The House Of Truth: August 2021

What did Peter the Jew teach and do?

The Eastern leg of the False Church of Rome says that Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simon aka Simeon aka Cephas aka the Apostle Peter) started the church at Antioch and was the first Patriarch of Antioch.

For this reason, the Eastern leg of the False Church of Rome claimed that the true successors of Peter the Jew were the Patriarchs of Antioch. This did not change until the Patriarch of Antioch moved to Constantinople and became the new Patriarch of Constantinople.

At this point, the title of "First among equals" was transferred to the Patriarch of Constantinople. The Eastern leg of the False Church of Rome say that Peter the Jew and his successors only held tie breaking voting power.

The Western leg of the False Church of Rome says that Peter the Jew found the church of Rome in 68 AD and was the first Pope (Bishop of Rome). This is also based on the claim by Pope Innocent I that Peter the Jew was the only one of the Original Twelve Apostles of Truth to work in the western (Latin speaking) half of the Roman Empire. Tertullian reported that Peter the Jew appointed Clement as his successor.

For this reason, the Western leg of the False Church of Rome claimed that the true successors of Peter the Jew were the Popes.

The Western leg of the False Church of Rome also says that Peter the Jew was made the foundational rock on which the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) would build his church. They assert that Peter the Jew was given authority over the other Apostles of Truth. So, the Pope has inherited supreme authority over all followers of the Man of Truth, including all ministers.

There are many supposed histories about Peter the Jew. They can be grouped into three sets.

The first set are a long series of letters supposedly written by Peter the Jew or about Peter the Jew by various people that knew him firsthand. These letters include: the Gospel of Peter, the Preaching of Peter, the Acts of Peter, the Acts of Peter and Andrew, the Acts of Peter and the Twelve, the Acts of Peter and Paul, the Letter of Peter to Philip, the Letter of Peter to James the Just, the Apocalypse of Peter and the Coptic Apocalypse of Peter.

Almost all these letters were written 40 to 140 years after Peter the Jew died. All of them have proven to be frauds.

The second set is the writings of many of the so-called Church Fathers, who were part of the originators of the False Church of Rome. These writings contain a mixture of history, doctrine, and fantastical stories. It claims that what it says about Peter the Jew is built upon the foundation source.

It also claims that Peter the Jew lived in Antioch for seven years before going to Rome to organize the first church there and served as the first Pope. It also claims that Peter the Jew died in Rome and named Linus the Italian as his successor as Pope.

The foundational source about Peter the Jew is the third set of writings. This is the set of writings of the Apostles of Truth that make up the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).

These include two letters that Peter the Jew authored. Many modern scholars claim that Peter the Jew could not have written any documents since he was an illiterate fisherman when he began following the Man of Truth.

This is rather faulty scholarship.

First, it assumes that Peter the Jew was illiterate because he was a fisherman.

John the Jew (Yochanon aka John, son of Zebedee aka The Apostle John) was also a fisherman and no one assumes that he was illiterate.

Secondly, it assumes that Peter the Jew was unable to learn to read or write in a span of 30 years.

People can learn to read or write in another language in much less than 30 years. My daughter became a translator of Japanese, rated the hardest language in the world for English only speakers to learn, in less than five years by taking classes and practicing at home. Peter the Jew had the advantage of constantly being surrounded by native Greek speakers.

Thirdly, it assumes that just because Peter the Jew was the author of the letters, that he physically wrote them himself.

He could have simply dictated them to someone else who did the actual writing.

So, what does this foundational source about Peter the Jew say that Peter the Jew taught and did? The best place to start is when he first met the Man of Truth and was called a stone.

[NOTE: The Gospel of Luke is written as a history and has events in chronological order. The Gospel of John generally has events in the order that they occurred as well. The Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark are not strictly chronological but are arranged to bring out certain aspects of the Man of Truth in their main sections. They both have a prologue that explains events proceeding the main section, a main section that is composed of divisions that each contain related events and teachings to emphasize a certain aspect, and an epilogue that explains the events that follow the main section.

This is important to understand when creating a comprehensive timeline of anything found in The Gospels. There is no conflict between them, but they work together like a four part harmony to highlight different aspects of the life of the Man of Truth.]

29 AD (Israel):

The day after John the Baptist (Yochanon the Mikveh Man) identified the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, Andrew the Jew began following the Man of Truth and staying with him (John 1:29-40). The next day, Andrew the Jew brought Peter the Jew to the Man of Truth, who called him "Cephas", which means "a stone" (John 1:41-42).

