Well, I do believe that one man can be more important than others. After all, Our Lord chose some men to be more important than others, and Peter the most important of those.

WRONG! That is the thinking of a natural man. Let me introduce you to HIS Supernatural WORD and what HE tells us..

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. Is 55:8

For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts. Is 55:9

So....

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to HIM, and He will make your paths straight." Provers 3:5,6

Catholics submitted to 'man made teachings'/natural and not Jesus The Word/supernatural.

Oh??

Mark 10:37
They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory."

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

The apostles are NOT more important than anyone else. We are all called to do what God has set before us, personally and individually to do.

When we do that in faithfulness to God, we bring HIM the honor and glory, not ourselves.

The idea that some people are more important than others is liberalism at its finest. It's a lie from the enemy.

Philippians 3:3-9 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.

7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith
