Peter offered very little of spiritual revelation in the bible.. except for his gross mistakes.. All other writers of the new testestament and the old one too.. were much deeper and richer in thought.. and spiritual insight..
Peter was pretty much a spiritual doofus.. or schelmiel.. or even schmozzle.. The Barney Fife of the New Testament.. Useing him as a model should be re-thunk... Ya think?..
Every now and then you post something that reflects an ignorant and angry attitude, and at the same time does not contain anything to argue about logically. That is your opinion? Fine. Now get lost. I do not argue with opinions.
I dunno, my dear brother. However, lest ye forget, Jesus Himself seems to set great store by the dude. FWIW, I don't think He would have done that, in the case of "a spiritual doofus," a "Barney Fife...."
Absolutely, 100% NOT!
I'm a klutz, a doofus, a schlemazzle -- all that and more! (or less!) (And one of my favorite sergeants had a picture of Barney Fife above his desk -- but I'm not sure that counts.)
We keep saying this and it feels like nobody is listening. Jesus is great. You can count on that. You cannot count on the Pope being great. You can count on Jesus' promise to the Church.
They say, as I never tire of saying, that Mount Sinai is a pretty scuzzy mountain. You don't come away from it saying,"Wow, what a mountain!" You come away from it saying, "Wow, what a revelation, what a wonderful Torah, what a great God!"
Yeah, you get a guy like JPII and he's pretty impressive. But even he will tell you that the POINT is to say not,"Wow! That is some pope!" but "Wow, that is some Lord!"
