Just like King Jesus gave Peter the keys to heaven, in Isiah 22 a king gives his Stewart keys to the kingdom and his descendants or successors would inherit the keys. In both cases, the king still holds the ultimate authority, but the stewart is the carrier of that authority.

Pharisees weren't in the spiritual seat either, the priests were. The Bible also tells us to obey ALL authority, spiritual and physical.

Where does it say he wasn't allowed to name successors? Isiah 22 suggests otherwise.

Great point! However, that still doesn't refute the physical (albeit not spiritual) authority of those who are in the seat of Peter. Pharisees ruled until the end of the old covenant, and now the new Pharisees (Papists) rule until the 2nd coming of Jesus.

Perhaps it is... that doesn't change the fact Jesus gave Peter the keys and nobody else.

What do the keys mean then? Isiah 22 has the same situation of a king giving special keys to his stewart; keys that are passed down to his successors.

That's what I'm trying to find out.

What makes you think those were the only churches at the time or that they were run by Peter or his successor? Pharisees were so apostate that Jesus CONDEMNED them, and yet he still told everyone to OBEY their authority.

If Jesus gave special keys to Peter, and Mathew 16:19 parallels Isiah 22, then the keys are passed down to Peter's successors. They are the ones chosen by God as one true church and all the other divisions are the apostates. During the time Jesus walked the earth, Christians were led by Jesus...

I don't hold to any of their positions, but unless you can disprove that Jesus gave Peter the keys that nobody else was given, or that his authority wasn't passed to his successors, the RCC still holds the same authority today as the Pharisees did in the past. Jesus still told everyone to obey...

If Jesus did indeed give the special keys to Peter, and Isiah 22 parallels this idea, then Papal succession would lead the authority to Pope Francis, and the Catholic church would be the only true church. If not, then they are imposters.

Kefas is Greek. Kepa is Aramaic and feminine. The disciples most likely spoke Aramaic or Hebrew. Peter chose his successor, and so on, so the line of succession is supposedly now at Pope Francis.

Yes, I do not support any of the Dogmas that RCC made up. However, Jesus told everyone to obey the Pharasees and they are just as dogmatic if not worse than RCC. Other disciples had the power to bind and loose, but only Peter was given the special keys.

As I've repeated many times - I do NOT support RCC. They are evil and make up dogmas just like the Pharisees. However, if they are the true authority, then we have no choice but to submit. I would not be upholding KJV either if I didn't find evidence to support it. The original disciples most...

Aaron's priestly lineage ended with Christ, who has been and still is our high priest and king. God gave Moses the highest authority, even higher than Aaron. His authority was passed down to the Pharasees at the time Christ walked the earth. Our God and Saviour Jesus Christ then may or may not...

Cephas is Greek. Aramaic for rock is kepa - כֵּיפָא • (kēp̄ā) Jesus is the king who has the keys, he made Peter his stewart. Isiah 22 has a parallel idea to this. A king gives the keys to his stewart, and those keys are passed down to his descendants. The stewart is NOT the king, and all of...

Because you keep presenting irrelevant facts that I'VE ALREADY agreed on and pretending like you're making an argument. Are you going to keep copying and parroting what I've said? Can you not come up with anything original? That doesn't even apply to me, I did not take any side between...

AGAIN?! I told you I agree with those points, but they have NOTHING to do with this discussion. Pharasees were just as bad if not worse, but Jesus still told everyone to OBEY THEIR AUTHORITY!

What nonsense? What did I avoid? You haven't proven anything I said as wrong, all you've done is say your opinions.

My apologies, you may actually be able to read, but not understand. So let me clarify. You don't understand what we're talking about here. None of the points you made so far are relevant to the discussion. I don't disagree that RCC is corrupt and evil, but so were the Pharasees, and Jesus told...
