Yes - same chapter:

[11] He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant. [12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. [13] But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.


[26] Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean. [27] Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men' s bones, and of all filthiness. [28] So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
thank you. A perfect summing up of the Roman Catholic church

well at least one thing is sure . you cannot find the birth of the Roman Catholic church in the Bible. As a widespread denomination it did not come into existence until 7th century AD or later. There WAS a church in Rome, but it had no authority over other churches. And having received Paul's letter it was soundly based on justification by faith ALONE. It made no extraordinary claims, and according to Paul's letter to the Romans it had no single bishop and knew nothing of Peter being there. Furthermore the genuine letter of Clement of Rome also knew nothing of a single bishop. So how could there be a Pope? LOL
Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I build my church.

Not symbolic only lol

Catholic church has lineage to the Apostles. Does the Protestant church have lineage?

Thats right... nowhere does it state that we Catholics are to worship Mary, never has....never will!!! You may think it implies we do, because this fallacy has been pounded into your head for lord knows how long. I am happy to see you doing your homework and relizing the myth of Catholics worshiping Mary is a bald face lie! Guess I won't be denouncing Catholicism, and joining your church either.
well I never believed you in the first place. Lets see you dodge this one which you have ignored and is almost certainly imprimatur.

    if you knew anything about translation you would know that some words are difficult to translate. That PROVES that it is a genuine translation.

well God repeated it twice,.
And both in the context of worshipping false Gods.

here did Solomon get his ideas from?
The question is where did Jesus get his ideas from since he came later.


The entireity prophesy heralds him as a davidic king - from the annunciation to Mary onwards, for example "riding on a donkey" as Solomon had done. So Jesus CHOSE to associate with davidic kings, and in the case of the donkey Solomon. Indeed the "keys of the kingdom" given to Peter are direct reference back to stewardship of the Davidic kings, the mother of a davidic King was called "queen" and the king gave her a throne and bowed to her, saying he would honour her requests. The mother of kings mentioned numerous times because of the role they had.

Just read the old testament to understand.

It is referring to the giving of the prophecy
Proverbs 3-5 - " trust in the lord, and DO NOT RELY ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING - nothing to do with prophesy, all to do with private understanding.

I said psalms - bad memory - but the scripture is there in proverbs none the less.

In short - the pillar and foundation of truth is the church - and in cutting yourself off from history tradition and the church, with the false doctrine of sola scriptura, you end up with 10000 protestant different belief sets, drifting and fracturing yours just one more on the pile.


As for what you may or may not drag up from websites, Catholic belief is there in the catechism.

Unless phillipines prayers are there , which they are not, they are not catholic doctrine.
Challenge it on what it does believe. There in the catechism.

Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I build my church.
'You are petros and on this petra I will build my church.' If Jesus meant Peter why did He not use the same noun? And why did He say 'on this petra' instead of 'on you'? ANSWER. Because petra was referring to the statement that Peter had made. It is called a play on words. The foundation of the true church of Jesus Christ is 'you are the Christ the Son of the living God.'

That is why Mark and Luke writing about the same incident omit mention of the words to Peter. If they were as important as you try to claim, why would they do that? They did it because they recognised that the important lesson from the passage was the statement YOU ARE THE MESSIAH.

Catholic church has lineage to the Apostles. Does the Protestant church have lineage?
The Roman Catholic church has no lineage before the 7th century AD. The independent Roman church's line of bishops is doubtful prior to 325 AD. Go to Leeds Catholic Cathedral. At least there they are honest. On the wall they have the lineage of bishops and going backwards it stops at 325 AD. They admit that before then nothing is certain.

Even the lineage given by Irenaeus was untrustworthy, as most independent scholars agree. He ASSUMED a sole bishopric when there was none.

The lineage of my church goes back to around 30 AD, that is to the resurrection. Like the early church I am an independent Catholic (UNIVERSAL) Christian belonging to an independent local church

The point, sir, is the RCC catechism is as much outside of the bible as the 'age of accountability', the formation of your church, or your wedding liturgy. Unless, sir, your statements mischaracterize the nature of the catechism.
None of which have any direct bearing on the matter of salvation by grace through faith. One is saved by God exercising His mercy and imputing to us forgiveness of our sins by the atonement supplied through the shed blood of Christ on the cross of Calvary. Received by faith God supplies through the hearing of His word the bible.

I do not care if RCC's all over the globe crawl around on broken glass to demonstrate their sincerity to Mary but if they think or teach that such things bring them closer to God or aid in their salvation then they are sincere but horribly lost and condemned through Gods word.

Oh for goodness sake. We have covered this 100 times. That conversation was in ARAMAIC, as proven by "simon Bar Jonah" - as obvious because it was the working language of common people of the holy land. Only translated into greek for convenience, the distinction for effect not meaning.

In aramaic the gender distinction does not exist, Petra and Petros are the same word! So clearly the same person!
And the location of the conversation above a rock platform in caesarea phillipi on which a pagan temple was built is WHY jesus distinguished his rock, Peter from the rock on which the pagan temple was built

Sola scriptura is your problem. History and tradition is needed to understand what it means. Like for example what language was used! Where they were" the history and so on.

You fall for all the anticatholic arguments, you should look at them first, before associate yourself with illogical bunk, which reflects badly on you not RCC!

Mary has nothing to do with salvation. Another false accusation based on mischaracterizations.

And both in the context of worshipping false Gods.
yes you shall not bow down to ANY IMAGE because ANY IMAGE is a false god. And that includes Mary and the so-called Saints.

The question is where did Jesus get his ideas from since he came later.
From His Father.

