1 Peter - kefa alef ?

[brantana]

Toda Raba Paul once again!

Keepa occurs in Acts 13 times, "Petros" occurs only once in Acts - at the very beginning.

So, Luqa does use both Keepa and Petros in the same book ... wow. Thanks for pointing that out, I obviously came across the first instance of Petros and assumed, using Luqa's instance of Petros and Shimon's letters using Petros (based on this message thread) - oops. But if I hadn't have asked the question, based on bad info or not, I would have been left with a wrong assumption. Best to be corrected than believe an untruth.

Along this line of inquiry - Why did Paul use Keepa, instead of Petros, when writing to the churches in Corinth and Galatia?

Any idea, why this back and forth in the names? Since you mentioned this, do you have a theory as to why Paul used "Keepa" in these books ... And of course, why Keepa used Petros in his letters and Luqa used all the above plus Shimon?? <!-- s:eh: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eh.gif" alt=":eh:" title="Eh" /><!-- s:eh: -->

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, this has been an interesting thread.
