Can I ask why you disagree?
My understanding is that early Christians expected the Parousia/Kingdom of Heaven within their lifetimes. One of Paul's letters addresses concerns that Christians who die beforehand would not enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven. The practical concerns of running an human church don't belong. So that alone should make a person suspicious about Matthew 18:21-22 IMO. (I actually became suspicious of those verses when I was a teenager. It didn't sound like Jesus to me.)

Also I have a lot of respect for Geza Vermes, and I was quoting his book. Here is some info on Vermes:
