1 | Questions about Peter- Rock andkeys | Matt 16:16 | Christian2003 | 188910 | ||
Hello, can anyone explain to me in a simple way what Jesus mean when he said to Peter - on the rock I build my church. Am I was once a catholic I once was told me that Jesus gives the authority to Peter that is why the catholic claim is the first pope of the church and they have the right to authority anything. Is this right? Also what did Jesus mean I gave you (Peter) the keys. Catholic said it mean that they have right to made or break the rules whatever. Is this right ? Can you explain? |

2 | Questions about Peter- Rock andkeys | Matt 16:16 | Paul Birston | 188911 | ||
Hi Christian 2003 One very helpful interpretation of Jesus' statement in its context is that Jesus will build His church on the basis of the truth that He is "the Christ, the Son of the living God." This is the confession that Peter makes. God revealed to him. The recognition of Jesus as the Son of God as revealed by the Father would seem to be the highlight of this passage rather than the person of Peter. You will find many key verses throughout the New Testament that support the truth that Jesus, the Son of the Living God, is the foundation of His church. 'Hope this helps, Paul Birston |
