Was not Peter a disciple of Jesus, when is the servant greater than the teacher ?
Was not Peter a Jew as was Timothy and did not Peter try to keep the tradition as well as Timothy alive and well.
The Gospel are those Words spoken by Jesus, not by Peter, Paul or Timothy.
The Gospel is the Book of John, the Book of Mark, the Book of Matthew, and the Book of Luke.
Where does it say the Book of Act, Romans,Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, Peter, John, or Jude are part of the Gosep, or the New Testament.
Where does it say these books are include in the Word of Jesus ? Jesus said, "Repent and believe the Gospel" His Words. The Holy Ghost was to bring to their remembrance WHATSOEVER Jesus had SPOKEN to them, The Words He SPOKE in His GOSPEL.

Truly you are missing the bigger picture. You ask "Where does it say the book of Acts . . . are part of the Gosep [sic], or the New Testament".
The question is, where does it say that the four Gospels we have today are Jesus' true words? How do you know they are? Just because they say so themselves? If I write a book and write in it, "This book contains the true words of Jesus", does that make it automatically true?
There were many other "gospels" that were written, some of which claimed to have the true words of Jesus, but they were left out of the New Testament. Who decided that?
The way you know that the Gospels are part of the New Testament, is the same way you know that the book of Acts, et al., are part of the New Testament: Because the Catholic Church said so. It was given authority by Jesus to speak and act in his name.
If you're going to start deciding for yourself which books belong and which don't, then you might as well write your own Bible.

No, Because Teacher Always Greater Than Student, Jesus Know His Diciples Would Write His Words To Peoples.

The Church, by it's God given authority, and through the Holy Spirit, has determined that these books are the Word of God.
You need to read and study the history of the formation of the Christian Canon. Most of these books were accepted as holy books by the early Church and most were accepted by 200-300 AD by most bishops of the Christian Church.
No, Peter, Paul, and Timothy are not greater than Christ, and they will be the first to say so, if you go back and actually *read* those New Testament books....

Nobody is more greater than everybody else as we all hold within us the same divine soul .Jesus was the one who has set an example to the rest of humanity and that all .Someday we all will achieve the same greatness as he himself has achieved long ago and shall as well move on to greater things as the law of spiritual evolution propels us forward in the unfolding of our inner divinity in which we all share the same greatness.

I don't know what happened to your original question. It got lost in your subsequent rant.
FYI, there are none above Jesus on this earth. He was above all, descended below all and now resides again above all on the right hand of His Father. If we play our lives right, we can become joint heirs with Christ in the Father's Kingdom. That is the goal, not to become greater than Him but to become like Him and be with Him in the eternities.

Then why didn't he see fit to personally write a gospel? Oh yeah, he left it to his ghost writers -- proving that god could see the future of fiction.
