“I am sure that you follow word for word exactly the model of church development in Acts. Or are you making it all up as you go along?”

I’m not sure what you mean. Just so you know, though, in Acts 15 James presides over the church council and makes the decision (supposedly Peter’s job), so you should stay away from Acts, if I were you.

Exactly. If Jesus were ever to allow a 'man' to be head of His Church, it wouldn't be Peter but John The Baptist or Paul. Jesus is The Head and we, who are 'in Christ', are His Body. Jesus is The Sacrifice slain for us and rose, again, to Heaven from whence He came. Only worldly organizations have 'man' as their head.

"Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." Matt 11:11

Negatory. James does his job, as bishop over Jerusalem. Peter had not yet taken up his posting as bishop of Rome in any case. Acts sits rather easily with me.
