Yea, which has nothing to do with the discussion. So what. I can't appeal to Protestant scholars because you disagree with them, I certainly can't appeal to Catholic scholars because you will reject them out-of-hand, I can't appeal the the Early Church Fathers because you have nothing to do...

I said no such thing. Coming to the Father is a straw man fallacy to the meaning of the keys, which you are in resistance to what the Bible says, as I have carefully explained, using Isaiah, Matthew and Revelation. You offer no cohesive alternative explanation to the meaning of the keys, you...

Binding and loosing has nothing to do with binding the works of the flesh. It is a rabbinical term. You can find "binding and loosing" on any Jewish resource but Jesus perfected it. Matt. 16:19 – whatever Peter binds or looses on earth is bound or loosed in heaven / when the Prime Minister to...

I can agree. Please keep in mind, we do not deny that the Church is also a spiritual-invisible reality, nor do we assert that salvation is strictly predicated only of those who are formally part of the physical Church structure - although we confess such an arrangement to be normative. In...

Six million Polish citizens were killed in the Holocaust—three million of them were Jews, the other three million were Catholic. Poland was the only country where the Germans gave official death orders for any Pole who helped a Jew. And more Poles were killed for assisting Jews than anyone else...

Jesus doesn't give keys to Himself. Only to Peter and his direct successors. Keys do that.

Isa. 22: 19-25 Isa. 22: 19 I will thrust you from your office, and you will be pulled down from your station. Shebna is described as having an "office" and a "station." An office, in order for it to be an office, has successors. In order for an earthly kingdom to last, a succession of...

How to deal with psychotic hatred.

Cephas is the Greek form of the Aramaic "Kepha". Jesus spoke in Aramaic in Matthew 16:18, not Greek, and not Hebrew. Paul uses the Aramaic name rather than the Greek name for Simon Peter when he writes to the churches in Galatia and Corinth, because everybody understood what ROCK meant. Q: A...

This has nothing to do with learned Protestant scholars who have studied the Bible all their lives and write reference manuals to aid us dummies in understanding it better. You are trying to raise yourself above them with a pious "wisdom of this world" quote which is completely off topic. Adam...

Rome is built on a personal relationship with Mary is silly. What I suggest you do is go to a good Catholic site (catholic.com)and find out you are bearing false witness. The Vatican doesn't sit on any of the 7 hills of Rome. Check a map. Bible Christian hate cults are counting on you not to be...

My response to the Protestant petros/petra objection is as follows: 1. GREEK ORTHODOX NEVER USED THIS ARGUMENT This is tremendously important. If anybody had a reason to deny papal authority or the Roman Catholic interpretation of Matthew 16, it would have been the Greek Orthodox. From the 5th...

Matthew 16:17-19 W.F. Albright (Protestant) and C.S. Mann “[Peter] is not a name, but an appellation and a play on words. There is no evidence of Peter or Kephas as a name before Christian times….Peter as Rock will be the foundation of the future community. Jesus, not quoting the Old Testament...

That has nothing to do with Peter's primacy. The Jews were called first, the last called are followers of Christ. Check a commentary. That has nothing to do with Peter's primacy. The Jews were called first, the last called are followers of Christ. Check a commentary. You are inserting your...

Jesus rules from heaven. Peter and his successors rule the Church on earth. I am not talking about salvation, I am talking about the primacy of Peter, as scripture plainly shows. The point is that is when the rejection of Peter's primacy began. It's a man made tradition. That has...

Yes, it's quite noticeable. They are inconsistent with the unanimous consensus of the ECF. Their "better understanding" is foreign to the first 1600 years of Christianity, which means nothing to Protestants. Answering false assertions, correcting myths and lies, and dealing with childish...

For Peter to supplant or replace the authority of Jesus is unbiblical. That is not what the Primacy of Peter means and has never been taught by the Church. It's a straw man fallacy. Jesus rules the heavenly and earthly Church, Peter and his successors rule only the earthly Church, they are not...

"He that hears you, hears me; and he that despises you, despises me; and he that despises me, despises him that sent me" (Luke 10:16). Like the passage about binding and loosing, this passage denotes that the preaching of the Apostles is authoritative. To hear the Apostles is to hear Christ...

The Canon of Scripture itself is an example of developing doctrine. The New Testament never informs us which books comprise itself, and its Canon (final list of books) took about 360 years to reach its final form (at the Council of Carthage in 397). For instance, the books of Hebrews, James, 2...

I think I'll put you back on ignore, your brainless remarks are a constant irritant.
