Who said Peter was in Rome at the time?
I merely stated that there was aPope ever since Peter, that cannot be denied. Logical and critical thinking would tell someone that there was a natural progression all the way up to the current Pope....starting at the time of Peter, which, is mentioned in the bible.
People who are not Cathoic and choose to believe a different version of events seem to never want to focus on tha verse “upon this rock you shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not pervail against it ...I confir you and you confirm your brethren”
Was a Pope throughout history, an actual living breathing person since that time!
Other then that one misinterpreted verse would you show the leadership of Peter from scripture?
When pressed for who Jesus thought was the leader of the apostles He rather scolded them for even thinking there was a leader among them.
Luke 22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
Matthew 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Jesus did NOT designate Peter as any type of leader.
AKA We really have no proof and made it up from our “logical and critical thinking”.
>>People who are not Cathoic and choose to believe a different version of events seem to never want to focus on tha verse “upon this rock you shall build my church and the gates of hell shall not pervail against it<<
That would be because that verse is totally misinterpreted by the CC and contradicts the rest of scripture.
>>I confir you and you confirm your brethren<<
Which verse is that found in again?
