• 17:5117:51, 18 September 2024 diff hist −385 Primacy of Peter Deleted two sentences. There is no evidence in the Acts text for this opinion. Peter spoke in an agitated way, and James more calmly, but there is no evidence that << He acquiesces to what St. Peter had said>> much less <<although it seems to have been against his personal inclinations>> On the contrary, James points to Peter's testimony and supports it with Scripture. It's also worth noting that James then speaks with forceful authority: "Therefore, I myself judge that..." (διὸ ἐγὼ κρίνω) Tag: Visual edit
• 17:4217:42, 18 September 2024 diff hist −173 Primacy of Peter ἀκούw does not indicate "this is only my opinion." It is the usual verb for "to hear, to listen." Jesus uses it every time he says "He who has ears to hear, ἀκούσατέ" ( Matthew 11:15). He says this with authority, and not as a mere opinion. Tag: Visual edit
• 17:3417:34, 18 September 2024 diff hist −327 Primacy of Peter Inaccurate translation; it does not indicate authority. I looked up all uses of ἐξηγεομαι in the LXX, Apocrypha, and NT. There are 14. Almost all involve a person relating a dream, a story, or information (Judges 7:13, 2 Kings 8:5, Luke 24:35 etc). It is even used in this very passage, about Paul and Barnabas; they "related (ἐξηγουμένων) what signs and wonders..." Tag: Visual edit

• 17:0017:00, 18 September 2024 diff hist +780 Primacy of Peter Deleted Catholic claims that don't belong in a description of Orthodox theology. Replaced with a citation from an ancient text that represents the Orthodox view. Tag: Visual edit
• 16:3816:38, 18 September 2024 diff hist +673 m Primacy of Peter Replaced a heading that claimed "Many" Orthodox accept Primacy. Tag: Visual edit

• 14:5514:55, 18 September 2024 diff hist −108 m Primacy of Peter This unattested statement is vague and incompatible in style with the scholarly paragraph. Tag: Visual edit

• 18:3418:34, 17 September 2024 diff hist +1 m Papal primacy The paragraph was garbled and I tried to express more clearly what it was trying to say. Tag: Visual edit
• 18:0218:02, 17 September 2024 diff hist +9 m Papal primacy The original made reference to an "interpretation," but it is simply and straightforwardly something Jesus did. It doesn't require interpretation. Tag: Visual edit
• 17:5717:57, 17 September 2024 diff hist +4 m Papal primacy Changed semi-colon to colon, added "and." Tag: Visual edit
• 17:5617:56, 17 September 2024 diff hist −35 m Papal primacy Deleted "However." Deleted "it is claimed," which reveals opposition to the Orthodox view. / Forgive me, but I forgot to say, in the preceding paragraph, that I deleted the statement that "Many" EO theologians believe Peter, not Peter's faith, is "the rock." I have the book and looked up what Veselin Kesich wrote on p 48. He does hold that opinion, but this is a sole witness for a minority opinion. Tag: Visual edit
• 17:4717:47, 17 September 2024 diff hist +23 m Papal primacy I changed "keys of the kingdom" to the power to "bind and loose," because that is what St. Matthew 18:18 says. I would also delete the repeated "it is argued" and "it is claimed" in favor of simple statements and quotations of the perspective. Tag: Visual edit
• 17:3217:32, 17 September 2024 diff hist −22 m Papal primacy I translated "primus inter pares" into English and gave an example. Tag: Visual edit
• 15:4715:47, 17 September 2024 diff hist +88 Papal primacy The text implied that "some Eastern Orthodox theologians view primacy as authoritative power." I have the book and looked up page 165, and substituted the quote from Schmemann. Tag: Visual edit
• 15:1815:18, 17 September 2024 diff hist +49 m Papal primacy The text stated that some Eastern Orthodox theologians "view primacy as authoritative power." That is unclear; EO theologians do not ascribe this kind of power to the pope. I looked up the footnote's passage and substituted an actual quote. Tag: Visual edit
