Click on time markers to navigate this video. 1-55 - Program begins with Dr. James White - https---www.aomin.org- - speaking about whether or not Peter was the first pope. He opposes the easily refuted Roman Catholic claims which depend on people being ignorant of the past. Error -1 - Anachronistic Interpretation. Error -2 - Peter Syndrome. Error -3 - Ignoring the Broad Context. --5-46 - -Rome has Spoken the Case is Closed- cited by Roman Catholic Apologists concerning Augustine falsely. Dr. White addresses two major topics- 1- The Patristic interpretation of the key passages upon which the papacy claims are founded. 2- A sampling of the large body of evidence that demonstrates that the early Church did not view Peter as the Vicar of Christ in the faulty Roman understanding in regard to Matthew Chapter 16.--7-02 - Pope Zosimus -18 March 417 to his death on 26 December 418- first sided with the Pelagian heretics - declared them innocent by decree but later changed his mind after much controversy.--8-38 - -Peter Has Spoken Through Leo- speaking of Pope Leo the Great -29 September 440 until 10 November 461- who had written the -Tome of Leo,- a confusing document which was a major foundation to the debates of the Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon making many think Leo was a heretical Nestorian. --11-50 - Analysis of Matthew chapter 16. The understanding of Matthew 16 has a wide range of interpretation from the Patristic Fathers showing no common unity to establish that Peter was the first Pope. Dr. White points out the evolution of the Roman position from the 5th century to the 19th. He argues the true Vicar of Christ is The Holy Spirit.
