This is a picture, of the Pope’s Roman Catholic Land, and the Evil Vatican work – near Rome. Apostle Peter, was NEVER First POPE. Real Story is now Given, of who Apostle Peter Really was

This message was started, as PART 1, on Page 4 1 6.

The Catholic Church, have got it completely wrong. They have wrongly placed Peter in Rome, reigning as a Pope. The Bible Paints, a Totally Different Picture.

Please read the page 4 1 6, which proves, that Peter was never influenced – to become a Pope.

Most Bible students agree, that Paul’s conversion, occurred in the year 3 7 AD. After that, he went to Arabia, then went up to Jerusalem (NOT ROME). Jerusalem was where Paul remained with Peter, for ages.

The Bible never tells us, that Peter left Israel, Antioch – Syria, and other local places, to go to Rome. This later happened to Paul, but not to Peter. Peter never left Israel, to go to Rome. These details, will be covered later.

Peter, never going to Rome, shows how the Roman Catholic church – have tried to change the stories, to Falsely give themselves, more capability with the Bad Vatican etc. They have brought Lies, to the TRUE Bible message.

I will now start looking, at the life of Peter and Paul, at the start – within the TRUE Church.

Galatian 1: 1 7 and Galatian 1: 1 8. Brings us to the year 4 0 AD. Fourteen years later, Paul again went to Jerusalem.

See Gal 2: 1. Paul then attended the Jerusalem council (NOT ROME), described in Acts 1 5. Peter also participated (see Verse 6).

This conference dealt primarily, with the problems, which arose in connection – with the Presentation of the Gospel. That was in Jewish and Gentile communities, and was in the New Testament time.

Paul and Barnabas presented their case, and were authorized by the council, to continue their ministry to the Gentiles.

Acts 1 5: 2 2 – 2 9. This quite clearly, was the occasion, on which Paul was assigned to work primarily – among the Gentiles, while Peter was assigned, to work primarily among the Jews. We are told this, in the next chapter of Galatians 2, about Peter and Paul. See Galatians 2: 7 – 8

“ Peter had been to the Circumcised, Jewish believers in God.  For God was at work in Peter, the Apostle to the Circumcised. He was also at work in Paul – as an Apostle to the Gentiles “.

This same Jerusalem council, is spoken of in the immediate context of Galatians 2: 1 – 1 0. So this brings us to the year 5 4 AD.

Peter is still in Syria. This is 1 2 years, after the time, that Rome Falsely said – that Peter was residing/reigning in Rome. We now have this lying wrong time, and details, from Rome. The fact is, that Peter had never been to Rome.

Later after the Jerusalem council, as recorded in Galatians 2: 1 1 – 2 1, we are then told – that Peter also came to Antioch. On this occasion, it was necessary for Paul, to reprimand Peter – because of Peter’s conformity to Judaism rituals, and his POOR stance on New Gentile ways.

We now reach the year 6 1 AD, with Peter (actually) still in Syria. What about the other Apostles? What did they think of Peter? I now ask these questions:

Did they Acknowledge the Supremacy of Peter? NO!

Did they think of Peter, as the Best and highest of Church leaders? NO!

Did they think, that Peter was, “Perfect, concerning Church Doctrine”? NO!

1 Cor 4: 6. Let us bear in mind, the Scripture, that says – “we are not to think of men, above that which is written.”

Therefore, if the Title of Pope, is not found in the Bible Scriptures anywhere – we would be giving Titles to men, above what is written. Where does it mention POPE in the Bible? It does not mention Pope!

The Word Pope means Father. There is only one real Father, and that is God/Jesus. That means that the Word Pope, should never be used, for a Human man – by the Terrible Catholic church.

I Now continue from here, to show the truth of Peter.

In Acts 1 5, we have Barnabas, Peter and Paul. These gave reports, at the council in Jerusalem, but it was James who rendered the Decision. It was NOT PETER! If Peter were as the Catholics stated, the leader, he would most definitely – have rendered the Final Decision! The fact, that he didn’t, proves he was NEVER the Pope.

