qfnol31 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) Gotta explain yourself. Give good arguments! [color=red]edited to say: [/color]LoL, I must say that this came about because someone said to me that St. John is better. Therefore, though I think that neither is really "better," this gives great opportunity for learning. Edited June 11, 2004 by qfnol31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenaBobba Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I voted for St. Peter, but an explanation is in order. I wouldn't say that St. Peter is better than St. John, but I voted for Peter because Jesus gave him authority as the first Pope based on Mt. 16:18, Is. 22, and several other passages. (The historical evidence also points to the fact that Peter was the "chief" of the Apostles.) That being said, I don't think he's better; I think he's more important and more authoritative. God bless, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiciblanche Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 St. John is the beloved Apostle. And he was more humble than Peter, obviously, because he doesn't care that Peter is "more important." (Don't mind me and Zach - we're in an argument about this - but at least I can agreee that St. Gregory [what is it? V?] isn't comparable to St. Peter. But St. John is.

qfnol31 Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 I love to argue. Though, I will begin by saying that St. Peter must be best cause he's head of the Church and got the keys to Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 This is too hard! I voted St. John because I've always liked him for some reason. He was the "disciple who Jesus loved." But on the other hand, St. Peter's awesome too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusader1234 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Like Jen, I dont think that either of them are 'better'. While St. John was the Apostle Jesus loved, Jesus gave authority to Peter. I could really go either way on this one, but I think that based on the fact that he was the first Pope, Peter takes it by a nose. RICH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThyWillBeDone Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Oh such a hard one. I not sure we can say either is better, they were just different. John was the beloved apostles and Jesus gave his Mom to him, but Jesus gave his church to Peter. Hmm, very hard, but I am going to have to give it to our first pope, he wins by a nose in a very close race. God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
