about Peter being Pope, not sure, but Peter is definited have a
very important role in the early church, to be reputed as the
Apostle to the Jews and also one of the three pillar to the
Church.
Galatians 2:8-10 (NIV)
8For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to
the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the
Gentiles. 9James, Peter and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave
me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized
the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the
Gentiles, and they to the Jews. 10All they asked was that we should
continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to
do.
actually, Peter did affirmed Paul's writtings as being with the
wisdom that God gave him
2 Peter 3:14-16 (NIV)
14So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this,
make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with
him. 15Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just
as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God
gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in
them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are
hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as
they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
