Hello jaewoz101 The RCC teaches this and were able to keep virtually the whole Christian world in captivity for centuries. There's one major flaw in that view. If Jesus is to be the cornerstone (which is the stabilizer of a foundation) then Peter cannot be the rock, nor can the church. Wouldn't that upsurp the actual cornerstone? I think most Christians view the revelation proper that Peter had as being the rock. It is the knowledge (revelation) of who Jesus is that the church is built upon. To bring it down to our little pea brains, at the point of this verse, we have the Foundation built by the Law and the Prophets, we have Jesus the cornerstone and Peter, one little brick set next to the cornerstone. Without this "revelation" going further to build new bricks to build upon the Foundation, we don't have a complete building (church). |

Did you really mean to infer that the Catholic interpretation of Matthew 16:17-19 enabled the Catholics Church to keep the whole Christian world captive? I hope not because that would be untrue and also a violation of the intent and purpose and rules of this forum. I think what you really meant was yes the Catholics do teach that in this passage Jesus was telling Peter that he is the rock upon which the church would be built. Then you could say however my denomination teaches there are major flaws in that view. And then go on and tell us how your denomination views this passage. There are many denominations and both Protestant and Catholics that buy and use Lockman products and use this forum. Lockman has taken the position I believe to give all a fair hearing on this forum. |
