The apostles died long ago. We are taught by God's WORD.,
ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED.
Peter is dead. He started things out, but Jesus is the cornerstone. He builds the Church.
Peter has no keys to the gates of Hades. An angel has the keys to those gates. Peter is just floating on a cloud playing the harp somewhere. Jesus told Him to feed His sheep - until he died, and then his job was finished.
Actually Paul did far more than Peter.
Btw, Is. 22:21, 22 is referring to Jesus.
sorry Lk 1:4 matt 28:19 we must be taught
Christ and his church are one acts 9:4
Rejection of the church or its teaching is rejection of Christ
apostles are God breathed Jn 20:21-23
scripture alone no!
Acts 8 eunuch had scripture God sent an apostle to teach him
peter and the apostles and their successors Matt 16:18 18:18
Matt 28:19 I am with you (the apostles) till the end! could not be more plain
Apostles have the same mission ministry power and authority as Christ Jn 20:21-23
peter and His successors have the government of the church for Christ the king ascended to heaven and does NOT administer his kingdom accept thru Peter and his successors
Paul is an apostle he has authority
But peter has the jurisdictional authority
Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18 matt 28:19 Isa 22:21-22
Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.
Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.
Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments
