You did use the word cult. It is not the same as Paul rebuking the Galatians. I asked you what it meant. Just because the article used it incorrectly does not make it right for you to do so. So don't pull a Vern and just chose to avoid the question.
Peter was called and set apart to lead the church. That has been doctrine for all of Christianity from the start. If you or some other chose to believe otherwise it won't make it untrue.
If you chose to believe they are all the same person and make Jesus the great magician/ventriloquist than it is your right to do so.
The reformation came about because of the job Catholicism was doing rewriting Christian doctrine. Martin Luther (who refused to start a church of his own because he recognized he lacked authority. It was his brother, after his death, that is responsible.) and others were more than just a little concerned about the changes. Luther posted his concerns and left. It doesn't make sense then that protestants cling to catholic doctrine - like the trinity theory - even today. That is what drove the reformation was the changing of doctrine. The trinity was one of those things that were changed. Jesus did not ever give any indication that he and his father were the same person. Every comment we attribute to Jesus indicates just the opposite. You may believe what you like. You can even pull scripture to support your claims. But on the whole the scripture does not support it.
Unfortunately, with all your talk, you are never able to substantiate with Scripture that says Peter was appointed to take the place of Jesus. Just because the Church "believed" it doesn't make it true (as we have seen over the years), especially when there is nothing in Scripture that says that.
As for the "cult" issue, I am afraid you are still greatly mistaken:
cult
a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
There is no discrepancy in the definition and what was in my reply.