The next day, the Man of Truth called Philip the Jew (The Apostle Philip), who was from the same city as Peter the Jew, to follow him (John 1:43-44).

Many days later, the Man of Truth went to Judea where John the Baptist was also baptizing at, because he had not yet been thrown in prison (John 3:22-24).

After John the Baptist was thrown into prison, the Man of Truth went to Galilee and began preaching repentance (Matthew 4:12-20). At that time, he called Peter the Jew to leave off his fishing to follow him, so Peter the Jew did (Mark 1:14-18).

Later, the Man of Truth went to the house of Peter the Jew (Matthew 8:14-15). When they arrived from the synagogue, they found that the mother-in-law of Peter the Jew was sick with a fever (Mark 1:29-31). So, the Man of Truth healed her (Luke 4:38-39).

The next day, the Man of Truth went to a solitary place to pray, but Peter the Jew told him that many people were seeking after him (Mark 1:35-39). So, the Man of Truth went to preach in the synagogues of other cities in Galilee (Luke 4:42-44).

Many days later, the Man of Truth stood by the shores of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Gennesaret) to address a crowd that was following him, when he saw two ships pulled up to the shore and the fishermen washing their nets (Luke 5:1-2). So, he got into the ship of Peter the Jew and asked him to pull out from the shore, then he addressed the crowd on the shore from the ship (Luke 5:3).

After the Man of Truth finished addressing the crowd, he told Peter the Jew to let down his nets again to catch fish, and he did, despite not catching anything all night (Luke 5:4-5). The net of Peter the Jew was filled with so many fish that his partners had to help him bring in the haul (Luke 5:6-9). So, Peter the Jew and his fishing partners finally forsook everything to follow the Man of Truth (Luke 5:10-11).

So, Peter the Jew did not forsake everything to follow the Man of Truth until many days after the Man of Truth first called him a stone.

A while after that, the Man of Truth chose twelve of his disciples to cast out Spirits of Lies and heal disease (Matthew 10:1-4). He called them to come up to him on the mountain where he was (Mark 3:13-19). He had spent all night on the mountain praying, before calling Peter the Jew and eleven other disciples to become the Twelve Original Apostles of Truth (aka The Twelve) (Luke 6:12-16).

Not long after that, the Man of Truth asked The Twelve if they were going to leave him like most people, but Peter the Jew said that they had nowhere else to go since he was the Messiah of Israel (John 6:67-71).

Later, a woman with an issue of blood touched a kanaph (corner on the border where tzitzits are tied aka "the wing") of the tallit (cloak) of the Man of Truth (Matthew 9:18-22). He was on the way to the house of Jairus to heal his daughter, when healing power went out of the Man of Truth, so he asked who touched him, but no one answered (Mark 5:23-34). Peter the Jew asked who could tell with such a large crowd, but the woman who was healed came forward and the Man of Truth told her to go in peace (Luke 8:41-48).

When the Man of Truth went into the house of the ruler of the synagogue, the people were mourning (Matthew 9:23-25). Peter the Jew was one of only three Apostles of Truth that went in with him (Mark 5:35-43). Peter the Jew was there when the Man of Truth raised the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue from the dead (Luke 8:49-56).

30 AD (Israel):

Not long after that, Peter the Jew walked on the water to meet the Man of Truth - in the midst of a storm (Matthew 14:22-34). The Man of Truth had told the Twelve to get in the ship and go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee while he went up to a mountain to pray, but a storm came up when they were halfway there (Mark 6:45-53). When the Man of Truth stepped in the ship, the storm ended, and the ship was suddenly on the other side of the Sea of Galilee (John 6:15-21).

Days later, Peter the Jew asked the Man of Truth what he meant by people are not defiled by what goes in their mouth, but by what comes out of it (Matthew 15:10-20). The Man of Truth explained that food that goes in the mouth only passes through the body, but the words that come out of the mouth show the wickedness that has defiled the hearts of people (Mark 7:14-23).

