Mt 16:19
“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
The key (pardon the pun) words above are “bind” and “loose.” The correct Greek translation is: “whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall having been bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall having been loosed in heaven.
The prior action you see, is in heaven.
To God Be The Glory
That is not what the Greek says.

Greek Orthodox Church 1904
καὶ δώσω σοι τὰς κλεῖς τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν δήσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται δεδεμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, καὶ ὃ ἐὰν λύσῃς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἔσται λελυμένον ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
The prior action is Peter doing the binding. That much is obvious.
What do you think "whatsoever" means? You are trying to justify your rebellion against the authority Jesus gave to Peter with absurd Bible twisting. Switching heaven with earth is unbiblical.
"Binding and loosing" is a rabbinical term, and everyone there knew what it meant.
Matt. 16:19 - Jesus gives Peter the "keys of the kingdom of heaven." While most Protestants argue that the kingdom of heaven Jesus was talking about is the eternal state of glory (as if Peter is up in heaven letting people in), the kingdom of heaven Jesus is speaking of
actually refers to the Church on earth. In using the term "keys," Jesus was referencing Isaiah 22 (which is the only place in the Bible where keys are used in the context of a kingdom).
Isaiah 22:22 - in the old Davidic kingdom, there were royal ministers who conducted the liturgical worship and bound the people in teaching and doctrine. But there was also a Prime Minister or chief steward of the kingdom who held the keys. Jesus gives Peter these keys to His earthly kingdom, the Church. This representative has decision-making authority over the people - when he shuts, no one opens. See also Job 12:14.
Rev. 1:18; 3:7; 9:1; 20:1 - Jesus' "keys" undeniably represent authority. By using the word "keys," Jesus gives Peter authority on earth over the new Davidic kingdom, and this was not seriously questioned by anyone until the Protestant reformation 1,500 years later after Peter’s investiture. (a kinda late innovation, dontcha think?)
Matt. 16:19 - whatever Peter binds or looses on earth is bound or loosed in heaven / when the Prime Minister to the King opens, no one shuts. This "binding and loosing" authority allows the keeper of the keys to establish "
halakah," or rules of conduct for the members of the kingdom he serves.
Matt. 23:2-4 - the "binding and loosing" terminology used by Jesus was understood by the Jewish people. For example, Jesus said that the Pharisees "bind" heavy burdens but won't move ("loose") them with their fingers. Peter and the apostles have the new binding and loosing authority over the Church of the New Covenant.
Matt. 13:24-52 -Jesus comparing the kingdom of heaven to a field, a mustard seed, leaven, and a net demonstrate that the kingdom Jesus is talking about is the universal Church on earth, not the eternal state of glory. Therefore, the keys to the "kingdom of heaven" refers to the authority over the earthly Church.
I suggest you look up some Jewish sources and find out what "binding and loosing" meant to the people who originally used the term, before Jesus elevated it to new heights with Peter.
Finally, with Peter doing the binding (first on earth) that is then bound in heaven, (as shown in the original Greek) can heaven bind an error?
No, it's impossible. What is bound on earth demands infallibility, which is inconceivable to sola scripturist Protestants.
