→re: Peter
:[[Paul]] never walked on water, cured people, or recognized immediately and initially that Jesus was the Christ. Paul's [[faith]] was immense, but Peter's faith was unsurpassed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:14, 4 July 2013 (EDT)

::Peter took a few steps on water, doubted, started to sink, was rescued by Jesus who upbraided him for his doubting and having little faith (Matthew 14: 29-31). You can't pick and choose the facts relating to this incident.
::Second, Peter denied Christ three times and then had godly sorrow and repented unlike Judas who merely had regret. Paul never denied Christ once after his conversion.
::Third, nobody in the first century Christendom can match the zeal of all out Paul nor can they match his accomplishments (number of churches planted in cities, writer of more books of the New Testament, etc).
::Fourth, you are incorrect about Paul never being involved in a healing. For example, Paul was involved in the supernatural curing Publius' father of a serious fever on the Island of Malta (I realize that God does the health and Paul was only a vessel that God used).