A few days later, the Man of Truth called Peter the Jew blessed for having the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) reveal to him that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel (Matthew 16:13-17). He then called him "Peter" (a stone) and upon the rock (Petra - a rock so large a city was carved out of it) of this revelation, the Man of Truth would build his church (called out assembly), which would forbid and permit on Earth what was forbidden and permitted in Heaven (Matthew 16:18-20). Most people had said that the Man of Truth was someone other than the Messiah of Israel (Mark 8:27-30). So, the Man of Truth charged The Twelve to not tell other people that he was the Messiah of Israel (Luke 9:18-21).

Was Peter the Jew now an immovable rock (like Petra) that the Man of Truth would build his church upon after he was called a stone for a second time?

Afterwards, Peter the Jew rebuked the Man of Truth for saying that he would suffer and die at the hands of the religious leaders in Jerusalem but be raised again after three days (Matthew 16:21-23). The Man of Truth then rebuked Peter the Jew for listening to the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) and desiring the things that were human, instead what came from the Father of Truth (Mark 8:31-33).

Six days later, the Man of Truth took Peter the Jew and two other Apostles of Truth with him up a mountain and turned completely white, shining like the sun (Matthew 17:1-9). Then Moses (Moishe) and Elijah (Eliyahu), two Prophet of Truths, and Peter the Jew asked if he should build tabernacles for everyone (Mark 9:1-10). Then the Father of Truth announced from a bright cloud that the Man of Truth was His Son (Luke 9:28-35). Suddenly, the Man of Truth was normal and alone, but he told the three Apostles of Truth to not tell anyone what they saw on the mountain until after his resurrection (Luke 9:36).

Peter the Jew had seen the majesty of the Man of Truth and heard the voice of the Father of Truth firsthand on this holy mount (2 Peter 1:16-18).

Later, when they came to Capernaum, the Man of Truth had Peter the Jew cast a hook in the sea and take the money needed to pay their taxes out of the mouth of the first fish he caught (Matthew 17:24-27).

When Peter the Jew asked him if forgiving his brother seven times in a day was enough, the Man of Truth told him that he had to forgive until seventy times seven (Matthew 18:21-22).

Days later, the Man of Truth told a couple of parables about people needing to be watchful and doing what they are supposed to always do, because they do not know when other people will show up (Matthew 24:42-51). When Peter the Jew asked him what the parables meant, the Man of Truth explained that they meant that his followers should always be watching for his return and doing what they are supposed to do, because they do not know when he will return (Luke 12:35-48).

31 AD (Israel):

Many days later, Peter the Jew asked the Man of Truth what they would receive for forsaking everything to follow him (Matthew 19:27-30). The Man of Truth answered that they would receive much more than what they gave up in this life, but it would come with persecutions (Mark 10:28-31). He also told Peter the Jew that they would receive eternal life in the world to come (Luke 18:28-30).

31 AD (Jerusalem):

When the Man of Truth left Bethany to go to Jerusalem, he cursed a fig tree because it had no fruit, even though it had the signs of having fruit (Matthew 21:18-22). When he left Jerusalem to go back to Bethany, Peter the Jew was amazed that the cursed fig tree had withered away, but the Man of Truth told him to have faith in the Father of Truth and the Father of Truth would do what he asked (Mark 11:12-24).

When the Man of Truth came back to Jerusalem, his disciples told him how beautiful the Temple was, but he said that it would be completely destroyed (Matthew 24:1-31). Peter the Jew and some other Apostles of Truth then asked him when this would be as well as the signs of the end of this present age (Mark 13:1-27). He replied with a long list of signs leading up the destruction of the Temple and the Tribulation that will bring about the end of this present age (Luke 21:5-28).

So, Peter the Jew had not been like the immovable rock of Petra that the Man of Truth would build his church upon while he followed him until they reached Jerusalem for the final time - he had struggled with being influence by the Father of Lies, unforgiveness, and doubt. What about afterwards?

As Passover (Pesach) approached, the Man of Truth told Peter the Jew and John the Jew to prepare the Passover meal at the place he described, and they did (Luke 22:7-13).

When the Man of Truth began washing the feet of the disciples, Peter the Jew asked him if he was going to wash his feet (John 13:4-6). Peter the Jew then said that the Man of Truth would never wash his feet, but the Man of Truth said that if he did not, then Peter the Jew would have no part with him (John 13:7-8). So, Peter the Jew asked the Man of Truth to wash his hands and head as well (John 13:9). The Man of Truth told him that was not necessary, but still not all of the Twelve were clean (John 13:10-11).