Peter was sent, by permission of the Apostles, to Samaria. Why didn’t Peter do the sending, if he was the Pope? That sending of Peter, would not have happened, if he was in charge – as the Catholics say.

This all proves, that Peter was never the Pope. He was just an Apostle. Also note, that Paul would have named Peter as the First man, if he was the Supposed Pope? He didn’t, because that never was the case.

Acts 8: 1 4 says: ” When the Apostles in Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria “. Verse 1 7 says: “Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received, the Holy Spirit “.

Gal 2: 8 – 1 0. Says: with Paul talking. “James, Peter and John, esteemed as PILLARS – gave me (Paul) and Barnabas the right hand of Fellowship, when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they go to the circumcised – (that is the Jews).”

It is obvious, that Paul did not care, whether they (including Peter) went to Jew or Gentile – as all will now be saved, in Jesus.

POPES?

Paul never seriously observed, whether there were, World Placed Popes either. He clearly said, that God doesn’t care about such people, as Popes either!

In these next verses, Paul rebukes Peter. This was because Peter was wrong on an issue. Paul evidently, did not regard Peter’s so called Pope Position in the Church. This Pope Position, was not so, though. If Paul was given more insight about Peter, then this all shows us clearly, that Peter was not a Pope.

He even goes so far as to say, that if an Angel from heaven, or any other False Angel – wrongly preaches Lies about the Truth, they should be Accursed.

But let’s carefully read, the Following Bible Verses, within BLUE and Light Green verses. This shows how unlike Popes, Peter was Treated. He definitely was not, a Pope.

In Galatians 2: 1 1 – 1 6, Paul said: “ But when Peter was come to Antioch, I COMPLAINED TO HIS FACE, BECAUSE HE WAS TO BE BLAMED. Before then, certain people came from James, and Peter ate with the Gentiles. When they were come, he withdrew and separated himself to the Jewish. He FEARED THEM, of the Jewish CIRCUMCISION “.

“ And the other Jews dissembled, likewise with Peter. Insomuch that Barnabas, also was carried away, with their dissimulation. That is: of condemnation, hypocrisy. “

“ But when I saw, that THEY WALKED NOT UPRIGHTLY ACCORDING TO THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL, I said the following unto Peter – before them all. ” If you being a Jew, live after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews – why compel the Gentiles, to live as do the Jews?“

“ We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law – but by the Faith of Jesus Christ. Even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the Faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law. “

“ FOR BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED. “ “

It is evident, in these verses, that Peter was wrong – concerning some doctrine. This nullifies, any argument Rome uses, to justify the Perfection of Popes – and wrongly call Peter, as a Pope. Of course, several Popes have been “Heretics”, by the admission – of other Popes.

Pope Adrian VI in 1 5 2 3 said: “ If by the Roman church, you mean its Head or Pontiff, it is beyond question – that he can err, even in matters touching the Faith. He does this, when he teaches heresy, by his own judgement or decretal.

In truth, many Roman Pontiffs were heretics. The last of them was Pope John XXII, in the year 1 3 1 6 – 1 3 3 4 “. Vicars of Christ, DeRosa, 2 0 4.

Not only are the Scriptures clear, concerning Peter’s lower Imperfections, but it is also clear – that he was never considered a Pope by anyone, including himself. Peter does however, call himself an “Elder”, and clearly states – that Jesus alone is: The “Chief Shepherd”.

1 Pet 5, 1 – 4, reads these following things:

1. ” To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, and a witness of Christ’s sufferings – who also will share in the glory to be revealed.

2. Be shepherds of God’s flock, that is under your care, watching over them – not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be. Not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve.

3.  Not Lording it, over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

4. And When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory, that will never fade away “.

Chief Shepherd, is a Title, that the Popes wrongly take for Themselves. This should never happen, as only Jesus is the Chief Shepherd.

Let’s take a closer look, at these verses, in Blue and Green.

“ When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying – WHOM DO MEN SAY THAT I, THE SON OF MAN AM? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist, some say Elias – and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets “.

” He said unto them, But WHOM SAY YOU THAT I AM? And Simon Peter answered and said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD “.

