No, we are just asking what the pope has to do with the word of god from the Bible.

Seriously since I have been on this forum no less than 20 non Catholics have told me Constantine was the first Pope.

BTW in answer to your question I am certain you may have heard that our first Pope (Peter) wrote two books, 1 Peter, and 2 Peter.

You folks have taken those out mistake as well have you?

Yes, i have heard that peter was the first pope, i have also heard quite a few other things that i have not been able to verify by reading the bible.

And you did not answer my question which i do not believe was a trick question and has everything to do with the truth.

Which is this
Where is Pope even mentioned in the Bible, and where is it mentioned that Peter was made pope.

Personally i hold peter as the highest where the apostles are concerned but Jesus said that is not the way it was to be.

Mark 20
25
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

But it shall not be so among you:

I don,t know who was called the first pope and don,t even know where the word came from or when it came, i believe it is plain that the Apostles never heard of it or they would have mentioned it somewhere.

There are two books in the New Testament which appear to be letters written by St. Peter but not all scholars agree that they were written by the Apostle Peter. Putting the name of a revered figure on a piece of writing was a common practice (many say that is the case with the book of Daniel in the Old Testament). There are stylistic differences between the two letters. I think some critics would put II Peter after A.D. 100.
