What could be less sentient and more naive than trying to say that Peter was ministering to the circumcision when he wrote to the gentile northern Israelites in Asia minor?

He opens his epistle declaring that he was writing to the “strangers.” Checking Strong’s you will find that those strangers were the lost sheep of the dispersion, the very same people to whom Paul wrote most of his letters.

Wrong again. Peter, in his own words, was primarily writing to people of his Jewish race specifically, converted Jews of Israel who had been scattered in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, and giving them information as to how Jews foreign to those areas ought to relate to the natives of those areas. He was not writing to particular churches with problems particular to the church, nor to individuals in conducting personal affairs, as Paul was.

You've got your contexts mixed up, looks like. That will influence how the written material is to be interpreted and applied, as to the literal and/or figurative-literal sense. Nuances are important, here. At least, the well-known comentators suggest that.