“ And Jesus answered and said unto him: Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for Flesh and Blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto you, That you are Peter (STRONG), and upon this Rock (ME JESUS MUCH STRONGER) I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH – and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it “.

” And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven. Whatsoever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven “.

” Then he told his disciples, that they should tell no man, that he was Jesus the Christ. To you, I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. “

Peter and other Apostles, were given Prayer and Word Power, from Jesus – to achieve great things. But these achievements, are always achieved through Jesus Power Himself alone, and through Faith, in Him. This Truth was pointed out to Peter, as a sharer of this message, but not as a Pope.

This Next Teaching 2 lines (in Green and Blue) is Catholic Doctrine, and is not Biblical Teaching. It shows, why the Catholic church, WRONGLY believe that Peter is a Pope.

The Catholics badly reckon, that after our Lord Jesus Christ changed Simon’s name to Peter, that Jesus was making Peter the first Pope – and head of the Roman Catholic church. They wrongly also believed, that He established the Apostolic Succession.

Catholic Popes would be given, the Pretence Keys of Peter, to reign as “Pontifex Maximus” in Rome. This was a title, held by the FALSE Caesars of Rome as well.

My Thoughts now: John Chingford.

Peter, is also known as Petros, (in Greek). That is, a smallish piece of a rock, stone or pebble. But the “Rock” of Jesus, within Matthew 1 6: 1 8, is name Petra (not Petros), which means MASS ROCK.

Thus, in modern English, Jesus said: “And I tell you, you are Peter. You are a stone, and upon this MASS ROCK JESUS, I will build My Church – and the gates of Hell, shall not stand against it.” Peter just confessed, that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God. It was upon this Powerful and Truthful confession, that Jesus Built his Church.

I Cor 1 0: 4. This tells us, that Christ is that “Rock”, Petra, Massive Rock. I Cor 3: 1 1 says: “For other Foundation, can no man lay, than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”

Catholic Apologists, in an attempt to Deceive the People, say that Jesus was speaking Aramaic – and Matthew was written in Aramaic. They say this, because in the Aramaic language, there is only One Word for stone or rock. That is, the Word “Cephas”.

Therefore, Jesus would have said: “Thou art Cephas, and upon Cephas, I will build my church”. They feel, that this would better support, their bad case. However, there is not one shred of proof, that Matthew was written in Aramaic.

BUT, We do have Proof, that it was written in Greek. Also, that the author did use two different Greek words, that changed the gender – from: Peter’s Stone, to the Word Massive ROCK.

It is true that “Cephas” can mean “Large Rock or small stone”. However, God settled the argument once and for all, when He gave us both things – of “Greek and Aramaic” together. He wrote this, in:

John 1: 4 2 “And he brought him to Jesus. When Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah – thou shalt be called CEPHAS [Aramaic], WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, A small STONE“.

Jesus, in His All Knowledge, knew the time would come – when men would lie about Peter. They would twist the meaning, in this most important Scripture. Therefore, Jesus then gave us, this very strong Clear Translation – in last passage – above here, Himself. That is, that only Jesus was the Enormous Stone, and Peter was indeed very small, in comparison.

That conclusion, may also, UPSET MOST CATHOLICS, when they read those words. The “Great Fathers” of the “Church”, saw no connection, between – Matthew 1 6: 1 8 below, and Apostolic Succession.

Matthew 1 6: 1 8 says: “And I tell you, that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my church – and the gates of Hades will not overcome it”. Jesus was talking about Himself, as the Rock, and not Peter. It was Peter’s Faith in the Lord, that is called the Rock, and nothing to do with Peter’s own work.

All the Councils from Nicea, in the Fourth century, to Constance in the Fifteenth century – agree that Christ Himself, is the only Foundation of the Church. He is the Rock, on which the Church rests. Perhaps this is why, not one of the False Catholic Church Fathers, speaks of a transference of power – from Peter, to those who succeed him.

Not one speaks (as Church Documents do today), of an ‘Inheritance’.

There is no hint, of an abiding Petrine office. Papal power, was gradually developed, by Deceit and Forgeries. The Donation of Constantine, a proven Forgery, was wrongly used by the Papacy – to establish its Base in Rome.

