Simple english doesn't work there RomeSweetHome for what you want it to say. The church is built upon Christ not Peter!
Quit going to the bible to back up what you have been taught and let the bible speak for itself.
As a matter of fact I would pray for this gift if I was you! Just be prepared for the answer that the Lord will give you and accept the answer!
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
