Peter's Role in Biblical Teachings and Being a Priest
•
Such would contradict clear Bible teaching
−
Peter was married (Matt. 8:14-15; 1 Cor. 9:5)
−
Peter was rebuked by Jesus as “Satan” (Matt. 16:23)
−
Peter denied Jesus three times (Matt. 26:34, 69-75)
−
Peter would not allow men to fall down and worship him (Acts 10:25-26)
−
Peter was rebuked by Paul for walking contrary to the gospel (Gal. 2:11-16)
−
Peter was a “fellow elder,” an equal among a group of “elders” (1 Pet. 5:1)
−
Jesus gave the same power to “bind” and “loose” to all apostles (Matt. 18:18; 16:19)
•
Such would contradict the wisdom and plan of God (cf. Jer. 10:23)
−
Christ has ALL authority, not Peter or any other man (Matt. 28:18)
−
Jesus only is the foundation of the church (1 Cor. 3:11; 10:4)
−
The foundation of the church is the deity of Christ (Matt. 16:16-18)
−
Jesus used two very different Greek words for “rock” in Matthew 16:18
−
Jesus (not Peter) is “the chief cornerstone,” as stated by Peter (1 Pet. 2:6-8)
•
Such has zero Biblical authority anywhere in Scripture (Col. 3:17; 1 Pet. 4:11)
•
The

God’s house is His temple, His church (Matt. 16:18; 1 Tim. 3:15)
