Disciples most likely spoke either Aramaic or Hebrew. The word for big and small rock in Aramaic is the same. The translators may have changed it to masculine Petros, because the original Aramaic word is in feminine form. But also, even if Peter is not the rock on which the church is built, it...

There you go again. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT PHYSICAL CHAIRS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY. It's called a metaphor, it's not a literal chair.

Where did I lie? You obviously don't understand what you're reading, or you don't have the concept of philosophical discussion. You are basically UNABLE to talk about something without taking sides. Your mind is so set in your ways, you can't even tolerate a civil discussion about different ideas.

That's the difference between being a follower of Christ, and other religions. Other religions are all about what you have to do, ours is all about what God did for us. There is some confusion about faith vs works, but it's all resolved by understanding that works are merely a correlation of...

What study? Are you talking about some physical chair that Peter sat in?:LOL:you're funny! The seat of Moses in Mathew 23:2 refers to position of authority, not an actual chair:LOL: Pharasees also had dogmas and believed to be superior to everyone, but that doesn't change the fact Jesus...

The original Aramaic that the disciples spoke only had one word for rock. Upon translation to Greek, the translators may have used the masculine form for Peter, but the original language doesn't differentiate. It's a good argument against the Papists to say that disciples did miracles and none...

Hypocrite much? As you've said before yourself... "your assumptions are not facts". Especially in your case where you don't even read (or at this point understand) comments before replying.

That's talking about prayer. I'm talking about who if anyone has the authority to lead the physical church. Also, I agree that all disciples had the power to bind and loose, but only Peter got the special keys.

That's debatable. There is one other user on here who claims it was Hebrew.

Disciples most likely spoke Aramaic, and the word for rock is the same in Aramaic (kêfā). It's generally feminine, so in Greek it was changed to masculine for Peter.

These formulas are not from Youtube, they are IN THE BIBLE, and anyone can look them up on their computer.

Mathew 16:19 parallels with Isiah 22 where a king gives keys to his stewart. Those keys are passed down to his successors.

So how does this refute Peter having special authority, which is passed down to his successors? Isiah 22 talks about a steward getting keys and according to tradition of that time, those keys would be passed down to his successor.

Basically, he's saying the power to bind and loose belongs to the spiritual church, not the physical. And that's a good point that I always make against Papists, but that doesn't disprove the physical authority of the Catholic church or Papal succession.

It's not about which church is corrupt and which isn't, it's about God choosing specific people to lead his congregation. He chose Moses to be the first leader of the OT, and in Matthew 16:19 Jesus said the Pharasees have the authority of Moses because the power was passed down to them. As...

The original question was asking for evidence, not your opinion. You did not provide any proof.

You're obviously not reading well enough, otherwise you would've seen me equating Papists with Pharasees and calling them both EVIL. What... are you even arguing about? I said I agree he was equal among disciples, but that doesn't change the fact that Jesus gave him the keys to Heaven. The...

If you actually read what I've posted so far instead of scrolling and pressing "disagree" on a bunch of my posts, then you would have seen that I'm against RCC just like I'm against the pharasees. It's true Peter was treated as an equal among the disciples, but in Matthew 16:19 Jesus gave the...

I'm fluent in English for almost 20 years, but it's not my first language.

Again with your vague opinions and no proof. Who are you to decide what the proper exegesis of this verse is? Hundreds of millions of Christians, including some highly experienced Bible scholars are split on this issue. So be specific and provide actual evidence.
