Who's The Head Of The Church? by Nobody: 6:24pm On Mar 12, 2007
I have been kinda wondering about catholics calling Peter the head of the church! ah! well my questions here? why not Apostle Paul the head of the church( gentile church) because he made the gospel possible to reach us! whats was the importance of peter in the church when he was commissioned with the gospel of circumcision? why did Paul blame Peter for wrong doing in the Epistles to the Galatians? why did Paul and Barnabas have a strong dissension btw them? Was it Peter's doing because of Jealousy?Why was Paul whitewashed at the Council in The Jerusalem? Why was Titus compelled to be circumcised by the Jews even though his Father was greek? What "was" Jesus referring to when he said "on this "rock" i'll build my church and the gates of hell can not prevail against it?

Just asking!

I like easy ones!

1.
The thread heading ~ Head of the Church = Jesus Christ. Always has been always will be.
(Just say no to Popes, Superintendants, Metropolitans, Presiding Bishops, Covering Apostles, GO's, MOG's SAP's etc etc. Sitting in a seat that is in no ways theirs. Nonsense & covetousness grin).

2.
Peter & Paul had different charges. Paul to the Uncircumcised, Peter to the Jews (who are called the circumcision in the flesh, made by hands). Neither of them were the titular head of the Lords church.

3.
Peter was being hypocritical. Acting Jewish amongst gentile believers, as there were other Jews round.

4.
Because they were only human. And Believers have liberty to disagree or adopt different approaches to the non-essentials. I don't recall Peter being involved?

5.
No whitewash. It was a meeting of the whole Church and sound counsel prevailed.

6.
Not by God he wasn't.

7.
The truth that He was the Messiah, The Son of God.

God bless

then why is the pope called "vicarius fili dei" meaning the "son of God"?
