"The church of God is not built upon the Apostle Peter, as claimed
by very many who profess to be Christian teachers, for Peter was but a man, and fallible like all who are human.
If any testimony were needed upon this point other than that supplied by reason and common sense, it is furnished by the Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Galatians.
In the second chapter of this letter, speaking of his visit with Barnabas to the brethren at Jerusalem, he says:
Galatians 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
How many other mistakes Peter made we are not informed,but the record of this one has been left to us, in anticipation, it may be, of the blasphemous claim that was to be put forth for his so-called successors, the popes." E.J.Waggoner
