All the Apostles except for John ran away from the Crucifixion...Jesus' brothers didn't accept Him as the Son of God...How do I know that??? Because John tells us so...
Didn't know anyone today was sooo cozy with the "brethren" of that day and their proclivities - even AFTER their years of such an assumed intimate family influence! Not one of them!! Like a Jewish mother would be apt to say ..."So, you were there??"
Lots of us are real cozy with the 'brethren'...Was I there??? Nope...Didn't need to be...John wrote all about it...And I read what John wrote...
I'm certain "arrangements" could have been made prior to this moment since the Christ could certainly foresee the ultimate faithfulness of the other disciples - esp. the one He called "Rock". No, not trustworthy at all - just the one He built His Church upon! After all, Peter had the experience of his own mother-in-law's care! Since "brethren" then were like "brethren" today, we all have a very large family indeed!!
I can't help it if you chose to believe that fairy tale instead of God's written words...Jesus built His church upon Himself...He is the way, the truth and the life, not Peter, not Paul, not Apollos...
I can’t help it if you chose to believe that fairy tale instead of God’s written words...
Says Pope Iscool the First, while ignoring the Bible time after time.
