You say you do not support the RCC. Does that make you a heretic too? Or just a hypocrite? Perhaps both.If Jesus did give Peter the keys and his authority has been passed down then you are a heretic for not following those rulers.

You're lying again.Doesn't look like it. They believe unbelieving people will be convinced of God's
authority by showing them hidden codes in the Bible, which is what this thread
was made to be about. Whereas nothing in the Bible speaks of this. Does the RCC?
I don't think so. They (OP) seem to be doing it of their own authority! LOL
So they are saying, we are to follow RCC authority, while they themselves do not.
I've provided plenty of proof in the last few pages.How about you prove that they ARE, other than your mis-understanding of scripture.
Scripture tells us we are ALL members of a royal priesthood, which means we are under NO authority of any "priest".
Depending if they actually have authority or not. That's what I'm trying to find out. You could keep being annoying or you could help.You say you do not support the RCC. Does that make you a heretic too? Or just a hypocrite?
You go on and on about Jesus having given the keys of the kingdom to Peter and nobody else,You're lying again.
I said if their authority is legitimate then we must follow it.
You still don’t understand that the keys have absolutely nothing to do with the devil or judgement of sin—the keys are all about SALVATION and admittance into the kingdom of HEAVEN; that’s what the “binding“ and “loosing” is about. Look it up; you’ll see.If you think you can forgive sins against God, you are greatly mistaken.
She, and a multitude of others, have shown that your premise is wrong. Why don't you receive it?Depending if they actually have authority or not. That's what I'm trying to find out. You could keep being annoying or you could help.
I doubt Paul wrote Romans 13:1 without having context in mind.What about Dietrich Bonhoeffer? Hitler was the “authority”, should he have resisted or let him get on with killing Jews?
Then why did Jesus only give Peter the keys? Other disciples had the power to heal and perform miracles, but only Peter was given the keys.You st don’t understand that the keys have absolutely nothing to do with the devil or judgement of sin—the keys are all about SALVATION and admittance into the kingdom of HEAVEN; that’s what the “binding“ and “loosing” is about.

Because she provided 0 evidence to support her case.She, and a multitude of others, have shown that your premise is wrong. Why don't you receive it?
Who was the source of Paul's authority?Then why did Jesus only give Peter the keys? Other disciples had the power to heal and perform miracles, but only Peter was given the keys.
You realize there are synonyms for the word legitimate?You go on and on about Jesus having given the keys of the kingdom to Peter and nobody else,
and claim there is succession from Peter to the popes etc etc. When I do a search for the word
legitimate in your post stream it only shows up once, in the post to which I am now responding.
You argue at cross purposes to yourself. How confused are you, really? .![]()
and the GREEK Matthew is the ...as best he could translate, Version!
yay, for second best!
doesn't sound like God at all, to me![]()
Why don't you just say what you mean?You realize there are synonyms for the word legitimate?

Every one of your rebuttals have been answered by someone. You began a thread seeking understanding. Why not receive it?Because she provided 0 evidence to support her case.
You think people remember the exact words they posted pages ago? Stop being so clingy, you're not doing ANYTHING to contribute to this discussion.Why don't you just say what you mean?
That doesn't answer the question why only Peter was given the keys.Maybe because the true Church built upon the Rock was just getting started. And Peter (little rock) understood who Jesus was. This certainly was not the end of God’s plan.
Yes, it does. But, listen…How do you know that no one else was given the keys?That doesn't answer the question why only Peter was given the keys.
