Now all grampa has to do, is prove that conversation actually happened. He can't. It's fiction ... obviously for SO many reasons.
It's a perfect example of postdiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postdiction
Obviously NO JEW would ever say what Peter is claimed to have said, AND in fact deny him later after the trial, if he actually bought this BS ... (as demonstrated in the article from a Jewish encyclopedia .. a view generally accepted by scholars ... and there is NO SCHOLARLY resource that says differently). The verses reflect a MUCH LATER view from a community which, by then, had established views of the events.
Gramps really should take Bible 101, and learn some basics before pretending he knows anything about the NT. He doesn't.
There was NO SUCH THING (at the time that was supposedly uttered) as a "church". NO. SUCH. THING. So Jesus couldn't possibly have said that.
Jesus (if he even existed) was a Apocalyptic Jew who thought the end-times were immanent. Why then "build a *church*" ? Make no sense at all.
In fact the Greek word that is translated "church" was "ecclesia" which means *community*. Jesus was a Jew, who NEVER EVER said his mission was to build some sort of new community.
Sorry. Once again, gramps loses, and it's nothing but child's-play to rebut the crap.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
