What is the "error"? That Peter didn't know Gentiles could be saved? If he knew Gentiles could be saved, why were they all astonished when Cornelius received the Spirit? Why was it the first time the Jewish believers who confronted Peter when he got back to Jerusalem (after having gone to...

You didn't read carefully : I said Peter didn't know Gentiles could be saved IN ACTS 10, WHEN HE WENT TO CORNELIUS. It is obvious that he knew Gentiles could be saved by Acts 15--I never would argue to the contrary, since he received that revelation in Acts 10, and the number 10 precedes 15 ...

All I said was it is clear to me that Christ meant Peter was the rock He would build His Church on, and I gave my reasons for believing that--and I still believe it, because your empty objections are irrelevant and laughable!

Ok we disagree.

I'm not arguing about who got there first, I'm saying John intentionally put himself BEHIND Peter on that occasion AND on the occasion at the end of the Gospel, and that is in addition to the fact that it was Peter who walked on the water with Jesus; when Peter said, "I'm going fishing", after...

This I actually arrived at on my own. Actually, it was, apparently, a "wild west" back then, and there was no absolute "Church teaching", because, apparently, the Jewish believers had some sort of expectation of Peter, and Peter was afraid of them, so he was trying to satisfy their...

I don't have to deny the obvious. John got to the tomb first, but let Peter go in first, and, at the end of the Gospel, John put himself BEHIND Peter and Jesus. Peter was called the rock, and on the rock, He built His church : Peter preached at Pentecost, and Peter first went to the Gentiles...

I thought I treated what you'd said as "not playing with a full deck of cards".

I agree Peter is the Rock the Church is built on, and how the Apostles decide--an example of this is when Paul, who says he is present with them in spirit when they gather together, has passed judgment on the brother, and has delivered him over to satan for the destruction of his flesh. Oops...

I don't like everything about Calvinism--and I know you're RC--but I really like how they hammer this point home : a SINGLE sin saw Adam die and be kicked out of the Garden, so that's how high the standard is, therefore, there is no way other than honoring Christ's sacrifice (as all mankind...

Bullseye.

1. This is called "slander" : I don't conceive of "being led by the Spirit into all truth" as you do, so I have no problem at all believing and affirming that the Spirit is guiding many who disagree with me (including in the EO and RC churches, Calvinists and Arminians, Cessationists and...

Yeah, I don't need anyone to tell me 1+1=2, and there're many doctrines that are perceptible, and then there are hard ones for which i have looked to others for conclusions others have come to (including the EO and RC churches), and if I don't find them completely satisfactory, I discuss on the...

When I come across people who are married to dishonesty, who never admit when their views clearly don't agree with Scripture--when it's clear they're not playing with a full deck of cards--I don't waste my resources, I just put them on ignore (unless I'm letting them bring objections so answers...

There isn't a verse you won't abuse, so there's no point. Au revoir.

Yeah, Jesus says I'm not good, only God is, so is my HONESTY about it the problem? I'm not God. Is that a surprise to you?

I'm not a good guy--God is good, and I rely on His righteous act of mercy every moment--but don't these people care to recognize the disparity between what they purport and the obvious testimony of Scripture? It is dishonesty, plain and simple to ignore it like they do--but they pat themselves...

That said, I'm not a QP "professor", so anyone who knows better, and wants to interact with the post, and challenge me on it, and help improve it, is welcome to.

You're not going to understand the Bible as long as you rely on classical physics ("Either Christ loses none, or He loses some--you can't say anyone falls away AND He loses none are both true!"); Quantum Physics is the way the world actually works, and is the only basis whereby Scripture coheres...

Irrelevant : if your "god" doesn't forget righteousness, but only forgets sin, it isn't the Bible's God, it is idolatry, because the God of Scripture is able to forget not only sin (which attribute you cherry pick and arbitrarily grant, while disallowing and disbelieving the other attribute...
