Paul is one of the two greatest Apostles of the Church. He saved the Church when it was headed for oblivion by bringing it to the pagans and Gentiles.

So you're saying that the churches were falling apart under the leadership of Peter...After all, one of your favorite claims is that Peter is the one who brought the Gospel to the Gentiles...

And how could the church have been headed for oblivion??? The gates of hell could not prevail against it, remember???

Christianity was failing until Paul gave it that shot in the arm. Favourite claims? I told you that Peter was the first man to convert a Gentile. Let us examine Scripture.

Acts 10 is the story of Cornelius and his conversion and it is a strong demonstration of the authority of Peter as the first man to lead the Church after Jesus Ascended.
