No, he HAD been married, but when Jesus asked him at the lakeside, "feed my sheep," Peter knew he could never do that and properly care for a wife as well. So he divorced her but left her well provided for, with a house and the sale of his business.

The other apostles, much younger than Peter, had not yet married when called.

Where is that in the Bible? I am not trying to be confrontational, I just have never heard that and would like to know about it.

Where on earth did you get this foolishness? Peter sold his "business"? Who bought it? And where does it say that Peter "divorced"?

The other apostles, much younger than Peter, had not yet married when called.

And where did this come from?

"Peter knew he could never do that and properly care for a wife as well. So he divorced her ..."

Huh?

What qualifies you to manufacture your own historical "facts?" I believe that domain belongs to the far left. Are the Gnostic heresies being revived?
