Summary
Nikolaos Sotiropoulos opens this Montreal lecture with a defense of his ministry amid opposition and excommunication, recounting his condemnation for denouncing alleged blasphemies and heresies concerning Christ, Kazantzakis, Scorsese, and the Papacy, and he frames the present age as a time of many antichrists in which suffering for the Gospel is an honor. Expounding 2 Peter 1:1-2, he presents Peter as the once unlearned fisherman enlightened by the Holy Spirit to become a divinely inspired apostle, and reads his name and confession against papal claims, holding that the Church rests on Christ and on Peter's confession rather than on Peter as an absolute monarch. He teaches obedience to clergy only when they voice God's will (Acts 5:29), and concludes that apostles and ordinary Christians receive the same faith, the same Church, and the same salvation.
