No, because Orthodox don't interpret that verse the way you do
*God doesn't show favoritism*
It is the Divine order that some people are in charge of others. Some are to rule, some are to be ruled.
Orthodox have bishops and priests, they acknowledge this
Bishops were meant to be equals
Ragnarok you're twisting my words.
A bishop is not God's favorite against Mike
I'm saying what Mike is saying.
He is just appointed to a task
**I'M SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING MIKE IS SAYING, YOU TOOK ONE WORD AND WENT INTO THE DEEP END CALLING ME A COMMUNIST**
Paul is telling us he is equal among the apostles, and that even though the Galatians were holding *some* apostles in high esteem, *God* doesn't show favoritism.
Which is then entirely irrelevant to the question of papal primacy
If all Apostles are equal then Papal Primacy doesn't exist.
Then Matthew 16:17-19 doesn't exist
The papacy is just the bishop of Rome
Nor does all of the writings of the Early Church
nothing more or less
Then Mathew 18:18 doesn't exist when all apostles were given that authority.
Were they all called the rock?
Were they all given the keys?
"You are peter and on this rock."
Unless some meaning was lost in translation, enlighten me.
Peter means rock
It's you are rock and on this rock
Your argument sounds like a Protestant
ܐܴܦ݂ ܐܷܢܳܐ ܐܴܡܰܪ ܐ̱ܢܳܐ ܠܴܟ݂ ܂ ܕܱ݁ܐܢ̄ܬ݁ ܗ̄ܽܘ ܟܻ݁ܐܦ݂ܳܐ ܂ ܘܥܰܠ ܗܳܕ݂ܶܐ ܟܻ݁ܐܦ݂ܳܐ ܐܷܒ݂ܢܶܝܗ ܠܥܺܕ̱݁ܬ݁ܝ܂ ܘܬ݂ܱܪ̈ܥܶܐ ܕܱ݁ܫܝܽܘܠ ܠܴܐ ܢܶܚܣܢܽܘܢܳܗ܂
Christ is the head of all the churches
Bishops are equal among them
ܟܺܐܦܳܐ
ܟܺܐܦܳܐ
ܟܺܐܦܳܐ
ܟܺܐܦܳܐ
And my argument still stands, until 1053 all bishops were equal
After 1053 the Bishop of Rome waged war to the other churches by demanding conversing or closing them up
Where was his right to this?
Is that Aramaic @Deleted User
@Iakovos yes
OHHHHHHHHH
John 1:42
Christ literally named him Rock.
"You are Simon and you will be called Cephas."
@Deleted User if your statement is taken as entirely true at face value, and there is no missing knowledge, then I would say no it is not right to close down a liturgical rite if it is doctinally sound
Also Rag.
You know I'm a lover of Scripture, and so that is where you will win my heart over what any man has written.
