Successor of Saint Peter… or successor of the Caesars?

A man bowed down before Peter…
but Peter stopped him:
“Stand up; I too am a man.” (Acts 10:25)

Peter rejected people bowing before him.
He did not accept worship for himself.

Today, those who claim to be the successors of Saint Peter,
extend their hand to have it kissed…
and allow others to bow before them.

That is not continuation.
That is contradiction.

So tell me:
is that the successor of Saint Peter…
or the opposite of Peter, like the emperor Nero?

The Roman emperors were called the Caesars.
The Caesars exalted themselves,
minting coins with their own images.

Today, those who claim to be Peter’s successors
seem more like the successors of the Caesars, since
they also put their image on coins
and receive reverence.

If this is the opposite…
then I have reasons to doubt.

And if that Rome influenced the texts of the Bible,
what guarantees are there that it did not alter the truth?

If Rome stripped peoples of their goods,
does that explain why the Bible says:
“To anyone who takes what is yours, do not demand it back”?

Ministers of God or ministers of the Devil?

The differences between Saint Peter and the Popes.

Daniel 8:23 And at the end of their reign, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king will arise, haughty in countenance and skilled in intrigue.

Daniel 8:24 And his power shall be strong, but not by his own power; and he shall cause great destruction, and shall prosper, and do as he pleases, and shall destroy the mighty men and the holy people.

Daniel 8:25 Through his cunning he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand; and in his heart he will exalt himself, and without warning he will destroy many;

and will rise up against the Prince of princes,

But it will be broken, though not by human hands.
