Paul's claim, in Galatians, that Peter supported the Pauline interpretation of Christianity is vigorously opposed: Paul is "the man who is my [Peter's] enemy" and anyone who suggests that Peter believed the "dissolution of the law" distorts the truth of God. Writing in the persona of Peter, the author attacks Paul's experience of the Risen Christ and his claims to visionary experience. "Truth" the author insists is one and unchanged from the beginning. Pauline Christianity depends on the false teaching of a dangerous innovator.

No truly Christian group that I know of.
Paul and Peter did have a few disagreements on matters such as circumcision of Gentile converts and Gentile converts following the Jewish dietary laws (read the Acts of the Apostles in the NT) but that doesn't mean they were enemies. They had a big meeting about this and worked it out. It was mutually decided that Gentile converts did not need to follow the old Jewish religious practices, and indeed the Jewish converts didn't have to either. It's all in Acts in the New Testament of the Bible. Try reading that instead of some heretical garbage written long afterward with the intention of fragmenting the Church.
2 Peter 3:15-18 -
"Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
17Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. 18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen."
1 and 2 Peter warn us against wolves in sheep's clothing who will try to deceive and divide God's elect. Still applies as much today as it did back then......

Per Peter, whoever came up with the Kerygmata Petrou was unlearned and wrested with the scriptures to their own destruction:
2 Peter 3:15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

None that I know of. How could one apostle be the enemy of another? You need to quit reading trashy liberal books that try to rewrite Christianity, and read the Bible through the eyes of faith a little more.

Anyone who rejects Paul's words in the Bible is not a Christian. For they weren't Paul's words, but they were Jesus' words. You are no Christian.
