Peter Haters...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-Catholic Christians who dwell on every mistake that Peter ever made in an attempt to discredit him, only because The Catholic Church is founded on him.
If they pointed out every one whoever God chose that failed, how many of God's chosen would be without sin?
If they didn't believe that he founded The Church, they wouldn't spend so much time attempting to discredit God's chosen.
Notice, they never talk about Judas or Thomas (who denied Jesus "after" His Ressurection).
They never speak ill or point out The Pharisees' mistakes or The Roman Empires.
They never critcize those who beat and who cursed and who crucified Jesus.
They only work to defame good Christians like Peter, like Mary, like The Knights Templar who have an unblemished record. And why? Not because they were failures or "imperfect" in their eyes...but simply because we love them.
It's our love for Peter, for Mary, for The Templars that drives them to rages and fills their hearts with wrath and animosity towards them.
If they spent as much time studying what Jesus taught
as opposed to Peter's failures or how many references they could find in The Bible
that suggest that Mary had sexual realtions after Jesus was born (an absurd obsession of theirs), then they might have found time to read this:
(I guarantee you that they can quote each error Peter ever made while all the time completely ignoring everybody else's faults
and ignoring those who actually did physical harm to Christ
and acting as if Peter was the only Apostle who abandoned Christ
[save John], yet "not" be able to tell you where these quotes comes from off hand...)
John 8
7
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them,
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
Matthew 7
1
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye;
and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
If a person's faith is true, then they don't "have to" attack anybody else's faith.
All that would be needed to prove someone's faith the true faith is by simply reflecting their leader in behavior.
I ask this...when Peter denied knowing Jesus, what did Jesus do? He redeemed him. So if Jesus forgave Peter, how can anyone who calls themselves a Christian work to "undo" what Jesus has done?
I learned this with Martin Luther. I was wrong about him. I wasn't wrong about what he actually historically did, but I was wrong to use him and his failures to prove Protestants wrong (especially after finding out two things: The Martin Luther has been seriously misrepresented and that most Protestants rejects most of his teachings anyway).
Let my pride be like ashes.
