See, here, you a saying that the Pope authority is not based on scripture. We disagree, I can make my points and you can show yours, but, I doubt we will come together on this point, which is sad, and a sign to me, that there is evil in the world.

But, we do agree on what Jesus said are the two most important commandments.

"37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”"

And that Evil looks back at you in mirror and is present in the woman you converse this Evil with.

Are you feeling helpful?

It appears the dead souls lack confidence to continue discussing their mythology . Perhaps they fear their idiocy will convince other sheep that faith in comic book characters, should they choose, would be more worth the effort then faith in the failed jew god.

C'est la vie, even ceasing the discussion creates an advantageous reversion atmosphere.

Thanks, Dead Souls. Rejoice the waning of your misguided faith.

Worry about you soul.

Placing a period at the end doesn't create, automatically, a complete sentence.

You did understand the message?

I believe that scripture does not confirm your belief.

> Peter referred to himself as a fellow-elder among the other elders...not as "leader of the church". (1Peter 5)

> It was James, not Peter, who presided over the Council of Jerusalem. Others spoke before Peter and after Peter. (Acts 15)

> It was James, not Peter, who decided and pronounced church doctrine at the Council of Jerusalem. (Acts 15)

> The power to "bind" and "to loose" was given to all the Apostles (Matt 18) and we see James "binding" and "loosing" at the Council of Jerusalem. (Acts 15)

> We read of Paul making disciplinary decisions in the church, in fact, Paul called out Peter for being a hypocrite. (Gal 2)

> Paul identified James, Peter, and John equally as "pillars" of the church. (Gal 2)

> Jesus specifically told the Apostles that there was to be no lordship or ruler (kyrieuo) among them as in Gentile kingdoms, that no one among them was to be master (exousiazo) of the body. (Luke 22)

> The first time the resurrected Jesus appeared to eleven of the Twelve, He breathed the Holy Spirit upon them all and gave them all the power to remit sins. (John 20)

> What are the keys of the kingdom?

Firstly, of course the words of the Apostle Paul and the Prophet Silas: believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16)

Peter expounds on the keys that will supply an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2Peter 1):

1. Faith
2. Virtue
3. Knowledge (of God and of Jesus Christ)
4. Self-control
5. Perseverance
6. Godliness
7. Brotherly kindness
8. Love

Thumper, do you really believe that Peter was the only Apostle given these keys to the Kingdom by Jesus? Were not these keys which open the Kingdom of Heaven given by Jesus to the other Apostles? Are they not given in the journey of sanctification by His Spirit to all of God's elect from the foundation of the world?


Thumper, why are RC priests/popes forbidden to marry? Do you know that Holy Scripture condemns this and says it is a doctrine of devils? (1Tim 4) You do know that Peter was married throughout his entire ministry on earth?


Thumper, where in canonized Biblical Scripture does God's Word tell us that Peter's descendants should rule over His church? Nowhere!
