Paul said of himself that he went out to represent the gospel to the
gentiles while Peter held the same role for the jews.

Yet God picked Peter to bring the gospel to the *gentiles*. Paul, who never met
Jesus, helped but Peter was picked by God.
Acts 15:7 (New International Version)
7After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know
that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from
my lips the message of the gospel and believe

Peter did not act
in matters of evangelism the major or universal role nor did he
superceed Paul in the missionary activities that spread to distant
areas.

Yet the primacy of Peter by Jesus is totally reflected throughout the 4 gospels.
IN addition, It was Peter who heard directly from the Father, and to whom Jesus
gave the keys to the kingdom of God, to bind on earth to be so in heaven.
Mat 16:13-20
Paul and Peter acted in concert in many things, as also did St.

John and Peter in the early church.

The very obvious highest authority of the church was the council to
which authority and power all bowed in the final concensus.

The various roles and relationships of one to another in the early
church as recorded in scripture doesn't provide for the later defined
role of pope, and in contrast Peter himself is the clear example of
scripture as not fullfilling that role as seen above.

You should try reading the NT, jw. It's all right there in Mat 16:13-20
and
Acts 15:7.

God has a special function for those whose names he changes:
Abrahm to Abraham
Simon to Peter
Saul to Paul.

It's an invention of the RCC intended to create iron-fisted CONTROL of
the masses.


Why would Christ tell the RCC to do that?


***Christ didn't because the RCC as a separate Church did not ezxist byh
that name until AFTER the Great Schism. It's amazing how you RCs deny that
the Church existed long before Peter and Paul got to Italia.


I guess I'll have to repeat my story to your again.

Christ declared his church to be (c)atholic = katholicis in Greek =
one(ness) =
universal = Catholic (Eastern and western versions) = Roman Catholic when
the
Eastern Church checked out.

***Sorry. Christ never used the term "catholic." The first known recorded
use of that word to describe the universality of The Church was in 92 A.D.


You sure do have trouble keeping up with the story.

***Your story stretches the minds of the intyelligent waaaaay too much!


You have a lot of trouble following scripture, which is a slam dunk for
the RCC.

***Are you really trying to tell me that Holy Scripture rules your church's
theology and dogma? Please don't say that. My RC wife, a Third Order
Franciscan and student of RCC theology, tells me you are on thin ice with
this line of "reasoning."

And you have trouble seeing the truth when it is presented to you. The

Christ had a habit of nicknaming his Apostles. Thomas was called
"Didymos", or "the twin". Two other Apostles were called "The sons of
Thunder", etc...Your claim does not prove anything about the papacy.
You are grabbing at straws. Using Mat 16:13-20 and Acts 15:7 does NOT,
nor will it ever, be able to prove Rome's claim to the papacy. As I
have explained before, Peter established other regional churches
(which is all Rome was from the beginning) long before he ever stepped
foot in Rome. Antioch would have a much better claim to authority than
Rome ever would. You are just a RC broken record and a revisionist...

Jw, how can you call yourself a Christian and turn on Christ and what he taught
us like that. You need to go to confession.
