[OLD REGGIE]

That Jesus predicted the renaming the first time He met Peter does not nullify Metther 16 where the complete account of the actual renaming is given.

Bunk! Jesus did not "predict". He named him "Peter" then and there.

Peter was one among other leaders at this "council" and was subordinate to James

Not what the scripture said. Peter rose, spoke, and all agreed. St. James as the presider, approved the letter.

More bunk! James "my judgment is..." presided and pronounced his judgment.

Jesus did not "predict". He named him "Peter" then and there [in John 1:42]

John 1:42 says "thou shalt be called Cephas", future tense. However, I agree that possibly Jesus named Simon Peter as son as He met him, and in Matthew 16 He explains why. Now, is your argument that the name Peter was chosen without connection to the foundation of the Chruch that Christ said He will build in Matthew 16?

James "my judgment is..." presided and pronounced his judgment

Like I said, "Peter rose (Acts 15:7), spoke (vv 7-11), and all agreed (v 12). St. James as the presider, approved the letter (vv 19-20)." You seem to have forgotten what you are arguing about.
