I said that Catholics believe that, not that I believe that.
but Peter is what made the church of Rome important.
Non-answer.
Another non-answer. Since you gave an irrelevant response, I'll assume that you realize that you were being emphatic and are too proud to admit to it.
Supporting evidence logically does matter. Irrelevant material doesn't support anything at all.
Again, you assert agreement and then equate what I said to a position with which I have repeatedly disagreed in this thread. That's dishonest and deceitful. Please stop doing it.
I should qualify that it is most appropriate for where we have parallel accounts (such as the Gospels in the NT and Kings/Chronicles in the OT). I admit that Adam and Eve are only mentioned in the first part of Genesis in the OT; on the other hand, I don't know off-hand where else in the OT they would be relevant.
On the other hand, Peter's alleged primacy is murky at best
There is no grumbling from the other apostles that Peter was chosen over them.
In fact, Paul treats James, Peter, and John equally as 'pillars' (Gal 2:9) - and as has already been mentioned
Paul showed no compunction about rebuking Peter to his face.
You're the one attempting to make your case. I've already explained in general why I think the comparisons are inapt.
Er, no. You made three assertions, two of which I disagree with. (In case you're uncertain, I agree that the Pope is not Jesus.)
The Jewish expulsion from Rome happened well before Peter ever got there (AD 49, IIRC). Priscilla and Aquila, whom we know from scripture were among those expelled (Acts 18:2), were back in Rome by the time Paul wrote his epistle to the Romans (Rom 16:3); Paul, meanwhile, inexplicably neglects to address the putative bishop of the church he's writing to.
Paul, meanwhile, inexplicably neglects to address the putative bishop of the church he's writing to. On the other hand, in Acts 28 (c. AD 62), the Jews of Rome came to Paul to get the low-down on this Jesus sect. Was the 'apostle to the Jews' so unconscionably lax that he had not yet preached the gospel to them for at least his first 13 years there?

If you can't do better than the tripe you posted here regarding the correspondence of Pope Gregory the Great, don't bother.
"Knew and just didn't care"? lawl.
...except that they're not.
I'm not sure that I would call Israel the "Kingdom of God on Earth"; I've never seen that before either.
