Why Christians Call Mary the Mother of God.

[BreadOfLife]

Peter, Peter, Peter…comedic spoof.

And yet NOBODY seems to be able to refute the Scriptural evidence of Peter’s Praimacy . . .

 

[BreadOfLife]

And yet God had Paul write the majority of the New Testament which outlines Church Doctrine.

Any WHY do you suppose Paul never refers to Peter as “Peter”?

Instead, he refers to him as “Cephas”, which is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew word, “Kepha”, which means “ROCK” (1 Cor. 3:22, 1 Cor. 9:5, Gal. 1:18, Gal. 2:11).

This is the name Jesus gave him in Matt. 16:

Matt. 16:18
And so I say to you, you are Peter (Kepha), and upon this rock (Kepha), I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it..

Paul understood his primacy – even though YOU refuse to . . .

Peter was NOT preeminent.

Interesting how you were unable to address ANY of the Scriptural evidence I presented for Peter’s Primacy . . .

For their rock is not as our Rock…

Matt 10:
[5] These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

Oh… hello Paul.

All worked out okay…
Peter, Paul and Mary… friends

One within the scope of everybody leturing on the dangers of Everybody Preaching opinions…

Irony.

And therein lies the danger pf everybody interpreting Scripture for themselves – without understanding the differences and nuances of the Biblical languages as compared to 21st century English.

In Acts 15 - James doesn’t say that HE is deciding for the group. He is simply saying that he is giving his OPINION – his “2 cents”, as it were. There are several words for judging and giving opinions.

The usual Greek word for making a judgment or decree (Rom. 2:3) is κριμα (kree'-mah).

The word used in Acts 15:19 is κρινο (kree'-no), which means to give an opinion or a point of view.
James wasn’t making a decree. He was concurring with Peter.

James didn’t make the decision. He simply agreed with Peter’s conclusion in Acts 15:7-11.

Don't just quote Scripture - LEARN what it means . . .

I can read it better than you. Acts 15:13 -After they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, listen to me. Do you read that, It is James who takes control. It is James who quotes scripture, It is James who makes the Judgement. Acts 15:19 - therefore, it is my Judgment that we (James is speaking for everybody) do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles.

Learn what that means and don't just quote Scripture.
