Do you think the pope in catholic church today is similar to the apostle Peter in Jesus time?

Pope = agent of Christ in earth. Why? 1 At their first meeting, Christ told Simon that his name would thereafter be Peter, which translates as "Rock".

Jesus elevated Simon for a higher role, thus a name change. John 1:42). Jesus looked intently at Peter for a moment and then said, "You are Simon, John's son - but you shall be called Peter, the rock!" 2 Luke 5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.

And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. Jesus specified Peter's job of catching men 3 Matthew 16:18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 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.

Commissioned Peter ONLY to act in His behalf.. super power, indeed. Whether the anti-peterist says peter is a small rock, a pity rock; it is irrelevant. Jesus is clear with His delegation, be it a small or big rock.

4 John 21:15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16 He then said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?"

He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that he had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep.

19 He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me." Note: After Matthew 16, Jesus nailed it to the rock, Peter has to look after His flock... There is no amt of twisting of the Great Commission, to deflect the Truth.

We have to admit and abide to the biblical provisions. Conclusively, catholics knows St Peter is married, as norm at that time. We also know that St James was the 1st bishop of Jerusalem, the mother Church.

The divine guidance on St Peter as the vicar of Christ, is to build the church in Rome, as the Holy Seat of the Church of God because in 70 AD Jerusalem was totally annihilated, first by the romans and then Muslims. Jerusalem and the middle east went islamic until today. If the Holy See in Rome was not established, there will be no trace/remains of christianity, as Jerusalem was eradicated from the map.

What's left was a small settlement called Capitolina Aeila, just outside of Jerusalem.So, no orthodox and protestants schism from CC. In other words, in YA, we will be now discussing and comparing koranic verses. Thanks to God for giving the Holy Catholic Church for the sake of preserving and safeguarding the Gospel of Jesus.

Gets it!

Surely you don't want to be found agreeing with a group of people who claim they know all they need to know from the Bible that was made possible by the Catholic Church in 397Ad and they can not even agree among there selves on what it is saying and yet that is what your doing. I sent you a msg showing your error and now i'll share that msg a paragraph written by Ignatius a disciple of ST. John written in 107Ad and of course the fundies will reject it for two reasons one it is not part of the Bible and two because it makes liars out of them.......Chapter 8.

Let nothing be done without the bishop See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it.

Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
