YES. If there was need, I would tell Peter that to his face that God's word supersedes his. What if Peter and the other 11 Apostles determined that your interpretation of the Bible was incorrect, and in fact, that their interpretation (which disagrees with yours) was the official teaching of the Church? Of course, you have to follow your conscience, but wouldn't the decision of the Apostles regarding the interpretation of the Scriptures have more weight and authority than your interpretation of the Scriptures?

Your point is still invalid unless a 2000 year old Apostle is still wandering around. Maybe Benny Hinn is really Peter:)
I have no problem following the scriptures. And I need no man to tell me what to believe. God gave me a mind and his complete word that I would need no one(besides Christ) to show me to salvation.
