Oh I don’t know, maybe that’s the way God works? With that line of reasoning you’d have to ask why would God, a perfect being waste his time with imperfect creatures composed of the material world and then go on to take this imperfect human form and sacrifice himself?
Create them, banish them from paradise, bring them redemption and salvation just don’t let them have any part of it? Okay...
You obviously missed the point of my question. Paul tells us plainly that Jesus was the chief corner stone, with the apostles and prophets laying a foundation.
Peter himself in 1 Peter 2 lays out the meaning of the foundation of the church.
My point was that Peter was a sinner. Before and AFTER the church was established. The perfect kingdom could not be built on an imperfect foundation. Jesus clearly taught that in his parables.
God loves us a wishes that none would perish. But he knows man is imperfect, so he sent a perfect sacrifice for our sins. He didn’t establish His kingdom on imperfect man.
