Dear Catholic Productions and Dr. Pitre... A dream of mine would be that one day you all compile all these videos into an order such that you could have one repository of just about every single Bible verse in order. In a way a video compilation entire Bible study. It would be interesting to know how much of the entirety of Scripture you have covered in these videos. It would be so cool to have the Bible online, then for each passage there is a link to these videos! Wow, that would solidify your legacy Dr. Pitre!!! Thank you for helping me as a Catechist instructor and home school group catechist over the years. Your information has brought such life and depth to our lessons! May God continue to bless you.

For more complete and definitive information please check out Lion and Lamb Ministries. Jesus the Christ and His 12 apostles were born Jews, studied and practiced their religion and holidays, etc. in the temple, honored the sabbath, followed and honored the commandments passed down thru Moses --- the covenant from God. And they all died martyrs except for one. When did the Catholic and other religions replace the Messiah... I did not understand the message you were trying to say. I apologize.

Peter and his brother Andrew were fishing while Jesus was walking along the Sea of Galilee. The Gospel accounts show that Jesus caught sight of these men first so that’s why Peter is usually listed first.

The other apostles never viewed Peter as having primacy over there. Luke 22:24-26 is proof of that when the apostles were in a dispute. If Peter were the “rock, ” would there have been any question as to which one of them was the “greatest?” Another case is at Acts 15 when the issue of circumcision arose. James presided over this meeting, not Peter! He even concludes the proceedings by saying: “MY decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God.” (Acts 15:19) Would James have been able to speak of “His Decision” if Peter, who was present, held the primacy among the apostles?