As they ate, Peter the Jew signaled John the Jew to ask the Man of Truth who was going to betray him, and the Man of Truth gave a sign that it was Judas Iscariot (John 13:21-26).

After the Judas Iscariot left to betray him, the Man of Truth said he would be going where the rest of his disciples could not follow, but he told Peter the Jew that he would follow him later (John 13:33-36). Peter the Jew said that he would lay down his life for the Man of Truth, but the Man of Truth said that he would deny him three times instead (John 13:37-38).

Then the Man of Truth told Peter the Jew that the Father of Lies had desired to crush him, but he had prayed that the faith of Peter the Jew not fail and instructed Peter the Jew to strengthen the others after he was converted from his faithlessness (Luke 22:31-32). Peter the Jew said that he would follow the Man of Truth both to prison and death, but the Man of Truth said that he would deny him three times instead (Luke 22:33-34).

When they arrived at the Mount of Olives, the Man of Truth told Peter the Jew that all of the disciples would forsake him, but Peter the Jew declared that even if everyone else did so, he would never do so (Matthew 26:30-35). So, the Man of Truth said that Peter the Jew would deny him three times instead, yet the rest of the disciples also swore that they would never forsake the Man of Truth (Mark 14:26-31).

When they came to the Garden of Gethsemane, the Man of Truth took Peter the Jew with two other Apostles of Truth a little further than the rest, and then told them to watch and pray (Matthew 26:36-46). Three times, he then went a further by himself and then prayed in agony for his upcoming suffering to be taken away if possible, but if not, then he would do the will of the Father of Truth (Mark 14:32-42). Each time after he prayed, he came back and found Peter the Jew asleep with the others, until he woke them because his betrayer was about to arrive (Luke 22:39-46).

Then Judas Iscariot arrived leading a band of soldiers sent by the chief priests, and he betrayed the Man of Truth with a kiss (Matthew 26:47-56). Peter the Jew then struck off the ear of the servant of the High Priest with a sword, but when the Man of Truth surrendered anyways, Peter the Jew and the rest of the disciples all ran away leaving the Man of Truth all alone (Mark 14:43-52). Before Peter the Jew had run away, the Man of Truth had put the ear back on the servant (Luke 22:47-53). He had also told Peter the Jew to put away his sword, because he would do all that the Father of Truth asked (John 18:3-11).

Peter the Jew then followed the Man of Truth from afar (Matthew 26:57-58). He followed him into the palace of the High Priest (Mark 14:53-54). He warmed himself at the fire with the servants of the High Priest (Luke 22:54-55). John the Jew, who went with Peter the Jew, was known to the High Priest, so he got the girl who kept the door to let Peter the Jew into the courtyard (John 18:12-16).

When the girl who let them in said that Peter the Jew was a disciple of the Man of Truth, he denied it (Matthew 26:69-75). When Peter the Jew moved to the porch of the palace, he was again called a disciple of the Man of Truth, and again he denied it (Mark 14:66-72). About an hour later, Peter the Jew again denied knowing the Man of Truth, but then he saw the battered face of the Man of Truth and wept bitterly (Luke 22:56-62). Peter the Jew had denied the Man of Truth three times as the Man of Truth had said he would (John 18:17-27).

Peter the Jew resisted letting the Man of Truth wash his feet. Peter the Jew said three times that he would never deny the Man of Truth and was told three times by the Man of Truth that he would deny him three times. Peter the Jew fell asleep three times as the Man of Truth prayed in agony. Peter the Jew then tried to stop the Man of Truth from being arrested to fulfill the will of the Father of Truth and ran away when the Man of Truth allowed himself to be arrested. Finally, Peter the Jew denied the Man of Truth three times.

Peter the Jew was far from being the immovable rock of Petra that the Man of Truth would build his church upon during the worst day in the life of the Man of Truth. What about afterwards?

When Mary Magdalene first found the empty tomb, she ran to Peter the Jew and John the Jew to tell them that someone had taken the body of the Man of Truth (John 20:1-2).

So, Peter the Jew ran to the tomb with John the Jew, but John the Jew got there first and then stopped at the doorway of the tomb (John 20:3-5). However, Peter the Jew ran right into the tomb and saw the grave clothes neatly arranged on the tomb slab (John 20:6-7).

Then Mary Magdalene went back to the tomb with another Mary, an Angel of Truth told them that the Man of Truth had risen from the dead (Matthew 28:5-8). The Angel of Truth also told them to tell Peter the Jew and the other disciples to meet the Man of Truth in Galilee (Mark 16:5-8).

