Since we are talking about what The Christ called Peter, let's not forget what Peter called Jesus when asked.

¹⁵ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
¹⁶ Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
¹⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

^{Notice Peter called Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God, not God the Son. We have taken His title, The Christ, and made it His last name.}

^{He told Peter it was not flesh and blood, man, but Jesus' Father in heaven who reveled that truth to Peter.}

^{Man renamed Jesus, God the Son, 100s of years later by in a council with a majority vote. They called all who would not go along with them heretics and kicked them out of their church.}

^{We wouldn't be having the conversation this post is based on if not for that vote. Mary would be the virgin mother of the Son of God as she is in scripture. That is all that is needed for Jesus to be born without a sin nature. When she became the mother of God, all the other attributes had to be placed on her you all think are fine and dandy. We wouldn't be to talking about her statues and people praying to her. How much simpler things would be. We all would spend our time loving our Father in heaven with all our hearts and soul and strength as Jesus taught instead of sharing His time with Mary and/or a saint or saints.}

^{I only have one questions to the Catholics out there. Are you still going to claim Peter as your first Pope when he couldn't even get the trinity thingy right?}

^{There were many post speaking to the nature of The Christ. To both Catholics and Christians I have this question;}

^{"Do you think a righteous God could condemn His creation, Adam and us, if He couldn't prove Adam and us could live a sinless life?"}

^{May God the Father lead us to His truth, BVB}
