Since Jesus came to make all religion and religions obsolete I doubt Peter started one..

But of course Peter did not start one, Jesus Himself did. He anointed Peter as it's first leader, it's rock on which to build.

Matthew 16:18
"I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it."

Matthew 16:18 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”


Wrong the word is “Petros” not Peter.. meaning a rock..
So some believe Jesus gave Cephas a nickname(Peter).. I do not..
maybe the other apostles did though, maybe not..
I doubt Jesus ever spoke Greek.. or most apostles.

God giving nicknames is quite familiar.. maybe licentious.. even lame..
and the word is not church.. greek and hebrew at that time didnt have a word for church.. as in synagogue..
Jesus wasn’t really into synagogues.. from my studies..

Like I said.. it takes faith to believe what you believe..
You trust dogma I do not trust.. but many others do as well..
Like Mormons trust dogma I do not trust.. same deal..
And Scientologists too.. and Buddhists and many other faiths..

I may believe things you do not trust.. I accept/tolerate that..
