I'm not sure why this was put under"New Testament" since it was a light-hearted look at the way that human beings tend to rise to their level of incompetence. Formulated by Peter (!) and Hull (1969). Now, why is that anything to do with The Bible?

Who were four writers of the General Epistles?

James, John, Jude, Peter


Where did Peter say he was not worthy to die like Jesus?

A:The circumstances of Peter's death are unknown:Paul wrote about Peter, who seemed to Paul to be one of the pillars of the church in Jerusalem, but does not mention his death.Acts of the Apostles, written long after Peter's death, mentions many events in Peter's life, but not how or where he died.Around 96 CE, Clement of Rome, possibly the first overall leader of the Christian congregations in Rome but not yet a bishop, wrote briefly about Peter in his epistle, 1 Clement, but seems to have been unaware of where Peter travelled or how he died.Later in the second century, Anicetus, the bishop of Rome, stated that Peter had come to Rome to lead the congregations there, and was beheaded on the orders of Nero. This tradition henceforth made Anicetus and future bishops of Rome the successors of Peter.A century after Anicetus, Origen changed this to say that Peter was sentenced to crucifixion but, feeling unworthy of being crucified like Jesus, asked to be crucified upside down.It is therefore in Rome that Peter would have stated that he was unworthy to die like Jesus, on the word of the third-century Church Father, Origen.


Why was Apostle Mark's mentor Peter?

The Church Fathers noticed that 2 Peter 5:13 has Peter refer to Mark as "my son." Unaware that Second Peter is a pseudepigraphical epistle, they assumed this either meant that Mark was indeed the son of Peter or at least that Peter held Mark in high esteem. A tradition subsequently arose that Mark wrote the second gospel based on the memoirs of Peter, although another early tradition was that Mark's Gospel was written as a summary of Matthew's Gospel (the evidence is that Mark's Gospel was actually written before Matthew).Because we now know that 2 Peter was written long after the death of Peter, it can no longer be considered as evidence that Mark even knew Peter. Mark's Gospel was written before Matthew).


What denomination did apostle Peter start?

A:Paul mentions Peter in his epistles as a pillar of the church in Jerusalem, but there is no suggestion in Paul's writings that Peter founded this church or any other denomination.The second-century Pope Anicetus, wishing to demonstrate that he spoke with the authority of Peter, reported that Peter had travelled to Rome to lead the congregation there, and had been beheaded in Rome. A century later, Origen changed this to say that Peter was sentenced to crucifixion but, feeling unworthy of being crucified like Jesus, asked to be crucified upside down. Taken literally, this made Peter the first real leader of the Christians in Rome and thus the predecessor of the Catholic pope. However, Clement of Rome, thought to be a predecessor of Anicetus, wrote about Peter in 1 Clement, but does not appear to have known that Peter ever visited Rome.
