To: FatherofFive
I know there are may opinions on authority, but please use Scripture to support your opinion

Mat_23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Now what Church had Peter as its first leader?

The Jewish church...Peter was sent into parts unknown to preach to Jews...

Gal 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Gal 2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

Paul was the apostle to the Gentile church...

I don't know why you guys sometime try to appeal to scripture since it always comes around to bite you in the hind end...Your religion is not the church of the bible...
