I believe the post in question is this:

******************************************

#1982

Don't ignore Ephesians. It's staring at you. The apostles, of whom Peter became chief servant, are the foundation, with the Jewish prophets, Jesus being the chief corner stone.(that means the church was built on them for those in Rio Linda).

******************************************

Granted, you may have just thrown that line about Peter in there as an innocent bit of editorializing, but if you were attempting to project what Ephesians taught, there's nothing in there about Peter being exalted over the others, "chief," or in any other material sense, and a reasonable reader could view your lumping that all together as perhaps a  less than accurate representation of what Paul said:
Ephesians 2:18-21  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.  (19)  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;  (20)  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;  (21)  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Peace,

SR

Yes, only it is integration, not editorializing, especially when I had previously quoted the Ephesians passage in color in 1975 ...

Peter became the chief apostle, the servant of all, as shown in other scriptures that I assumed were common knowledge.
