Was Peter A Catholic? The New Testament contains five different metaphors for the foundation of the Church (Matt. 16:18, 1 Cor. 3:11, Eph. 2:20, 1 Pet. 2:5–6, Rev. 21:14). One metaphor that has been disputed is Jesus Christ’s calling the apostle Peter "rock": "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18
). (www.Catholic.com)The Church Fathers, those Christians closest to the apostles in time, culture, and theological background, clearly understood that Jesus promised to build the Church on Peter, as the following passages show. (www.Catholic.com)1/5/2014

Was Paul Presbyterian?
“The Presbyterian Confession holds that ‘once saved, always saved.’ In other
words, God will not forsake anyone who has truly turned to Christ in faith. However, because of the sinfulness that still lurks in the heart, and because of the temptations of this world, they may fall into sin, even grievous sins, and displease God and grieve the Holy Spirit. But this is only for a time and in the end the grace of God will be victorious” (Miller, pp. 62-63) 1/5/2014

Apostasy BeganChanges in church governmentOne elder or
bishop in a congregation to be regarded as the leader Leading elders located in important cities came to have authority over others in his area. 325 (council of Nicea)
“that the bishop of each metropolitan church should rule the district attached to that church, and be independent, in his ecclesiastical jurisdiction, of any other bishop” At Nicea, the bishops in Rome and Constantinople were given greater honor than the rest (but not greater authority) Various struggles for power took place.In 595 John, Patriarch of Constantinople, first took the title of universal Bishop.Gregory in Rome denounced this move, proclaiming that anyone who proclaimed himself the Universal Bishop was a forerunner of the antichrist.
In 606, the Emperor of Rome took the title away from John and conferred it on Boniface III1/5/201411Slide12
