Zahn, "Das Evangelium des Petrus," 1893), is of peculiar interest to any Jewish reader, inasmuch as, to judge from the fragments containing the story of the crucifixion, the whole is a product of fierce hatred towards the Jews, was later found to be a forgery. Peter, the original Apostle of Yeshua, was a Jew, and he was made the mouthpiece of the Christian Roman Catholic Church at a time when hostility to his kinsmen, the Jews, had become the albatross of the majority of Christians. Given this fact, the claim which is traditionally held by that apostate, pagan Christian church, that Peter was the first bishop of Rome, is totally false. Another document the Roman Catholic Church had passed off as genuine, was the history of the first century early church fathers which was presented as proof to Apostolic Succession to Peter. That document was also found to be a forgery written by their own hand. Such is the kind of truth which that apostate, pagan church and religion was built upon. The apostate, pagan religion of Christianity was built upon a lie, and as such, it will not prevail, not in this life, or in the new Earth which is to come. I tell you most certainly, those who hear the words of the Holy Spirit, and believes him who has sent me, will have eternal life, and will not come onto judgment, but will pass from death into eternal life.
