Question: Was
Peter The First Pope?
Answer
The Roman Catholic church teaches the apostle Peter
was the first pope.
There is
a verse in the bible which is used to support this error.
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That
thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will
build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
It is very easy to find many documents on the Internet
which will give many details
My purpose is simply to show that the above scripture
cannot be used as biblical authority,
First there is the matter of the grammar of the
sentence.
… It is a
fundamental law in Greek grammar, without exception,
that the
Article, Pronoun, and Adjective must agree in gender with the Noun
to which
they refer.
An example
of this:
Matthew
16:18 And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The
pronoun “this” is Feminine, and thus agrees with petra, which is also feminine,
and not
with petros (Peter), which is Masculine.
Strong’s
no 4074 petrov Petros pet’-ros means stone.
To state
Peter =" a rock or a stone", only causes confusion and enables the lie
that
Christ built his church on Peter.
We
therefore do not have to rely solely on Strong’s concordance.
Christ
Himself defined what Simon Peter would actually be called Cephas.
John then
explained precisely what it meant, a stone.
John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus
beheld him, he said,
thou art
Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas,
which is
by interpretation, A stone.
This
means that Peter was not the rock on which the church would be built,
according
to the grammar of the sentence.
Christ was the Rock, not the
stone on which the Eternal would build his church.
Additionally
scripture is very clear and also defines the Rock as Christ.
1
Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same
spiritual drink:
for they
drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
We can
see the status of Peter from the book of Revelation.
Revelation
21:14 And the wall of the city
had twelve foundations,
and in
them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Here we
see all the original twelve apostles make up the foundation which was
Built on
the Rock Christ. They are all of the same status and position.
1
Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is
Jesus Christ.
It is
crystal clear that the basic foundation is Christ and then the apostles, all
twelve of them.
Internet
sources will explain other aspects of this therefore we will not repeat what
can easily
be found
out with minimum effort.
Much Grace
p.j.
Be Humble Repent Listen To The Eternal God Obey Him.
This is very easy to say, but
I assure you that it is physically impossible,
without the empowerment of the Eternal
God.
Attending some Church,
going up to an altar call, or isolating yourself,
in the hope that
somehow it will all be alright, will not do it.
What are you going to do about
it before it is too late?

. The only way out of
this dilemma is Jesus Christ.
. He
is the only way of escape.
. We have to be
under His Care and Protection.

by any other name or means,
. Simply does
not exist.
. Complete Obedience is
required
Praise
