Seems to me that Paul didn’t entirely respect Peter’s views.
May we find our lineage in Christ, not Peter. May we find our home in heaven, not Rome. May we promote Jesus, and not our particular denomination.
Yes, Roman Catholicism is one of the branches of faith whose root finds itself in Christ. Personally, I am grateful for the “remnant” that has continued through the root of Christ, separate from the heresies that emerged over centuries in the dominant denomination.
Again, I please with all who find their home in Rome: Let us promote Christ. May He increase, and our denominational preferences decrease. Let us think how we can spur one another on to deeper faith in Christ, rather than look for ways to slam the way others follow Him.
If you are a Christ-follower, you will meet me in heaven. He has welcomed me as a member of His family; please, consider me a full member of the family of God as well, a full participant in His church: the full body of those who follow Him. Don’t demean my faith in Jesus because I’m not a member of your particular denomination, your particular branch from the root of Jesus.
Maybe you didn’t read the article above?
**The same Paul who has called Christ the only foundation, tells his Ephesian converts (2:20):—”Ye are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone.” And in like manner we read (Rev 21:14) :—”The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.” **
Thank you
Facts are facts. You might not like them, or find them unpalatable, but they are still there.
I was a protestant but I jumped over when I realised I was wrong about the facts of the early church.
I realise that others disagree and that is fine with me. You don’t have to answer to me, you answer to God himself.
