"R. Jacob Tam also expressed his belief that Peter (Simon Caiaphas), the first Pope, was a devout and learned Jew, who dedicated his life to guiding Christians along the proper path. R. Tam further maintained that Peter was the author of the Nishmat prayer recited on Sabbaths and Festivals, as well as a prayer for Yom Kippur (Mahzor Vitry, edited by S.Hurwitz, 1923, p.285 note 5 and p. 362 note 5. CF. J. Eisenstein's articles on Simon Caiaphas in Otzar Israel and Otzar Midrashim). It may also be noted that R. Judah He-Hasid, leader of the twelfth century Hasidei Ashkenaz in Germany, also referred to Peter as a Pious man ("zaddik"; Sefer Hasidim, no. 191)."^[1]

The Toledoth Y.S.W also praises Peter as a greatly learned and pious man dedicated to saving Israelites from heresy and guiding gentile followers of displacement theology into Noahism. Peter's mission to the Hellenes was headed by Gamaliel's Benjaminite Kharar student Saul of Tarsus whose efforts in Peter's direction were complimented by R. Jacob Emden in the Seder Olam Rabbah Vezuta.

The Petrine Nizariun

Children of Noah who are observing the Sab ul-Mathaani as ethical standards are called Chochmei Umot Ha Olam. Gerei Toshavim are only those observing the Sab ul-Mathaani because it is their religion to do so. Only such are called Chassidei Umot Ha Olam and guaraunteed a place in the world to come. Wherever they are, Children of Noah who observe the Sab ul Mathaani because it is their religion to do so, they are called Gerei Toshavim. In the Kingdom of Israel under the Jubilee, observant Noahites are to be interviewed to determin official Toshav entitlement while the Children of Noah who break the Sab ul-Mathaani after 12 months there will only be decapitated (rather than stoned as Jews and official Gerim will be for the same offence) to save the world from flooding again.

Establishing themselves with hordes from the east in those parts of central Europe outside of the Byzantine influence, and claiming descent from The House of Imran, the Desposyni of Ana and her brother Zechariah's Zadokite Kohen family, the original central European "blue bloods" appointed by Charlemagne, considered themselves to have a divine right as the true Koenigs of Christendom. They regarded the Chrurch Clerics as the meagisterium upon which the law and order of their states would be established.

Originally descendants of Phineas from Cana, after Paul, Luke & Peter converted Theophilus ben Ananus (who awarded the Petrines in Antioch the throne of Caiaphas) they moved their base to Jerusalem until the fulfilment of Jesse's prophesey in 135AD, the Petrine Kohens then relocated to Urfa (Edessa) where they remained until Miso-Judaic persecutions reached a peak in 345AD. It is thought that if not descendants of the Kenites assimilated into Judah by King David (as DNA evidence connecting them to the Druze people of Jethro/Shuaib suggests), the Kna Jews of Kerala may descended from a sect which then moved to Sheba and Havilah. There is currently discussion as to whether or not Muhammad Abu Qasim's saintly (Hanifa) family were descendants of such Kohens or not. Although Hanif has the meaning of the one who has triumphed. Syrian & Hebrew writers came to refer to any group claiming to be Hunafa (like for example Mani's Hanputa) as heretical.

In Europe they eventually came to maintain close cultural ties with the Fatimids whom they also regarded tentatively as Nizariun but viewed the legacy of early Byzantine influences in the Church as anti-Christian and continually sought to reform the mistakes made by Pope Sylvester in the early years of the 4th century AD. In the latter half of the 11th century, having succeeded in influencing the initiation of a reform in the western Church, they initiated the crusades to stem the spread of unpetrine influence in the Holy Lands. There was an historical friction between Levi's "blue-bloods" and Judah's House of David, since the former promoted the idea that the prophesies concerning the House of David had been fulfilled in a spiritual sense, while the latter have always continued to expect a more literal fulfilment. Despite this friction, a great deal of respect existed between the two communities, and Rashi's Tosafist school in particular was accepted as generally authoritative with regards to explaining the Scriptures and maintaining accurate records concerning Petrine tradition.

Among Petrines, the Quran is recognisable as a decisive manifestation of the othrwise ethereal Petrine Lectionary appearing in a strike against the spread of Mandaism in particular but also various other dark-age dogmas among Arabic pagans. Similarly, many of the early "Gnostic" documents, like the coptic letter of Peter to Philip, could be better understood as attempts written in Gnostic terms to bring the fore-runners of the Mandaeans back to the straight path.

The Abbeys represent the Petrine Magisterium, while the Noble houses with their heraldry and maintaining the chivalric Nomos represent the descendants of the 36 pairs of Alenzar/Hawariun in 12 apostolic tribal sees (Levi replacing Dan) sent out to the 70 nations of the world promoting the doctrine of accommodation (which was eventually adopted in the 7th century by Pope Gregory the Great) and appointed bishops from these families over the Abbeys in their realms. Only the House of Imran wearing Ephods as crowns were ever regarded as the rightful Koenigs among them.

After the crusades, their warrior monk orders tended to call their Abbots "Grand magister" and survived as the Noahite Prussian Knights of Malbork and in Cluj Napoca (Transylvania) for a few centuries prior to secularisation.

The House of Imran were a Zadokite priesthood followed by Daniel's Mede Magisterium opposed by the Sadduccee pseudo-Zadokite priesthood and forced through the Torah literalism of the Temple system to side with Beth Shammai though longing for a sign from heaven to validate the stance of Beth Hillel. Petrines believe the life and prophecies of Jesse ben Marym (whom they regard as a messiah) was the sign which nullified the legality of the 18 ordinances of the house of Shammai (Yerushalmi Berakhot, 1:7). They are counter-missionary dedicated to stemming the spread of the minnuth of the Notzrim.

Petrines accept people as petists of the world's nations even if not living in the land of Israel under the Jubilee, but only through vows before ordination authorities estblished by apostolic successors.

They permit Noahites to petition in the name of saints and the trinity while not doing so themselves.

Their apocalyptic קינן based messianism is based around Psalm 110 & Ezekiel 39, and they were vehemently opposed to gentile judaizers whose new moons and feasts petrines believed were abhorrent to true Jews. In accordance with Rashi's teachings, Petrines observe the Sabbath, but their Noahites observe the first day of the week instead of the seventh, Firstfruits instead of the Passover, the Ascension into Heaven instead of Lag B'Omer, taking up the yoke instead of Rosh hashana, Jesse's Circumcision instead of Yom Kippur, Noel instead of Chanukah, and Haj instead of Purim. Except for their khararim (igors), their Noahites are indifferent with regard to circumcision and follow the dietary laws prescribed in the Quran. Also they follow the teaching of non-violent confrontation and the meek acceptance of suffering.

While respecting Ezra, they distinguish themselves sharply from those who call Ezra the son of the divine.

Some argue that Abu Qasim and his Saintly (Hanifa) ancestors were the Kohens for Arabia, but Tontheon knows best.

Most of the Petrine House of Imran have lapsed in Torah observance and maintaining Kohen and Israelite marriage laws. This has led to several different sects among them. However, the remaining Petrines who follow only the Torah faithful House of Imran and maintain faith in the Petrine Lectionary are united in spirit and tosafist approach even if individually isolated.
