ArchivedCalling all Catholics!Aieno Wrote: I commented about the Council of Constantinople above, I also responded to what St Irenaeus wrote. I also asked some questions and gave some points. The primacy of St Peter is located in the bible, its just you dont want to see it. The Primacy of Peter: Matthew 10:2. Peter is called “first.” The other lists of apostles all put Peter first (Mark 3:16, Luke 6:14, Acts 1:13). Matthew 16:18-19. This is Christ establishing the papacy. “Peter” means “Rock” in Aramaic, the language Jesus was speaking. Previously, Jews used the word "Cephas" or "Rock" only to refer to God. Refers to Isaiah 22:20-22. See also Revelation 3:7. Matthew 17:24-27. Jesus asks Peter to decide (the only place where Jesus asks this type of question to another). Mark 16:7. An Angel recognizes the primacy of Peter. Luke 22:21-32. Peter is told to “strengthen your brethren.” Luke 24:12 (see also John 20:6). Peter is the first to enter Jesus’ tomb – the other apostle (John) waits for Peter to enter first. John 21:7. Peter alone casts himself into the sea to go to Christ. John 21:15-17. Only Peter is told to feed the sheep or to act as Jesus’ substitute on earth. Acts 1:15 ff. Peter leads the company (120 people) in replacing the seat of Judas. Note also this establishes Apostolic succession, which would apply to Peter. Acts 3:6 ff. Peter works the first miracle after Pentecost. Acts 4:7-12. Peter is regarded as the speaker by the Jews. See also Acts 2:37 for a similar recognition. Acts 5:1-10. Peter performs the first excommunication, which is followed by the Holy Spirit taking the life of those excommunicated, perhaps to clearly define the “anathema.” Acts 5:15. Peter’s shadow can heal (this is not mentioned of others). Acts 9:40. Peter is the first to raise the dead after Jesus. Acts 10:1-6. An angel sends others to Peter for instruction. Acts 10:28 ff. Peter is the first to receive the gentiles. Acts 15:7-12. Peter showing his primacy by deciding the matter and noting that God decided the Gentiles would hear the gospel from Peter. Galatians 2:14. Peter has the power to “compel” the Gentiles. This is all from the Bible, no tradition here Aieno. Many more passages that I can go into with more detail, but time is precious. Peace |
