I’m sorry, what exactly do you want me to show from history and directly from the Apostles’ teaching?

“I’m sorry, what exactly do you want me to show from history and directly from the Apostles’ teaching?”

In your earlier post, you claimed that only the roman magisterium could decide between Elsie’s view and the roman view - using tradition.

Clearly, if something is actual fact in history, it is germane to the decision. If not, it arose sometime later and cannot be used with accuracy. To be Apostolic teaching or tradition, is had to be taught or followed from the time of the Apostles forward. If it was not, to call it apostolic tradition is false.

In this case, Elsie pointed out that Peter was referred to as Peter previously. Your post detailed variations on that theme and concluded that the roman ministerium was needed to resolve that dilemma.

My point was simply that if something was historical tradition, we all would inform our Bible study based on actual history and the ministerium was not needed for that purpose.
