I hadn't thought of that.

We know that Paul and Apollos were both there, and that different factions within the congregation had formed under their names. For there to be a Peter faction, it stands to reason that the congregation had been personally familiar with Peter, like we know they had been with Paul and Apollos.ADFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337583912789164893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12543231.post-12504773533358397382010-02-23T17:45:59.479-06:002010-02-23T17:45:59.479-06:00That's a good question, Charles.

Unfortunately, there's not one that I can find.<br /><br />On the other hand, if my theory is right, then Peter was a major reason for what probably ended up as a church split! So, years later when there was a healthy church in Corinth again, we might guess they'd do better to avoid brining up his name there.<br /><br />You have got me wondering, though, what the modern <a href="http://www.korinthos.gr/dimos-church.php" rel="nofollow">Corinthians"</a> might think about this...Bill Heromanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283809456471966882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12543231.post-80306568800559590702010-02-23T07:33:35.579-06:002010-02-23T07:33:35.579-06:00I wonder if there are any ancient churches in Cori...I wonder if there are any ancient churches in Corinth dedicated to Peter. As you know, early Christians had the propensity to build churches in significant locations associated with an apostle. An ancient church dedicated to Peter might be some possible evidence in support of your theory.Charles Savellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481608525537223764noreply@blogger.com
