Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises
Oops of the Day
Jesus gave Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Then he preached the first church sermon in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost. Then he went to Rome and became the first pope.
Matthew 16:16-19 – Matthew 18:18 – Acts 2:6-1 1& 14 & 37 – Acts 10:25-26 – II Peter 1:1 & 14-15
Fact of the Day
No!
- 1-Jesus gave the binding keys of the kingdom to all the apostles.
- 2-All the apostles preached in the twelve languages of the crowd on the Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem. Only Perer’s sermon is recorded.
- 3-Even in Peter’s second letter where he said he was about to die, he only identified himself as an indentured servant, apostle, and Peter (the pebble) – never as pope.
- 4-He was married.
- 5-When the Apostle Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome, he greeted thirty Christians by name. Why didn’t he greet Peter?