When the Mary Magdalene told the disciples that the Man of Truth had risen, they did not believe her, but Peter the Jew ran to the tomb again and only found the grave clothes (Luke 24:10-12).

After this, the Man of Truth appeared to Peter the Jew (1 Corinthians 15:3-5).

Then Peter the Jew told the rest of the remaining eleven Original Apostles of Truth that he had seen the risen Man of Truth (Luke 24:33-34).

When they got to Galilee, Peter the Jew decided to go fishing with some of the other disciples, but they caught nothing after fishing all night (John 21:1-3). When a man told them to cast their net on the other side and it was full of fish, John the Jew said that it was the Man of Truth, and then Peter the Jew jumped out of the boat to get to him quickly (John 21:4-7). When Peter the Jew reached the Man of Truth, he told him to get the fish they had caught, so Peter the Jew pulled in the net full of fish (John 21:8-11).

After they had finished eating the fish that the Man of Truth had cooked, the Man of Truth asked him if he loved him more than these, and Peter the Jew answered that he did, so the Man of Truth told him to feed his lambs (John 21:12-15). Then the Man of Truth asked him the same thing two more times and Peter the Jew became very sad, because it was one time for each time he had failed the Man of Truth, so he promised to two more times to take care the sheep of the Man of Truth (John 21:16-17).

Then the Man of Truth told Peter the Jew that when he was old that he would die as a martyr, but that he needed to follow the Man of Truth regardless of what would happen to the other Apostles of Truth (John 21:18-22).

So, Peter the Jew doubted the reports and evidence that the Man of Truth had risen from the dead as he had said he would until Peter the Jew saw the Man of Truth for himself. Then the Man of Truth had to ask Peter the Jew three times to take care of his other disciples. Finally, the Man of Truth had to tell Peter the Jew to follow him regardless of the cost.

So, Peter the Jew had not been like the immovable rock of Petra that the Man of Truth would build his church upon after the Resurrection. What about afterwards?

After the Man of Truth returned to Heaven, Peter the Jew and the other disciples all stayed together in Jerusalem to wait for the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) as the Man of Truth had instructed (Acts 1:4-14). While they waited, Peter the Jew led the effort to find a replacement for Judas Iscariot (Acts 1:15-22).

When Jewish visitors to Jerusalem heard these Galilean disciples speaking in the foreign languages of their homelands, Peter the Jew explained that this is what Joel the Prophet of Truth had said would happen when the Spirit of Truth was poured over people (Acts 2:7-21). He then told these Jewish visitors that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel that the Jewish people had killed, but the Father of Truth had raised him from the dead as King David had prophesied (Acts 2:22-36). When they asked what they should do, Peter the Jew told the large crowd that they should repent and be baptized in the name of the Man of Truth, resulting in 3,000 of them coming to the House of Truth (Acts 2:37-41).

Later, Peter the Jew and John the Jew went to the Temple, where they encountered a lame beggar outside the Beautiful Gate (Acts 3:1-3). They got his attention, and then Peter the Jew told the beggar that he had no money to give him, but instead commanded him to walk in the name of the Man of Truth and the beggar then began to stand on his own (Acts 3:4-7).

Then the beggar went leaping and jumping into the Temple with them until they arrived at Solomon's porch where a great crowd assembled looking at Peter the Jew and John the Jew in wonder (Acts 3:8-11). So, Peter the Jew preached to the crowd that this man had been healed, so they would know that the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel, and they would be forgiven for having him crucified, if they would surrender to the obey him as Moses (Moshe) had said (Acts 3:12-26).

When Peter the Jew and John the Jew stood on trial before the council of the High Priest the next day, Peter the Jew told him that the beggar had been healed in the name of the Man of Truth - the Messiah of Israel that the High Priest had condemned to death - but the Father of Truth had raised from the dead (Acts 4:6-12). The council was amazed at their boldness and could not dispute that a miracle had been done, but they still commanded Peter the Jew and John the Jew to no longer preach or teach in the name of the Man of Truth (Acts 4:13-18). However, Peter the Jew and John the Jew responded that they would continue to preach and teach in the name of the Man of Truth, but the council could nothing but threaten them some more and let them go without risking a riot breaking out in the Temple (Acts 4:19-21).

