Quote:Bismillah:
i think you should read this..
please note that the Apocalypse of Peter (the Revelations sent to Peter) was directly written and spoken by Peter himself, unlike the Gospels of the New Testament, This Revelation was widely accepted and believed in by the early Christians during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries. The early Christians clearly rejected the lies of crucifixion and trinity! but you and CC said that they are not real Christians... so who knows.

please note, after reading this link you will notice that
1- Jesus, peace be upon him, clearly never got crucified according to the Revelation. <b>He spoke about the "substitute" that got crucified in his place that perfectly matches the Noble Quran's Divine Claims:</b>
"That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjunction to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them. (The Noble Quran, 4:156-159)"
2- Peter according to the NT and to the Apocalypse was the only one who witnessed the crucifixion. There is even further evidence in Hebrews 5:7 of the NT that clearly support Peter's Apocalypse.
3- Jesus pointed to the Arabs as the future race when he called them "<b>another race." </b> Even the New Testament supports this quote very well:
"Therefore say I unto you, <b>The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation </b> bringing forth the fruits thereof. (Matthew 21:43)"
actually there are many other points to mention, but these are enough for your to ponder, if you care.
Salam
Wael.
That Gnostic text is no part of scripture and never was. You may as well quote an article from the New York Times which states that Christ wasn't crucified. That book was not written by the apostle Peter. Read the rest of what Peter wrote and did in the book of Acts and you'll see that he knew that Christ was crucified and resurrected.
