And if we can allow for the identity of the house as being that of Peter, then we are not just talking about any old house, or any gathering place. We are talking about Peter’s house, the Church.

Uhhh....no. No where is the church called Peter's house. It is the Lord's House I attend on Sundays.

The church was built on the blood of Jesus.

Peter, Paul, James and the rest of the apostles shared the Gospel.

Ephesians 2:19-20 says that the “household of God” is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone” ... so it would seem that there is indeed a sense in which the Church is built on the Apostles.

Wow! What a propaganda piece! First the arrogance and pomposity of the Catholic Church to think that it’s the only place the Holy Spirit can reach people is astounding.

Key words: "household of God". It's in the possesive. It's His household....not Peter's.

What is the foundation laid by the apostles? The Gospel.

The focus should be on Christ....not man.

I’m teaching you people to think critically instead of accepting things based on pure conjecture.

“I’m teaching you people to think critically instead of accepting things based on pure conjecture.”

You’re apparently not even remotely trying to teach.
