A.W. Tozer addresses the contradictions surrounding the figure of Peter, highlighting how traditions have distorted the truth about his life and role in the early church. He points out the absurdity of claiming Peter was never married while the Bible mentions his mother-in-law, and questions the legitimacy of Peter's supposed position as the first pope, given Paul's prominence in the early Christian community. Tozer emphasizes that these fabrications serve the interests of certain traditions rather than the authentic history of the church, and he suggests that both Peter and Mary would be bewildered by the exaggerated honors attributed to them by later leaders.

Chuck Smith addresses the reasons behind the desire to destroy Jesus, emphasizing that it stems from a deep-rooted adherence to traditions that contradict God's commandments. He highlights how the Pharisees' envy and fear of losing control led them to plot against Jesus, particularly after He healed on the Sabbath, violating their traditions. Smith draws parallels to modern-day efforts to undermine Jesus and Christianity, pointing out that those who oppose Him often do so out of a love for darkness and a desire to maintain their sinful ways. He challenges listeners to reflect on their own attitudes towards Jesus and the implications of being neutral in their faith.
