Oh wise one, why don't you tell us why Peter went down to Samaria???
Why didn't it happen with Phillip? Perhaps the essay wouldn't have been long enough without a few irrelevant details???
Are we to think that Peter was the only one obeying ... the Great Commission or the command to be witnesses as given in Acts 8 .... The writer couldve written about any of the other Apostles ... who were doing the same ... he decided to focus on Peter ... and Paul ...
Sounds pious, but in an attempt to belittle the importance of revelation knowledge, and SOUND DOCTRINE, one cannot just say "Jesus is the revelation" AS IF that implies that said revelation does not necessarily include a certain amount of KNOWLEDGE BEING REVEALED, which in turn requires that a person possess revelation KNOWLEDGE concerning Jesus Christ.
The fact that Jesus is "the Word of God" does not mean one can "have the Word of God" WITHOUT knowledge of and understanding of the WORD (scripture) that proceeds forth from His mouth.

Fine ...you make your rock ... the revelation ....
I marvel at the hostility some have toward the Apostolic message. The hatred is so overwhelming. I hope the good God of glory never allows my soul to become so bitter that I spend my time ranting against the wholesome Apostolic church and it's message.
