That Peter did not wear a funny hat certainly has the weight of probability on its side, but cannot be proven, and far less can it be proven, among other things from Scriptures showing the life of the NT church,
that NT pastors were distinctively titled "hierus=priests,"
as their man function was a uniquely sacrificial one in offering the Eucharist as an atonement for sin,
by which souls obtained spiritual life,
and prayed to saints,
and who looked to a supreme exalted infallible pope in Rome
whose church possessed assured perpetual infallibility as the instruments and stewards of Scripture,
which infallibility is essential to know which writings are of God.
Hey I dont want to fight with anybody...I read my Bible every night , sometimes/mostly in order, and mostly The New Testament , right now today am reading chapter 2 of the Gospel of John , I praise Jesus in songs, I/we sing The Lords prayer for starters...actually put on The Lords Prayer by Parry Como, best version ever, and sing along and to the Lord
We sing a bunch of great praise songs to God,,,To God Be the Glory for the things He has done, By His Blood He has Saved me, By His Power he hath Raised me...
Followed by Blessed be the name of the Lord, The Old Rugged Cross, Just as I am,Amazing Grace,What a Friend We have in Jesus, then we include 3 or 4 Christmas Hymns, mix it up a bit,
The we pray for every child woman and man of the world, the orphans and the widows, the persecuted Christians, the people in jail, innocent and guilty, all the sick children and sick people, people in hospitals, old age homes, and people that have no home
We pray for every creature under the sun, from the Dogs and cats in traps and cages, wildlife in traps and cages, any suffering creature under the sun.
We pray for our family and leaders by name, we pray that NOBODY will die with out Christ.
Prayer, Worship,scripture reading.. we memorize scripture etc etc
Send away for 5000 little Bibles miniatures at a time, hand them out leave them in dr offices and grocery stores etc, they have great Scriptures in them along with a sinners prayer to ask Jesus into their life, thanking Jesus for dying on the cross for sins etc, the promise to repent and ask Jesus to be Lord and Savor
more than anybody wanted to know.
Popes with funny hats sainting people, shaking canisters etc, being addressed as your eminence, Father etc...not proper
Also any minister from any Christian denomination, it`s really not proper to even be addressed as Reverend, it`s really Not...NO I DONT GO AROUND SAYING THAT, just throwing it out there.
Religion is a stumbling block to salvation.
The Cathoic Church is a bit cultish.
