I did NO such thing – but you can pretend that I did. The only “torment” I endure from your posts is in holding my tongue - instead of pointing out your narcissism . . .

All of your moronic euphemisms aside – Your entire argument collapses like a house of cards when you realize the following fact: Paul refers to Peter as “Cephas” in his letters. Tell me - WHY doesn’t he just call him “Petros”??

Ummm – WRONG. Paul isn’t writing about self-exalted leaders here in 1 Thess. 5:12, 1 Tim. 5:17 OR 1 Cor. 12:28. It's about those who were appointed. Matt. 23:12 Is about those who exalt themselves . . .

Of course non-Catholics are to blame for not understanding this passage. This is a falsehood that has been passed down since the dawn of the Protestant Revolt in the 16th century. Here is another verse that is continually misapplied by Protestants. First of all – Church hierarchy isn’t about...

At this point – I’m convinced that all of your “cosmic comedy” and “cha-cha” dancing nonsense is just a way of deflecting from your failure to address the issues. ONE more time . . . Jesus never used the words “Petros” or “Petra”. As I already informed you – Jesus was speaking Aramaic in Matt...

The Church’s leadership doesn’t ONLY consist of the Pope. There are Bishops and Priests in every diocese in the world who ALL have Authority. HOWEVER, the Bible tells us that Jesus appointed Peter to shepherd over His flock (John 21:15-19). The Bible doesn’t even make that claim about itself...

continued . . . "The name Peter (not now first given, but prophetically bestowed by our Lord on his first interview with Simon (John 1:42), or Cephas, signifying a rock, the termination being only altered from petra to petros to suit the masculine appellation, denotes the personal position of...

Protestant Scholars on Matt. 16:16-19 1. There is no distinction between "petros" and "petra." "In Aramaic 'Peter' and Rock are the same word; in Greek (here), they are cognate terms that were used interchangeably by this period." --Craig S. Keener,The IVP Bible Background Commentary New...

Most non-Catholics don’t understand 1 Tim. 2:5 because of their rebellious nature. The “ONE Mediator” description of Jesus points to the fact that only HIS sacrifice can bring peace between the Father and us. HOWEVER – this does NOT mean that there are NO other mediators. The Bible gives us...

Peter didn’t exalt himself. JESUS did. Now THIS a perfect example of why you have NO grasp of Scripture. Peter was specifically commanded by Jesus to pastor His flock. In the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20) - ALL of them were dispatched to teach and Baptize – NOT specifically to pastor His...

Jesus isn’t the only “Rock” in Scripture . . . In Isa. 51:1-2, Abraham is referred to as the “Rock”. That doesn’t nullify Jesus’s title as the “Rock“ or “Cornerstone” – nor does Peter’s title of “Rock” nullify this.

Correct. ALL Authority comes from Christ.

Peter alone was given this Authority by Jesus (Matt. 16:18-19). Where is the Scriptural proof that YOU were given this Authority? Peter alone was charged with this duty by Jesus (John 21:15-19). Where is the Scriptural proof that YOU were given this task? Luke 22:31-32 “Simon, Simon, Satan has...

This is false. The Catholic Church doesn’t teach that the leaders of the Church – act on their “own Authority”. It is by the Authority of Jesus Christ, per Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 1-:16, John 16:12-15 and John 20:21-23.

Yes, I've dealt with him before - and all of his convoluted Scriptural theories.

“Satan” simply means “adversary”. Peter’s advice to Jesus – although well-intentioned, we adversarial. Showing that Peter was a flawed human being doesn’t “disqualify” Him from any leadership role that Jesus chose to bestow upon him. I’m not sure who “You” is – but I’ve never claimed nor even...

Your problem – other than trying NOY to address some of these points, is in that you are trying to differentiate “Leader” from “Head of the Body”. Whereas, Jesus is the Head of the Body – Peter was appointed as the Earthly Head? This is NOT an unfamiliar theme in Scripture. Joseph was appointed...

Whereas, I agree with you that Calivinism is a bad comedy sketch – I’m not the one who cast a “spotlight” on Peter. The Scriptures did. a. Jesus handing Peter the keys – it's not Peter the locksmith; it's the Gospel unlocking hearts! In the Calvinistic script, we'd jest, "Keys to the Kingdom...

Ummmmm, NOT exactly . . . The Christian historian, Hippolytus of Rome, explains in his Commentary on the book of Daniel (c. A.D. 204) that the birth of Jesus was believed to have taken place on December 25th: “For the first advent of our Lord in the flesh, when he was born in Bethlehem, was...

Sorry - but the Scriptural evidence of Peter's Primacy s overwhelming . . . a. Tell me WHY Jesus singled out Peter when He gave him the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 16:18-19) if did not put him in charge. b. Tell me WHY Jesus asked Peter and Peter alone to feed His lambs and tend His...
