please define this in the OT

previously discussed. Now this name of Peter was given him by the Lord, and that in a figure, that he should signify the Church. For seeing that Christ is the rock, Peter is the Christian people. For the rock is the original name. Therefore Peter is so called from the rock; not the rock from...

did you catch the part where Peter is one of many giving their opinions and evidences (("after much discussion" v.7)) all became silent hearing Paul & Barnabas also give testimony ((v.12)) then James, leading the entire assembly, cites Peter's comments and tests it against scripture ((v.15))...

wow, lol at 'we want a king like the nations around us' it's a spiritual body, and Christ is the head. ask Peter. ask Paul. ask Christ. 'rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious' 'strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will scatter' 'My kingdom is not of this world' 'hope that is...

show me that in the Law? Christ is our High priest not after Levi, but after Melchizedek.

James mentions 'elders' not priests. however: pray one for another (James 5:16) using your private definition, all are ministerial priests, with Christ our High Priest

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (Colossians 2:8) do you pray to people?

previously discussed. Christ is the head of His church ((Colossians 1:18))

for the rest: not worth responding to ((previously debunked in earlier posts)), but writing so you don't think i haven't read it.

hang on just a minute there kiddo. this isn't 'anti-Peter' this is reality. Peter made all kinds of mistakes. they're recorded in scripture for a reason. Peter was not 'chief over all the apostles' -- heck i can make the case that Judas was their leader, apart from Christ. put John 12 &...

now the context of 2 Corinthians 2 is 1 Thessalonians 5? weird.

as far as the east is from the west! †

we also see Samson tearing the gates of Gaza off the city walls, carrying them for miles, and throwing them off a cliff praise God!!

And if we too have said like Peter, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,’ not as if flesh and blood had revealed it unto us, but by light from the Father in heaven having shone in our heart, we become a Peter, and to us there might be said by the Word, ‘You are Peter,’ etc. For a rock...

interesting.. I who am a fellow elder (1 Peter 5:1) Peter doesn't call himself 'chief' but 'a fellow' among many the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4) Peter calls Christ chief, not himself all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility (1 Peter 5:5) Peter encourages all...

Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7)

previously discussed. we decided i'm catholic, per its actual meaning. however i'm not papist, i don't regard a goddess, and i know that authority resides with God, rather than men. i am sorry if reading that upsets you, but it does bear constant repeating, given the connotation men have...

how can you say you love your brother if you don't tell him when he's wrong?

but getting back to this, dear child -- there is an immediate context that seems to escape you: Now whom you forgive anything, I also (2 Corinthians 2:10a) Paul forgives anything 'you' forgive -- that you being the general parishioner in Corinth. why? because, Christ. because Matthew 18:18 --...