The Truth is, that there is only ONE ROCK. This Rock is JESUS CHRIST. He is the HEAD of the True Church, Himself.

1 Cor 1 0: 4 says: “and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ“. Note that Rome, with all her Lies, cannot ever change that massive Truth. The Truth is, that the Rock is Christ, and is not ever Peter.

Here now, is other massive real Truth, on Jesus – and who He is.

Ephesians 1: 2 2 – 2 3: “And God placed all things under Jesus feet, and appointed him to be head over everything, for the church – which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way“.

Col 1: 1 8: “And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything – he might have the supremacy“.

What about the Mentioned Keys?

What did our Lord mean, when he told Peter, he would give him the Keys? Keys to what? First, let us consider, that a Key is used to open a door. We know that on the day of Pentecost, Peter was given the Keys, of an Open Door. This was to preach the gospel, and Open the Doors of Heaven, to the Jews.

Although Peter mostly focused, on preaching to the Jews, we know that it was Paul – who ALSO, First started Preaching the Gospel, to the Gentiles.

In Acts 1 4: 2 7, We read, the following work of Paul: “On arriving there, they gathered the Church together, and reported all that God had done – through them, and how HE had Opened a Door of Faith, to the Gentiles “. In 2 Cor 2: 1 2, it also says this: “a Door was Opened unto me (Paul), of the Lord“.

Also in Revelation 3: 7, we see this: “To the angel, of the church in Philadelphia, write: These are the words of him, who is holy and true (Jesus), who holds the Key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts, no one can open“.

It is God who opens Doors, and makes the way, for us to preach the gospel. Peter was given an opportunity, to preach to the Jews. Also, Paul was given an opportunity to preach to the Gentiles.

In Luke 1 1: 5 2, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees of his day, saying: “Woe unto you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge. You entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in, you hindered.”

On the day of Pentecost, Peter was given the privilege, of confessing before Israel (Jewish people) – that “Jesus was the Messiah, and the Son of the Living God”. This was the same confession he made, in Matthew 1 6: 1 6. It was: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

By the way, there was another Peter in Rome, but it was not our Apostle Peter of Jesus. Maybe, it was that other Catholic Pope Peter?

There were Keys, that stood for all authority in heaven, and on earth – but they were the Pagan Keys of Janus and Cybele, which the Catholic church disrupted and used badly. Roman Catholicism, has adapted the Bad Pagan Symbols, in an attempt to convert the Pagans of their times – to a religion, with which they could easily identify.

The wrong Apostolic Designation, of the False Peter, is from the Mysteries. The Hierophant or Supreme Pontiff, bore the other Chaldean title Peter, who was someone else. There was NEVER any Apostle Peter, at Rome.

These following names, all come from the same Evil Root of: Phtah, Peth’r, Balaam, Patara, Patras, oracles-cities, Pateres or Pateras, and perhaps Buddha.

The Supreme Pontiff, of the Initiates of Old India, became the successor – of the Pagan High Priest. The False Peter, Peter-Roma, or Petroma – is also a perfect copy, of the Dalai-Lama of Thibet. That is, the Tiara, of the Pope.

Alexander Hislop in his Great Supported Book, called: “The Two Babylon’s”, expounded on the connection, between the Keys of Roman Catholicism, and the Keys of Janus and Cybele.

Is there anyone who imagines, that there is some Occult and Mysterious Virtue, in an Apostolic Succession? That Succession, comes through the Papacy. So let them seriously consider, the real character of the Pope’s Plans, and those of the Popes Bishops – and clergy. From the Pope downward, it can be seen, that they are now Radically Babylonian.

The College of Catholic Cardinals, with the Pope at its head, is just the counter-part of the Pagan College of Pontiffs – with its “Pontifex Maximus” or “Sovereign Pontiff”. This has existed in Rome, from the earliest times, and which is known to have been framed – on the model, of the grand original Council of Pontiffs, at Babylon.

The Pope, now pretends to supremacy in the Church, as the successor of the False Peter. It is Wrongly Trusted, that our Lord exclusively committed, the Keys of the Kingdom of heaven – to them. This never happened, it is a lie.

