Peter’s dream sounds good to me, I’m a meat eating man. But wasn’t it also Peter who had a wife, became the first Pope, and then his church turned around and said wives are not allowed? What’s good today is bad tomorrow, so maybe I better research that “herb bearing seed” instruction again before my waistline makes it impossible to hold a book!
Wives are not allowed WHAT?
Peter’s dream sounds good to me, too, and yes, Peter had a wife. But he was not the first pope. In fact, he was never a pope. He never went to Rome. As for Peter’s church, it never taught priestly celibacy, or an order of priests. His church taught the priesthood of the believer and allowed the clergy to marry, which is precisely what Baptists and mainline Protestants have always believed.