32 AD (Jerusalem):

Afterwards, when Ananias and Sapphira held back part of the money they had dedicated from a land sale, Peter the Jew confronted Ananias about it, and Ananias fell over dead (Acts 5:1-6). Three hours later, he confronted Sapphira, and she also fell over dead (Acts 5:7-10).

Then many signs and wonders confirmed the preaching of the Twelve, so that people brought the sick out into the street, so that they might be healed when the shadow of Peter the Jew passed over them as well as multitudes that came from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, where the Twelve healed every sick person and cast out the Spirits of Lies that possessed those brought to them (Acts 5:11-16).

When the High Priest asked why the Twelve were still preaching about the Man of Truth in the Temple, when they had been commanded by him to no longer do so, Peter the Jew again told them that would obey the Father of Truth instead of them, and preached that they needed to repent for killing the Messiah of Israel, whom the Father of Truth had raised from the dead (Acts 5:27-32).

So, Peter the Jew finally began to act like the immovable rock of Petra that the Man of Truth would build his church upon after he was baptized in the Spirit of Truth. Did he continue to do so?

33 AD (Israel):

When Peter the Jew and John the Jew came to Samaria from Jerusalem to baptize the new believers in the Spirit of Truth, Simon the Samaritan offered them money for the ability to baptize people in the Spirit of Truth by laying hands on them (Acts 8:14-19). Peter the Jew then rebuked him for his wickedness and told him that he needed to repent, so Simon the Samaritan asked Peter the Jew to pray for him to be forgiven (Acts 8:20-24).

37 AD (Israel):

When Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) fled from Damascus to Jerusalem, he stayed with Peter the Jew for fifteen days, but saw none of the other Apostles of Truth, except for James the son of Mary (James the brother of Jesus aka The Apostle James), before leaving Israel (Galatians 1:17-19).

Afterwards, Peter the Jew left Jerusalem and went throughout Israel to strengthen the congregations, when he found a man named Aeneas at Lydda, who had been bedridden with the palsy for eight years (Acts 9:31-33). Then Peter the Jew told Aeneas to arise because the Man of Truth was making him whole, and the man arose, which caused the people around Lydda and Saron (Sharon) to come into the House of Truth (Acts 9:34-35).

During the days when Peter the Jew was in Lydda, a charitable woman in Joppa named Dorcas died, so they sent for Peter the Jew to come to Joppa, because it was not far away (Acts 9:36-38).

When Peter the Jew arrived at Joppa, they showed him all of the clothes that Dorcas had made for the poor (Acts 9:39). Peter the Jew then raised Dorcas from the dead, causing many in Joppa to come into the House of Truth, so he remained in Joppa with Simon the tanner (Acts 9:40-43).

Not far away in Caesarea, Cornelius the Gentile, a Centurion, was praying to the Father of Truth when an Angel of Truth appeared to him and told him to send for Peter the Jew, who was staying in Joppa with Simon the tanner (Acts 10:1-6). When the three Gentiles sent by Cornelius the Gentile got near to the Joppa, Peter the Jew was praying on the rooftop of the house of Simon the tanner, became hungry, and fell into a trance (Acts 10:7-10).

While in the trance, Peter the Jew saw a great sheet containing unclean animals lowered from Heaven and heard a voice commanding him to eat some of them (Acts 10:11-13). Peter the Jew said that he would not eat anything unclean, but the voice told him to not call unclean what the Father of Truth had called clean (Acts 10:14-15). This was done two more times, then the sheet was taken back up to Heaven and Peter the Jew was left wondering what the vision was really about when the three Gentiles arrived (Acts 10:16-17).

The three Gentiles asked for Peter the Jew and the Spirit of Truth told him to go with them - while he was still trying to understand the vision (Acts 10:18-20). So, Peter the Jew went down, asked the three Gentiles what he could do for them, and they told him about the instructions that the Angel of Truth had given to Cornelius the Gentile (Acts 10:21-22).

So, the next day Peter the Jew went with the three Gentiles to Caesarea, where Cornelius the Gentile was waiting for them with his friends and family (Acts 10:23-24).

When they arrived, Cornelius the Gentile bowed down to worship Peter the Jew (Acts 10:25). Peter the Jew told him to not worship him for he was a mere man, - then Peter the Jew suddenly understood that the vision had nothing to do with food, but God was showing him not to call any person unclean - so he asked Cornelius the Gentile what he could do for him (Acts 10:26-29).