There is an important Fact given, that until the Pope was invested with the title, the Pope was never publicly made the possessor of the Keys – bestowed on Peter. Although there was Power, of the Keys of Janus and Cybele, there was no such claim to pre-eminence, or anything approaching it.

Very early indeed, the Bishops of Rome, showed a proud and ambitious spirit. But, for the first three centuries, their claim for superior honour – was founded simply, on the dignity given to them, from the imperial city. That is, the capital of the Roman world.

When the seat of empire, was removed to the East, and Constantinople threatened to Eclipse Rome – some new ground for maintaining the dignity, of the Bishop of Rome, was sought.

That new ground was found, when about 3 7 8, the Pope Fell to the Keys – that were the symbols of two well-known Pagan divinities at Rome. Janus and Cybele bore a Key. These are the two Keys, that the Pope reveals on his arms, as the insignia – of his spiritual authority.

The Pope had come, in the estimation of the Pagans, to occupy the place of the representatives of Janus and Cybele – to be entitled to bear their Keys. The Pope saw, that he needed to get it believed, among the Christians – that this False Peter alone, had the Power of the Keys.

He was the False Peter’s successor. The sight of these Keys, would keep up the Delusion. Though the Temporal Dignity of Rome, as the city decayed with their own dignity, as the Bishop of Rome – would be more firmly established, than ever.

” Few lies could be more gross, in course of time, and come to be widely believed. Then the statue of Jupiter was worshipped at Rome, as the WRONG image of Peter. So the keys of Janus and Cybele, have for ages, been devoutly believed – to represent the keys of the same apostle.

Nothing, but judicial infatuation, can account for the credulity of the Christians. These keys, are emblems of an exclusive power, given by Christ to the Pope – through Peter. It is not difficult to see, how the Pagans would rally round the Pope, all the more readily – when they heard him found his Power, on the possession of Peter’s keys. “

An important note now, re my writings, for you to read first. This helps us have more clarity, over my writings above.

Much of the original essence above, has been changed, but not changed much. Some words have been changed slightly, to make things easier to read, but the essence is still mostly there.

I now use wording, that is much easier to read, and be understood.

If you have any questions, specifically about Catholicism, you can email me.

Hello John
This is to let you know that I am in the process of reading this article, and to say I have seen nothing to disagree with so far.

I hope and pray Catholics will be drawn here of The Lord to come and realise what a lair of serpents they have fallen into. Time is so short for folk to read the Bible for themselves (minus the Apocrapha) and find the true Jesus in Scripture alone.

Be strong my brother, and God bless your efforts to reach the lost who don’t realise they are.

Interesting article; however, to the extent religious leaders are making mere church members and not disciples, it is not just the Catholic church who has a problem. The present-day Protestant and ‘non-sectarian’ denominations have huge issues with folks (especially leadership) not seeking the Lord with a whole heart.

Plus, there are those who care more for their own interpretations of Scripture than they do walking in the Spirit, praying constantly, and looking to the needs of others. Better a Catholic who seeks the Lord with a whole heart, than anyone who gives 90% to the Lord expecting to grow spiritually. Got discipleship???

Hi John

I was about to say Amen, to your comment, UNTIL you wrote:

“Better a Catholic who seeks the Lord with a whole heart, than anyone who gives 90% to the Lord expecting to grow spiritually”

One mark as evidence, that a Catholic has been born again, is the work of the Holy Spirit within them – convicting, that they must cease to be Catholic. This is needed, to preach against the pagan. Babylon religion, renamed as Catholicism. Actually, please depart from that system TOTALLY.

To emphasise this, please read 2 Cor 6: 1 4 – 1 8

“Do not be yoked together, with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness, have in common? Or what fellowship, can light have with darkness?

What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God, and idols?

For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

Therefore come out from them, and be separate, says the Lord.

” Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you”. “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty”.

The parts in bold refer to the Babylon system, during the time, that those words were written.

Rome “christianised” this pagan religion, but still continued to practice Babylon, under the new name. These verses, should be applied to Catholicism, of today – and to all other false religions, which were born out of Babylon religion.
