Precious friends, just released for your prayerful/Careful consideration; and please
pray for all precious roman catholics, as they also should have/know/believe
God's Precious Word Of Truth, Even as we do, eh?:
"Doubtless you have heard of Saint Peter, but you must not believe all that you have
heard about him. He is not here to defend himself against all these false reports, so
it seems unfair to take advantage of him during his absence. He is still living and he
is coming back to earth someday. Now this is not a false report. This is the truth.
Peter has been accused of being the first pope of Rome....
For anyone who really desires to rid the story of Simon Peter of falsehood
and fiction, there is first-hand information, and it will do your soul good to
get acquainted with this intensely human character—not a myth, but a
real-to-goodness natural man, just like the rest of us, who came in contact
with a Supernatural Power that transformed his life...
...Peter never went to Rome. It was Paul who wrote to the Romans and later
visited Rome, where he died. Paul, by no means, preached to the Gentiles at
Rome what Peter preached twenty-five years before at Jerusalem.
The believing Gentiles at Rome were justified without a cause. They received,
through Paul, what uncircumcised Abraham received without the deeds of the
law: the righteousness of God by faith (Rom. 4:3-11)...
...The true Church of God at Rome in the first century believed in God’s truth in
the Epistle to the Romans—but the Roman Catholic Church has drifted far away
from the gospel of grace contained in that epistle. Well, what has this to do with
Simon Peter?
He has been accused of having something to do with the establishment of the
present Church of Rome. Their claim is that the papal authority has been handed
down from Peter and that the present pope is on St. Peter’s throne by the process
of apostolic succession. There is only one case of apostolic succession in the
Bible: Matthias succeeded Judas (Acts 1:21-26).
Certainly, Peter had no God-given authority over the Gentile churches. Therefore,
it is not scriptural to say that Paul succeeded Peter in authority. But it is scriptural
to say that Paul received from Christ in heaven, a commission, a message, a ministry
that superseded the message and ministry committed unto Peter by Christ.
Paul received his authority from heaven without conferring with those who
were apostles before him (Gal. 1:12,17). Both Peter and Paul had their Christ-given
authority and ministry..." (JC O'Hair)
