If you regard Peter as the first ‘pope’, why do you speak little or nothing of his actions and words, concerning obedience to God?

False teachings in the post Pentecost (Acts 2) era had already begun in his days, as well as during the ministries of Paul, John, Jude, and even James, who closes his epistle out with the instruction about “if any of you err from the truth”.

Paul and Barnabas encountered, on their FIRST missionary journey, one that would “not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord”.

On his last missionary tour, Paul warned that some of the followers in his midst would lead souls into perverse teachings.

Peter pounded home the Acts 2:38 conversion, even aluding to it many years later in his writings (1Peter 3:20,21). Where is his ‘Lords supper communion, or hell’, that you seem to adhere to?

None of the aforementioned, and neither the Son of God himself, ever used the phrase “God the Son”, in defining Jesus Christ. Do you?

These kinds of scattered references to scripture make no sense. You apparently cannot answer the clear teachings of Christ as understood by his early followers. And of course, the thousands of theologians, scholars, historians, philosophers, writers, and essayists both Catholic, and non-Catholics who converted to Catholicism, after years of research, teaching, and deep contemplation, were all misled!!!!

And apparently you think the Holy Spirit that guided the Church to determine the True written Word of God for over 300 years that helped assemble the Books in the Bible suddenly vanished when Luther appeared on the scene! And abandoned the Church to allow anyone and everyone from Luther to Calvin to Joel Osteen, Billy Graham, and Rev. Jeremiah Wright the “authority” to crack open the pages of the Bible and give their own “authoritative” interpretation! Christ established one Church to preach and teach His one truth and for all times and even the gates of hell shall not prevail against the teachings of His Church.

Here’s a partial list
