Was Peter the First Pope and Head of the Church?
We often hear it said that Peter was the first head of the church.
If this is true, surely we would expect such a major doctrine to be
plainly stated in the Bible. So consider what we find in Scripture.
We hear it said that Peter was the head of the church, but
Ephesians 1:22,23 says that Jesus was head over the church and
all things are under His feet. Ephesians 5:22,23 says Jesus is head
of the church like a husband is head of his wife, but the Bible
clearly teaches that a woman can have only one husband as her
head. So how could the church have both Peter and Jesus as
head?
We hear it said that Peter's office is the foundation on which the church is
built. But 1 Corinthians 3:11 says no one can lay any foundation other
than Jesus Christ.
We hear it said that the man who heads the church cannot be married. But
in Matthew 8:14 Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law, so Peter was married.
And 1 Timothy 4:1-3 speaks against the doctrine that forbids marriage.
We hear it said that people should bow to honor the man who heads the
church. But in Acts 10:25,26 Peter refused to allow a man to bow to him.
He said, "Get up, I myself also am a man."
We hear people use terms like "holy Father" to exalt the man who is said
to be the head of the church. But in Matthew 23:9 Jesus said not to exalt
men with such religious titles, because "one is your Father, who is in
heaven."
We hear it said that modern religious leaders are successors of the
apostles. But Acts 1:21,22 shows that, in order to be an apostle, one had to
be an eyewitness that Jesus had been raised from the dead.
Surely Peter was an important and influential apostle in the early church.
But why does the Bible nowhere describe him as participating in these
things that the head of the church is supposed to do?

lol... Didnt dance much... Was busy snapping pix...

Reporting from St. Charles Kano.

Here, unfortunately, we didn't have a procession for obvious reasons of security.

We in Boko Haram states aren't free to do some things.

But we still proclaimed him as our SARKI, IGWE, OBA, and KING

These pictures speak volumes, thanks be to God for the success of this wonderful celebration.

jesus igweeee

jesus ndi Chelsea!

SalC:
It is that memorable time of the year again, when Catholics celebrate Jesus Christ as the king of glory,

In Matt 27:37, Mark 15:26, Luke 23:38 and John. 19:19. We see the bible repeating thesame testimony, Jesus, the king of the Jews as right as that may sound, the truth is Jesus is not just the king of the Jews but THE ETERNAL KING OF GLORY

Christians, especially othordox Christian celebrate this truth, Today, the Mother church celebrates this solemnity in grand style

Do you know today's celebration as Corpus Christi or Christ the King? It doesn't matter really, the most important thing is that we celebrate it to the glory of God.

Go to mass!
Join the procession!!
Celebrate and dance even like David did

Jesus Christ is the king, celebrate with much Joy.

Every year i so much anticipate the celebration of the Solemnity of Christ the King. 'have never dreamt of missing it. To praise and adore our LORD JESUS in the Blessed Sacrament is so sweet. What else are we in this life for? At Enugu it was awesome, the trek, the songs, dancing, the kneeling, praises, wow !! It is always a good opportunity to praise GOD using our traditional musical instrument. 'Already anticipating that of the year 2015

Fembleez1:



God,.........I wish this type of love you extend to us ,that our fellow christians from different domination can also do the same




When christians and christians can't love each other,how can someone from another religion love the other!!

Am so impressed about the love you have for her and us as well,may Allah that we serve lead us to the heavenly throne of God,.............thanks bro,God bless

Amen.

I just need to ask this question, by the sounds of this page, I need a true and faithful Catholic? Only answer it-if you think you have the knowledge to answer it.
I have noticed you said it's the time of the year to celebrate Jesus Christ the King of the Jews. Don't you Catholic's celebrate Him everyday?
What do you do for the rest of the year This is the difference between us and you Catholic's, we worship Jesus everyday, Mary doesn't even get a mention, we know God had chosen Her to be the Mother of Christ, but she was flesh and blood like us, God came down to live amongst men, but God is Spirit and He became flesh.
And God say's pray to Him, there is no other God. So us believers obey His words, not the words of some interpreter that say's pray to Jesus's Mother.. We worship Jesus everyday, you worship Him one time of the year.
And am I right when I say, you have to pray to Mary first, before you can all celebrate Her Son Jesus? Isn't this how it works inside your Church, you use Mary as your mediator asking Her to protect you, and asking Her to ask Her Son Jesus to forgive you.

For more information about Peter as Pope,

My dear brother I am going to say this as lovingly as I possibly can, you read scripture our of context and without historical perspective...
Let me start with
1 Tim 4:1-3
that statement does not apply to the Catholic Church or Catholic clergy because lay Catholics have husbands and wives, and priests marry couples in the Church so the Catholic Church doesn't teach that it is wrong to marry, but rather it is a discipline the Church adopted overtime following the Teaching and example of both Jesus Christ and Paul...
Jesus was celibate, he did not marry and he said in Mathew 19:10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.” 11 But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this precept, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and THERE ARE EUNUCHS WHO HAVE MADE THEMSELVES EUNUCHS FOR THE SAKE of the KINGDOM of HEAVEN. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.”

Paul Also did not marry and he said in 1 cor 7:7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.
verse 32 I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; 33 but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman or girl is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

Concerning Peter being the First Pope...
Yes indeed Christ is the Foundation and Rock of the Church... But Christ also said he was going to found his church on Peter see Mathew 16: 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven

here we see Jesus the Rock makes Peter the Rock on which he will build his church, does this contradict scripture? NO
because Peter and the apostles are the foundations of Christianity even though Jesus is the source as Ephesians 2:but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, because he gave them the command to establish his church ( Mathew 16:18 for Peter. 28:19-20 for all apostles)..

