How is it that the claim of Peter being the 1st POPE came about?
What about the APOSTOLIC PROCESSION? There were many, many years between Peter and the next 'Pope'.
If you have read the Bible, it clearly shows that Peter was not the Apostiles that held the most influence in the early church, but Paul.
Paul went to ROME
And the idea of the apostles being Peters bishops is equally unfounded, in both the bible and extra biblical, contemperary writings.
Paul rebuked Peter openly for his lack of faith and his fear of the converted Jews.
Jesus gave 3 disciples 'nicknames'
The 'sons of thunder', for their desire to call down fire from heaven, and 'peter', the stone, because of the revelation that he received.
the anticedent in the sentence upon this rock I shall build my church, was revelation, not a man.
The proof being that Peter had very little documented activity after Christ.
It was Paul, the one that picked up the Bishoprick of Judas, that was mightily used.
The Bible says so!

I know some of the Indian and Japanese people's original religion is BUddhism.So instead of the ones who has converted to Buddhism from other religions,I would like to ask my question to the originally Buddhist people.
I'm Turkish and I would like to undertsand and learn and practise Buddhism thouroughly.
I have read a couple of books but not directly about the Buddhist teaching.
I know about the Sutras...But don't know how to reach them.
So my question is,what is the best way for a person from another religion to understand and maybe practise Buddhism ??
How can I get to know the original teaching and how can find the right source??
What would you buddists suggest to me?
It can be though internet and books...
No way I can talk about it with a buddhist and the only people I have come to meet have been Hindus until now.
Do you think I can understand and become a buddhist if I learn it from books or any other wise?
thnx

As a Christian I think so. If someone had a different religion then me I'd be afriad of them turning my eyes from Christ. If I really loved them I'd want to convert them but BEFORE we started dating. I want someone who can help me with my walk with Christ.

Evolution (that is upward evolution; macro evolution) requires new information being added to the genome. A cow can duplicate info and produce another leg, but to produce a feather (or even the start of a feather or whatever) it needs NEW information added.
Can anyone give me an example that WE HAVE SEEN where new information is addded to the genome?

Fundamentalism, the infantile literalist interpretation of scriptures, is promoting narrow-mindedness, hatred, intolerance and is at the root of the "War on Terror" which pits fundamentalist Muslims against fundamentalist Christians. It prevents people from realizing the truth that all faiths expound the same teachings: to love thy neighbour as thy self.

Will it continue to hold sway over millions, undermining the teachings of the prophets fundamentalists claim to follow? Or will faith that is consistent with the God-given intelligence to see the world as it is, rather than how we wish it were, prevail?

That the universe has always existed, or is looping, is no answer. I used the big bang, or a start to the universe, as a conversation starter. The question remains unanswered, at least secularly. There has to be some independent existence, something that creates and was not created, something that was before. And to ask where God began evades the question. Both space and time came into existence with the creation of the universe. The creator of this universe is outside of the universe and therefore outside of time and space. I do not say this as if it were obvious or even completely understandable. But, it is logical. It is simply not possible to go back to a point where there was nothing. The universe cannot and could not bring itself into being.

I personally like "The Lamb of God" and "The Good Shepherd" because my grandpa was a sheepherder, and I grew up around lambs. Feel free to explain which title or phrase you like.

Do they have any less right calling that Christian a terrorist, than a Muslim that opens fire on innocent Christians in your neighborhood?

If so, why?