Cornelius the Gentile told him that an Angel of Truth told him to send for Peter the Jew to come to speak the words of the Father of Truth and they were ready to hear the message (Acts 10:30-33).

Peter the Jew then told the group assembled by Cornelius the Gentile that he now understood that the Father of Truth had never chosen people based on their ancestry, but upon their willingness to walk in His ways, so Peter the Jew proceed to tell them about what the Man of Truth did to make forgiveness available to anyone who would put their trust in him (Acts 10:34-43).

Before Peter the Jew could finish his sermon, those assembled by Cornelius the Gentile were baptized in the Spirit of Truth to the astonishment of the Jewish Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) who had come with Peter the Jew (Acts 10:44-45). So, Peter the Jew commanded that these new Gentile Children of Truth to be baptized in water, since they were speaking in tongues, and then he stayed with them for a few days (Acts 10:46-48).

When Peter the Jew returned to Jerusalem, some of the Jewish Children of Truth contended with him for eating with the uncircumcised Children of Truth (Acts 11:1-3).

So, Peter the Jew told them about the vision of unclean animals and how he obeyed when the Spirit of Truth told him to go to the house of Cornelius the Gentile (Acts 11:4-12). He told them about how these uncircumcised Gentiles were baptized in the Spirit of Truth when he told them about the Man of Truth, so the Jewish Children of Truth in Jerusalem conceded that uncircumcised Gentiles were able to come into the House of Truth (Acts 11:13-18).

Peter the Jew was used to bring the baptism of the Spirit of Truth to the Samaritans and the Good News to the Gentiles. However, he still had to be shown three times before doing what the Father of Truth wanted, the Father of Truth had to tell him the vision meant, and it took another miracle to convince him that he had really understood the Father of Truth correctly.

So, Peter the Jew did not consistently act like the immovable rock of Petra that the Man of Truth would build his church upon after he was baptized in the Spirit of Truth. Did he do so after this?

44 AD (Jerusalem):

When King Herod Antipas began persecuting the Children of Truth, he arrested Peter the Jew and intended to kill him before the people of Israel after Passover (mistranslated as Easter), but the Children of Truth were praying for Peter the Jew (Acts 12:1-5).

While Peter the Jew was sleeping, an Angel of Truth came, released him from his chains, and led him out of the prison, but Peter the Jew thought that he was dreaming (Acts 12:6-10). When Peter the Jew realized that he was not dreaming, but actually out of prison, he went to the house where many people were gathered in prayer for him (Acts 12:11-12).

As Peter the Jew was knocking on the door of the house, a young girl heard his voice and got so excited she went to tell everyone but forgot to unlock the door (Acts 12:13-14). However, no one in the house believed that Peter the Jew was at the house, until they heard him knocking and saw him for themselves to their astonishment when they opened the door (Acts 12:15-16).

Peter the Jew signaled for them to keep quiet, told them how he had been delivered, then told them to tell the others and then went into hiding (Acts 12:17).

The next morning the soldiers were panicked and confused that they could not find Peter the Jew (Acts 12:18).

When King Herod learned of the escape of Peter the Jew, he had the soldiers killed, and then went to Caesarea, where he was killed by an Angel of Truth, resulting in more people coming into the House of Truth (Acts 12:19-24).

48 AD (Jerusalem):

When the remaining Original Apostles of Truth and the elders met to discuss whether or not Gentiles had to be circumcised and keep other culture customs of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) to come into the House of Truth, Peter the Jew rose up to remind them that when he preached to the Gentiles, the Father of Truth had given them the Spirit of Truth even though they had not been circumcised (Acts 15:4-11).

After Paul the Jew told about the Gentiles coming into the House of Truth, James the son of Mary stated that the writings of the Prophets of Truth agreed with the testimony of Peter the Jew that Gentiles would come into the House of Truth without needing to be circumcised or keep other culture customs of the Law of Truth, but that they only needed to avoid certain cultural customs that came from idolatry (Acts 15:12-21).

Then Peter the Jew, James the son of Mary, and John the Jew, the Three Pillars of the church, confirmed that Paul the Jew had been preaching the same Gospel that they had been preaching, and that Peter the Jew would lead the effort to bring the Good News to the Jews, while Paul the Jew would lead the effort to bring the Good News to the Gentiles and have the Gentile Children of Truth help the poor persecuted Jewish Children of Truth in Israel (Galatians 2:6-10).

