We are all living stones being built up into God's dwelling place. Peter is not the only one.

True but many as foretold stumble over it. They want to place man made doctrines and conditions on The New Covenant which is so simple a child can understand it and was intended to be simple. Man complicated it thus stumbling over the very basic and purposely made so Believing solely in Jesus Christ for Salvation by Grace through faith. 66 books written and given to man saying Christ is coming, He's here, He died for our sins, He arose from the grave on the third day and appeared to many of his followers, and then ascended into heaven to the right hand of GOD, He's coming back.

Man has added to, placed conditions on, subverted, and placed burdens to it much like what Christ well covered in His chastising of the Temple leaders of the day. GOD's Word Jesus Christ GOD in human flesh among men.

Before ascending to the Father Jesus sent the teacher of all truths to guide man called The Holy Spirit which was manifested at Pentecost. Although present before this as The Bible clearly shows {John The Baptist knew Jesus before birth} The Holy Spirit had not yet been received by mankind as a whole.

Likely the very one who told Peter, James, and John who the three men were Jesus met on the mountain at the Transfiguration. Otherwise how would they have known who they were? :>}

Good points.

Detracting from the simplicity of the gospel and faith in Christ does a disservice to everyone.
