Quote:Peter was an important and influential apostle in the early church.The Bible clearly demonstrates that Peter was the first among equals in the early church.But why does the Bible nowhere describe Peter as participating in the things that would support the papal invention?Why is there no instance where the other apostles accepted or treated Peter as their pope?

Quote:Well, for over a THOUSAND years, they did, in fact, teach just that. The RCC was the "REPLACEMENT FOR THE JEWS" and all the blessing bestowed upon Israel and the Jews, were negated and transferred to the thugs living in palaces on the Tiber.

Quote:Peter was present at the First Council in Jerusalem, wasn't he?
Quote: His account of Acts 15 follows the usual Catholic rhetoric. "He delivers apostolic teaching . . . and stilled the debates raging back and forth and caused the whole assembly to fall silent. . . . it was through Peter that the revelation (regarding the status of the Gentiles) was given to the Church at the council. In essence, Peter was saying to the Church: 'Here is what we have to do, brothers. The Lord delivered the answer to me.'"However, we find the actual text to be quite different. Peter does give a good synopsis of what God had taught him at the house of Cornelius, but the people kept silent so they could hear Paul and Barnabas. Verse 13 says (after Peter spoke), "Then the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul . . ."The clincher, of course, comes with verse 19, when James stood up and said, "Therefore my sentence is . . ." The word sentence is from the Greek krino, which means to decide. The Douay Bible has James saying, "For which cause I judge . . .". This is after he had referred to Peter's statement but had exegeted the prophetic writings concerning the salvation of the Gentiles.Note also that nothing of was contained in James' sentence, or decision, was specifically what Peter had said. So there goes the "substantial and explicit" scriptural evidence.More . . .

Quote:Sid, why didn't you quote the whole of Acts 10:25?"When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him."Showing respect to the Pope is not falling down to WORSHIP him!
Quote:Acts 10:25 (KJV) And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped [him].26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
