***Actually, if I were to select a place where I thought Peter was installed as a pope, I think it should be when he walked on water. And the installation would be when Christ’s hand touched Peters. Is that not great stuff?

But he didn’t have enough faith to accomplish the task. Matthew 14:30.***

I don’t think that any of them really understood Jesus to be God until Pentecost. There were hints and attempts to get through to them, though. Peter was gotten to enough that Jesus pinned the office of Pope on him.

I think the great point here is that of COURSE Peter "didn't have enough faith.

Anybody here claim to have any more Faith than what was given to him? Not me, for sure. Everything I have that is worth anything was and continues to be a gift. It's ALL gift. All of it.
