Precious friends, just released for your prayerful/Careful consideration; and please pray for all
precious roman catholics, as they also should have/know/believe God's Precious Word Of Truth,
Even as we do, eh?:
"Doubtless you have heard of Saint Peter, but you must not believe all that you have heard about him.
He is not here to defend himself against all these false reports, so it seems unfair to take advantage of
him during his absence. He is still living and he is coming back to earth someday. Now this is not a false
report. This is the truth.
Peter has been accused of being the first pope of Rome....
For anyone who really desires to rid the story of Simon Peter of falsehood and fiction, there is first-hand
information, and it will do your soul good to get acquainted with this intensely human character—not a myth,
but a real-to-goodness natural man, just like the rest of us, who came in contact with a Supernatural Power
that transformed his life...
...Peter never went to Rome. It was Paul who wrote to the Romans and later visited Rome, where he died.
Paul, by no means, preached to the Gentiles at Rome what Peter preached twenty-five years before at
Jerusalem.
The believing Gentiles at Rome were justified without a cause. They received, through Paul, what
uncircumcised Abraham received without the deeds of the law: the righteousness of God by faith
(Rom. 4:3-11)...
...The true Church of God at Rome in the first century believed in God’s truth in the Epistle to the
Romans—but the Roman Catholic Church has drifted far away from the gospel of grace contained
in that epistle. Well, what has this to do with Simon Peter?
He has been accused of having something to do with the establishment of the present Church of Rome.
Their claim is that the papal authority has been handed down from Peter and that the present pope is on
St. Peter’s throne by the process of apostolic succession. There is only one case of apostolic succession
in the Bible: Matthias succeeded Judas (Acts 1:21-26).
Certainly, Peter had no God-given authority over the Gentile churches. Therefore, it is not scriptural to
say that Paul succeeded Peter in authority. But it is scriptural to say that Paul received from Christ in
heaven, a commission, a message, a ministry that superseded the message and ministry committed
unto Peter by Christ.
Paul received his authority from heaven without conferring with those who were apostles before him
(Gal. 1:12,17). Both Peter and Paul had their Christ-given authority and ministry..." (JC O'Hair)