The entireity prophesy heralds him as a davidic king
That's strange Jesus said, 'if David calls Him LORD how is He then his son? It is made crystal clear that Jesus is not just another Davidic king.
, for example "riding on a donkey" as Solomon had done.
AS EVERYONE riding into Jerusalem in peace did. It was the natural means of transport. He was following the prophecy of Zechariah 9 not copying Solomon. Besides Jesus DID NOT ride on the king's own mule. You know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.

So Jesus CHOSE to associate with davidic kings, and in the case of the donkey Solomon.
Incorrect as I have shown you. He followed Zechariah's prophecy. Every child knows that. But it seem that the church of Rome does not. 'out of the mouths of babes and sucklings LOL

Indeed the "keys of the kingdom" given to Peter are direct reference back to stewardship of the Davidic kings,
Rubbish. In mind were the keys given to Scribes when they qualified enabling them to 'open the Torah to the people'. Peter was to open the Kingly Rule of God to the Jews and the Gentiles, which is what he did. The reference to loosing and binding was a direct reference to the Scribal ceremony..

the mother of a davidic King was called "queen" and the king gave her a throne and bowed to her, saying he would honour her requests.
Old Testament customs which are not directly referred to in Scripture are irrelevant. I challenge you to produce one Scripture which says that the king bowed down to the queen mother (who was not actually the queen), gave her a throne and bowed to her saying he would grant her every request. you are citing Roman Catholic supposed scholars LOL

The mother of kings mentioned numerous times because of the role they had.
But not the role you stated. Nothing is said about her role anywhere. Or are you thinking of the murderous Athaliah. Granted that the RC church have followed her murderous ways. Are you suggesting Mary did too? She must have if she approved of the RC church.

Just read the old testament to understand.
Don't be patronising. I have written commentaries on it all

Proverbs 3-5 - " trust in the lord, and DO NOT RELY ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING - nothing to do with prophesy, all to do with private understanding.
LOL typical RC misuse of Scripture. The writer is talking about the way in which we walk, we are to walk hand in hand with GOD not the church.

I said psalms - bad memory - but the scripture is there in proverbs none the less.
your carelessness suits your bad interpretation LOL so that is how your infallible church interprets it? It figures.

In short - the pillar and foundation of truth is the church
Is the original church before the New Testament was completed. And that church was composed of all independent churches who submitted to the Apostles. It no longer applied after they were dead. But that was why by then they had the main corpus of the New Testament already seeing Paul's letters as Scripture.


which church was Paul referring to otherwise? the catholic church at Jerusalem (still not in union with the RC church). The Catholic church in Galilee, the home of Jesus' teaching. The Catholic church in Caesarea? The Catholic church in Antioch? The Catholic church in Alexandria? Certainly not the later upstarts in Rome who murdered and persecuted and burned those opposed to them

- and in cutting yourself off from history tradition and the church,
how can I cut myself off from a denomination I never belonged to? I am a member of the true church made up of all true believers. And I have not cut myself off from Scripture. THAT is true history, and the only reliable history.

Do you want me to follow Clement of Alexandria's gnostic theories? LOL

with the false doctrine of sola scriptura,
the false doctrine observed by the whole early church? I am in good company.

you end up with 10000 protestant different belief sets, drifting and fracturing yours just one more on the pile.
but the early church was composed of more that 10,000 independent churches who all looked to the Scriptures for their truth. So again I am in good company. But like them we are all united around the Scriptures.

As for what you may or may not drag up from websites, Catholic belief is there in the catechism.

Unless phillipines prayers are there , which they are not, they are not catholic doctrine.
Challenge it on what it does believe. There in the catechism.
but they ARE RC doctrine. you are blind. I ignore the window dressing and look at the reality.

What part of the word of God condemns do you not understand. John 3:15-21

Perhaps you should visit Mexico and watch them crawl around on broken glass in veneration to Mary before you accuse me.

Yet another red herring I never claimed to be master.

Now the church that Christ founded He founded in Jerusalem not Rome. The apostles were Hebrews not Gentiles as Christ was born in the Hebrew linage.

I have yet to see any of you RCC scholars provide any evidence that the ECF's you revere ever gave a testimony of salvation and the reason for their assurance of such.

Show me something from the bible that I can believe. Don't proof text but let's look at it in context and reveal the truth God has for us.

When you offer condemnation, you make yourself akin to the Master. I don't really care where you think you got your authority.

The poor people in Mexico are afflicted and hoping for a miracle, like at Lourdes or Fatima, and they are hoping Mary's intercessory prayers will be heard. Go ahead and condemn the poor too.

Not only is your exegesis of the passage biased you present a logical fallacy. Christ did not build His church on a man. What foundation can prevail against the gates of hell? Only Christ.

Just repeating scripture , Jesus's words as he said them in Aramaic, rather than your "Logic" emanating more from your dislike of the inevitable conclusion, rather than what was actually said, which is logical and there for all to see..

Even Luther and Calvin thought Peter was special because of scripture, so your view is an outlier ,
The "keys of the kingdom" as referenced back to the old testament make it clear but then...you make up your mind on meaning first, then cherry pick verses to fit it, ignoring those you do not like.

But you can deny it 10000 times and it will not change a jot of the fact that
(a) the conversation took place in aramaic and
(b) there is no such distinction as "petra / petros " in aramaic, So they are one and the same.
(c) So Peter was indeed the rock on which jesus built his church

But then nothing has changed. Abraham and Moses, also were appointed stewards on earth of Gods people, so Peter joined a distinguished line, exalted more than they because Abraham was only called "father" by God (putting paid to other anticatholic nonsense), Peter was officially the rock on which Jesus built his church, a far higher sounding role!.
