Was Peter just one apostle among many? Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong answer ten more Protestant objections to papal authority, and you'll highlight 30 Bible passages along the way. Ten times the New Testament lists the inner circle of the apostles, and Peter is named first in every single one. Matthew even writes, "first, Simon, who is called Peter" (Matthew 10:2). From that baseline, Kenny and Dave take on the strongest anti-papal arguments: James was named first among the pillars (Galatians 2:9), Peter called himself a "fellow elder" (1 Peter 5:1), Paul rebuked Peter to his face (Galatians 2:11), "feed my sheep" was only a restoration (John 21), John was closer to Jesus, and Paul was the church's real leader. Grab your Bible, a highlighter, and a notebook, and be ready the next time these arguments come at you. Part 2 of 3.
