Of course, I wouldn't expect our resident Christian ignoramus to know that, or to provide examples of Paul referring to "Peter."(December 1, 2014 at 6:28 pm)Pickup_shonuff Wrote: He says he met Cephas, a prominent member of the Jerusalem church, distinguished from "The Twelve" in his first letter to the church in Corinth and only mythologized in the Gospels and Acts later on. So, we know little about Cephas and his supposed relationship to "Lord Yahweh Saves Christ Lamb slain from the foundation of the world of Bethlehem and Nazareth, Nazarene son of Man, God, Joseph, and the Virgin Mary."
Somebody tell this guy that Cephas is the aramaiac equivilent to the name "Peter"
Whewwww ignorance.
Then there's your early church father Eusebius, whom you're probably unaware of, since you know, churches generally thrive when their congregants are dolts, who writes in his Book I of his Church History:
"They say that Sosthenes also, who wrote to the Corinthians with Paul, was one of them. This is the account of Clement in the fifth book of his Hypotyposes, in which he also says that Cephas was one of the seventy disciples, a man who bore the same name as the apostle Peter, and the one concerning whom Paul says, When Cephas came to Antioch I withstood him to his face."
