Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that Peter was appointed by Jesus over the church as its first pope. The author supports this claim with thorough scriptural analysis. The study confirms that Christ chose the name 'Peter,' meaning 'rock,' to symbolize the unyielding foundation of the church. The author traces how the church's enemies attempted to undermine this authority but failed. This book explores the church's divine right to its authority in both the spiritual and temporal realms, including its right to legislate, judge, and punish. The author also notes that the church's authority is independent of the state and limited only by its purpose to edify, not to destroy. The work concludes with an exploration of the limits of church authority, which the author argues should never coerce anyone into the faith, as this goes against scripture.
