>the trinity is not heretical. anyone reading the bible knows that the holy spirit and logos(christ) are part of the trinity and are God.
Untrue.
the Encyclopædia Britannica states: “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.”
In fact, the God of the Bible is never described as being part of a Trinity. Note these Bible passages:
“Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”—Deuteronomy 6:4.
“You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”—Psalm 83:18.
“God is only one.”—Galatians 3:20.
>Artistic representation of christ can vary. that isn't doctrine.
It is unlikely that Jesus’ hair was long, because the Bible says that “long hair is a dishonor to a man.”—1 Corinthians 11:14.
>wrong the discourse about the keys and unfailing faith has to do with Peter being given authority to govern and lead the church. and the scripture mentions bishops who have apostolic succession.
nowhere in Scripture did Jesus, the apostles, or any other NT writer set forth the idea of “apostolic succession.”
Further, neither is Peter presented as “supreme” over the other apostles. The apostle Paul, in fact, rebukes Peter when Peter was leading others astray (Galatians 2:11-14)
Yes, the apostle Peter had a prominent role, but so did the others like the apostle Paul and Jesus’ brother James
Whatever the case, Peter was not the “commander” or supreme authority over the other apostles
Even if apostolic succession could be demonstrated from Scripture (which it cannot lol), apostolic succession would not result in Peter’s successors being absolutely supreme over the other apostles’ successors.
