“Like ‘Thou shalt not judge.’? Seems fairly straight forward to me.”
Do you mean, “Judge not lest ye be judged”? If so, that was not a blanket statement for every situation in one’s life. It was specifically spoken to the Pharisees for one particular situation. The whole Bible is a textbook on how to judge. Read Proverbs.
“And what does Peter have to do with damning people?) Seriously? Two dots on the page and you can’t connect them?”
Sorry. In my years growing up in a parsonage, and the following four years in Seminary... Peter damning people never came up. Cult?
I guess you really are an expert on being self-righteous.
Nasty people, the self-righteous.
And since you have no apparent understanding of cultural paradigms, let me connect the two self-evident dots for you.
Peter has long been referenced as guarding the gates of heaven, as in deciding who gets in and who doesn’t. Thus the reference to you taking over his job.
I guess that never came up in your parsonage and seminary years, and you’ve avoided all cultural references.
What a self-righteous biddy, setting yourself up as the judge of other people’s soles and hiding behind parsed scripture in the process.