48 AD (Antioch):

Shortly after that, Peter the Jew went to Antioch, but stopped eating with the Gentile Children of Truth there after Jewish Children of Truth sent by James the son of Mary arrived from Jerusalem, and even got Barnabas the Jew to do the same thing (Galatians 2:11-13). So, Paul the Jew rebuked him in front of everyone for his hypocrisy of teaching that the Gentiles were able to come into the House of Truth without first becoming Jews through circumcision and then treating them like they were not fit to eat with as the Rabbis taught (Galatians 2:14-16).

Peter the Jew stood up for the Gentile Children of Truth in Jerusalem to keep them from coming under the bondage of the Rabbis, but then continued in the teachings of the Rabbis by not eating with the Gentile Children of Truth in Antioch. He seemed to be swayed by which group of Jewish Children of Truth he was around at the time.

So, Peter the Jew was not as stable as the immovable rock of Petra that the Man of Truth would build his church upon after he was used to prove that the Gentiles could into the House of Truth without adopting Jewish culture. Did he do so after this?

53 AD (Galatia):

The churches in Galatia met Peter the Jew when he came with Paul the Jew to lead the effort to bring the Good News to the Jews there (1 Peter 1:1).

So the congregations that Paul the Jew, the chief Apostle of Truth to the Gentiles, started in southern Galatia had met Peter the Jew, the chief Apostle of Truth to the Jews, before Paul the Jew wrote about him in his letter to them in 54 AD (Galatians 2:7-8).

53 AD (Asia):

Peter the Jew came with Paul the Jew to Asia to lead the effort to bring the Good News to the Jews there (1 Peter 1:1).

53 AD (Corinth):

The congregation in Corinth met Peter the Jew when he came ahead of Paul the Jew to lead the effort to bring the Good News to the many Jews there, before Paul the Jew wrote to them to not be divided over Peter the Jew in his letter in 56 AD, which promised his own return to Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:11-12).

Peter the Jew brought his wife with him to Corinth and exercised his right to be supported by the church there, unlike Paul the Jew (1 Corinthians 9:5-6).

While he was there, Peter the Jew met Silas the Jew (Silvanus aka The Apostle Silas) (1 Peter 5:12).

54 AD (Corinth):

Peter the Jew and his wife now had the support they needed to begin his mission to bring the Gospel for the first time to where one-third of the Jews in the world lived (1 Corinthians 3:21-23).

Silas the Jew agreed to join Peter the Jew on his mission (1 Peter 5:12).

54 AD (Asia):

Peter the Jew returned to Asia to continue the effort to bring the Good News to the Jews there and build up more support for his mission to bring the Gospel for the first time to where one-third of the Jews in the world lived (1 Peter 1:1). Silas the Jew partnered with Peter the Jew on his mission (1 Peter 5:12).

54 AD (Pontus):

Peter the Jew began his mission to bring the Gospel for the first time to where one-third of the Jews in the world lived by establishing congregations (1 Peter 1:1). Silas the Jew partnered with Peter the Jew on his mission (1 Peter 5:12).

54 AD (Galatia):

Peter the Jew continued his mission to bring the Gospel for the first time to where one-third of the Jews in the world lived, by establishing congregations in the northern half of Galatia like Paul the Jew had done in the southern half (1 Peter 1:1). Silas the Jew partnered with Peter the Jew on his mission (1 Peter 5:12).

55 AD (Cappadocia):

Peter the Jew continued his mission to bring the Gospel for the first time to where one-third of the Jews in the world lived by establishing congregations (1 Peter 1:1). Silas the Jew partnered with Peter the Jew on his mission (1 Peter 5:12).

55 AD (Cyprus):

Peter the Jew and Silas the Jew went to ask Mark the Jew (Marcus aka the Apostle Mark) to join them on his mission to bring the Gospel for the first time to where one-third of the Jews in the world lived, who joined them (1 Peter 5:12-13).

55 AD (Asia):

Peter the Jew continued his mission to bring the Gospel for the first time to where one-third of the Jews in the world lived, by establishing congregations in cities of Asia with large Jewish populations where Paul the Jew had not yet do so, that included Smyrna, Thyatira, Sardis, and Philadelphia, with the help of Paul the Jew (1 Peter 1:1).