And we know from scripture that Peter wasn't just important, he was the leader of the Early Church see the following passages
Isaiah 22:15-25
Prophecy of the Catholic Papacy foretold in the
Old Testament.
Matthew 16:13-19
Upon this rock (Peter) I will build my Church. And
the gates of Hell can never overpower it.
Matthew 16:19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
Heaven: whatever you bind on earth will be
bound in Heaven; whatever you loose on earth
will be loosed. in Heaven.
Mark 6:7
Angel sent to announce the Resurrection to
Peter.
Luke 22:32
Peter's faith will strengthen his brethren.
Note: The word you [I have prayed for
you.]
The Greek is in the personal tense, not
the plural like:
All you Apostles .
Luke 24:34
Risen Jesus first appeared to Peter.
John 21:17
Given Christ's flock as chief shepherd.
Acts 1:13-26
Peter headed meeting which elected Matthias to
replace Judas.
Acts 2:14
Peter received the first converts.
Acts 3:6-7
Peter performed the first miracle after
Pentecost.
Acts 5:1-11
Peter's words inflict deadly punishment on
Ananias and Saphira.
Acts 8:21
Peter excommunicated the first heretic, Simon
Magnus.
Acts 10:44-46
Peter received a revelation to admit the Gentles
into the Church.
Acts 15
Peter Lead the first Catholic council in
Jerusalem.
Acts 15:7-12
Peter spoke saying: "My brothers, he said, ....
But we believe that we are saved in the same
way as they are: through the grace of the Lord
Jesus." The entire assembly fell silent, and they
listened to Barnabas and Paul describing all the
signs and wonders God had worked through them
among the gentiles."
Peter pronounces the first dogmatic decision.
Galatians 1:18
After his conversion, Paul visits the chief
Apostle.
Matthew 10:1-4 , Mark 3:16-19 , Luke 6:14-16 ,
Acts 1:13
Peter's name always heads the list of Apostles.
Matthew 18:21 , Mark 8:29 , Luke 12:41 , John 6:69
Peter spoke for the Apostles.
Luke 9:32 , Mark 16:7
Peter and his companions.

Concerning Peter having a mother Inlaw, that doesn't deny his role as Pope because like I said earlier, Celibacy was a discipline in the Church that developed overtime following scriptural examples (of Jesus and Paul as I have shown above)..
Even at that Peter might have been a widower when he became a discipline of Jesus because his wife is no where mentioned in scriptures and after Jesus healed his mother in law she got up and served them which according to Jewish law was the duty of the Wife and the Mother Inlaw would not have done that if the wife was there and more so the wife was not recorded to even be with her sick mother which Is rather strange.. So if he is a widower then he would have dedicated all his life to the gospel mission because he would hardly have time for making a family because of traveling and persecution and such and Paul further emphasized the need for that in 1 cor 7: 26 I think that in view of the impendingdistress it is well for a person to remain as he is. 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek marriage..
On a final note some priests in the Eastern Catholic Churches have wives and Some Anglican and Lutheran converts are allowed to remain married and be priests in the Western Catholic Churches

On Mathew 23:9.. Am sure you don't call your father "FATHER" or the head of your Church "PAPA" because if you do then you too are guilty of Mathew 23:9 because it says clearly CALL NO MAN... that would not just include the Pope or Catholic priests... You need to understand the context of Mathew 23..
In the time of Jesus and even before he was born the Roman emperors demanded to be called the title "Father God" "pater deus" in Latin and the scribes and Pharisees demanded also to be called "Teacher" or Rabbi" and Jesus said call no man "Teacher" in verse 8 and "Father" in verse 9 because of the back drop of people making themselves bigger than God because of those titles.. but today we call people Teacher and Father these days and it doesn't violate Mathew 23:8&9 because
Jesus himself calls ABRAHAM father in Luke 16:24 And he called out, ‘FATHER ABRAHAM, have mercy upon me, and send Laz′arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.’

Stephen called the PHARISEES FATHERS
acts 7:2 And Stephen said:

“Brethren and FATHERS, hear me. The God of glory appeared to our FATHER ABRAHAM, when he was in Mesopota′mia, before he lived in Haran

Paul called himself FATHER
1 Cor 4: 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many FATHERS. For I became your FATHER in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

John calls his audience FATHERS also
1 john 2:13 I am writing to you, FATHERS, because you know him who is from the beginning.

so calling our ministers father doesn't violate Jesus in Mathew 23:9 because they participate and originate their fatherhood from God through the gospel as Ephesians 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every FATHERHOOD in heaven and on earth is named,

On being successors of the apostles, yes apostles have to have been present when Jesus was alive but not that does not disrupt the succession because all the Apostolic age men oases away but yet Christian leaders still existed... they are called PATRIARCHS and BISHOPS (EPISCOPOS in Greek ) what matters is for the Apostolic Faith to be passed on...
Paul said to Timothy in 2 tim 2:2 and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

So it doesn't have to be apostles or Apostolic men because they would all eventually die off.. what matters Is that they are "Faithful Men"

brocab:
I must ask what is it like in Africa? Besides prosperity? Is Africa a Country free? I have watched many different programs on Africa, I have heard Christians Channels, talk about Africa, Is it a place of milk and honey, that preachers from around the world, give for the need, or give to receive?

So what has this African question got to do with this thread?

Nothing I just thought I would ask? One don't ask-one don't receive...
And if you are willing please I am all ears-this isn't a question about religion..
Does black Africans have the same constitutional rights as do the white generation have, freedom of speech?..
I am just asking because in my country the white people took our land, enslaving us, and when the constitution was written, our freedom of speech doesn't exist..
