If I am wrong I will be judged.

Papal primacy is a matter of theology and is fairly easy to settle

I know, but I don't agree with the current pope and so I won't listen to him.

The Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Aramaic and is actually written primarily for the Jews

ܐܴܦ݂ ܐܷܢܳܐ ܐܴܡܰܪ ܐ̱ܢܳܐ ܠܴܟ݂ ܂ ܕܱ݁ܐܢ̄ܬ݁ ܗ̄ܽܘ ܟܻ݁ܐܦ݂ܳܐ ܂ ܘܥܰܠ ܗܳܕ݂ܶܐ ܟܻ݁ܐܦ݂ܳܐ ܐܷܒ݂ܢܶܝܗ ܠܥܺܕ̱݁ܬ݁ܝ܂ ܘܬ݂ܱܪ̈ܥܶܐ ܕܱ݁ܫܝܽܘܠ ܠܴܐ ܢܶܚܣܢܽܘܢܳܗ܂

The word ܟܺܐܦܳܐ

Means rock

Basically you are Peter and on this Peter...or, you are Rock and on this Rock...both equally correct

Paul usually uses that word to refer to him, rather than the Greek word

Transliteration "Cephas"

Peter's name means rock.

So of course he would refer to him that way

Besides, Paul rebuked a church once because they were saying

"I follow Paul, I follow John, I follow Peter!" Etcc

And Paul thanked God he didn't baptize but a few because the ones he baptized were followers of Christ.

He named Peter that

You are Rock, and on this Rock

Even when writing in Greek, Paul usually chose to use the Aramaic transliteration rather than the Greek translation "Petrus"

"The blessed Peter, the chosen, the preeminent, the first among the disciples, for whom alone with himself the Savior paid the tribute, quickly gasped and understood their meaning. And what does he say? 'Behold, we have left all and have followed you'" - Clement of Alexandria, 200 AD

"The Lord says to Peter: 'I say to you,' he says, 'that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.' On him he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep, and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair, and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was, but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. So too, all are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the apostles in single-minded accord. If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?" - Cyprian of Carthage 251 AD

"In the power of the same Holy Spirit, Peter, both the chief of the apostles and the keeper of the keys of the kingdom of heaven, in the name of Christ healed Aeneas the paralytic at Lydda, which is now called Diospolis." - Cyril of Jerusalem, 350 AD

This kinda stuff is all over ancient writings from the first 500 years of the Church

@Deleted User Do you know what orthodox churches are in communion with the papacy?

@Deleted User none that I know of

If they were, then they'd be called Eastern Catholic

Unless maybe you guys call them something different

As far as my knowledge goes there are some Eastern churches (referred as Catholics though) here in Greece but there are few

In English when we say Orthodox we are talking about Eastern and Oriental Orthodox that are not in communion with Rome and split in 1054

Yeah those are the ones I mentioned last night, we call them Eastern Catholic but they kept the same liturgical rites when they returned

ahh I see

The only ones we have in America are from historic immigrant communities like Greeks

interesting didn't knew that

There's usually like ONE in each major city, maybe two

Funnily though even Orthodox has a schism nowdays with the russian church too

If an Orthodox went to one they probably wouldn't notice any difference. Except the filioque and the Pope

And our Biblical Canon is slightly smaller

They use koine Greek or latin?

About half of them use Greek

I see, well I learned something new today lol

Alexandrian rite uses Coptic

They're from Egypt, Eritrea, and Ethiopia
