And in verse 18, "When they heard these things, they held their peace,
and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted
repentance unto life."
Acts 14:27 "...they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how
he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles."
Acts 15:7 "...Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye
know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the
Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe."
4. In another passage 2 chapters later, Jesus gives the "binding and loosing"
to more than just Peter.
Matthew 18:15 "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go
and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be
established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he
neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a
publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye [plural] shall bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall
be loosed in heaven."
PETER'S WORDS AND ACTIONS WERE CONTRARY TO THE
CONCEPT OF A POPE
1. Peter had a wife. Popes don't.
Matthew 8:14 "And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his
wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever."
Mark 1:30 "But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they
tell him of her."
