Peter was not in charge of the Apostles. If anything Paul was above Peter in Authority.
Peter was given the task of bringing the Gospel to the Jews only. Paul was given the task to bring the Gospel to the Gentiles.
Galatians 2:8
[SUP]8 [/SUP]for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles
The message of Salvation to the Gentiles was through Paul not Peter like the Catholics teach. You Catholics really need to read the whole Bible before you open up your mouth to speak.
Also Paul was the one who rebut Peter for what he was doing to the Gentiles.
Galatians 2:11-14
[SUP]11 [/SUP] Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;
[SUP]12 [/SUP] for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
[SUP]13 [/SUP] And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
[SUP]14 [/SUP] But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?
Paul told Peter he was wrong in what he had done! This shows that Peter was not in charge like the Catholics teach. Paul was in charge over Peter!
2 Corinthians 1:1
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.
Paul WAS an Apostle appointed by Jesus Christ!
2 Peter 3:14-16
[SUP]14 [/SUP] Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;
[SUP]15 [/SUP] and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,
[SUP]16 [/SUP] as also in ALL his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
Peter spoke very highly about Paul and the Wisdom he had from God that he speaks to us today in the Epistles from Paul!
God used Peter only for the Jewish People! For the rest of us God has used Paul to bring us the Truth in the Scriptures!
The Catholics need to listen to what Paul says because God put Paul in charge of the True Christian Church, not Peter.
