You've told me all I need to know about where you stand with respect to the Word of God by comparing the Apostle Paul to Joseph Smith. You don't trust it. You trust in an earthly institution and would rather undermine the Word than undermine that institution. I can believe those things you say about Peter without having to put my faith in an earthly institution in the manner you require, and certainly without having to cast aside the words of an Apostle when they don't jibe with what I want to believe.

I don't worship the Bible as an object...I worship the Word contained therein because it is the Word of Truth. I don't set it upon an altar and kneel before it. I don't perform solemn rituals in its presence. I certainly don't look for imprints of my Bible in pieces of toast! :)

I have no interest in the "Christianity" you espouse when it involves wanton dismissal of the words of an Apostle just to suit your paradigm. I'm sorry Paul was bold enough to rebuke Peter when he was clearly wrong. Get over it. Cling to Christ, not to Peter.
