Matthew 16:23
God you are very ignorant of the Bible. Ever heard of St Peter?
napscoordinator, you are not only falsely accusing your brother but at the same time using Gods name in vain proving you are the one guilty of ignorance. For shame!
“GOD you are very ignorant of the Bible. Ever heard of St Peter?”
Who’s “ignorant of the Bible”? Seems I read in the Bible that “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” (Exodus 20:7) Blaspheming by flinging around “God” is very, very naughty.
Most likely everyone has heard of Peter, who was/is as much a “saint” as I am. (And I am. All born again Christians are referred to as saints in the New Testament.) Now the Catholic church shakes some chicken bones over some mortal and pronounces him/her a “saint”. Not Scriptural in any way.
Also not Scriptural is saying “abracadabra” and decreeing that Peter is a/the pope. There is no connection in the Bible. The same person could’ve said that the desciple John morphed into his Great Aunt Fanny and that would have been equally logical — which is not logical at all.
“The rock” referred to is Jesus Christ; not Peter.
It would be nice if people would study and learn instead of sopping and believing up fairy tales made up by mortal men. Most Freepers are adamant that the Constitution be adhered to, and that it’s the final authority for the country. Why can’t they give that same honor and respect to the Bible, the Final Authority for Christianity? Sad.
I've heard of Peter and Paul and James....but not St. Peter.
He a new guy?
btw....are you saying God is ignorant of the Bible.....because you address Him directly in your opening sentence.
There is no St. Peter in the Bible, so who is the ignorant one???

Matthew 16:23
St. Peter is claimed by the Church as being the first Pope.
However, if you asked Peter himself, he would have no idea of what you are talking about as the papacy had not been instituted in his lifetime. The Bishop of Rome for many centuries was regarded as just that, the Bishop of Rome. There were many Christian groups competing for power and authority for many centuries after Christ’s death and resurrection. It took Rome centuries to consolidate its power and establish itself as the HQ of the Church. Then you had schisms, most notably in 1054, when the Church in the East separated from Rome and the Eastern Orthodox Church was established. In addition, the papacy was moved to France in the Middle Ages for a period of time.
