Bible Question: Lately a "evangelical priest" on the local "evangelical" radio station has been casting his net for souls, attacking sola scriptura, and sola fida. As all Romes hersies ultimately proceed out of her (what i term)unwarranted perpetuated pope peter premise, i was looking for any thought you have in regards to Mt. 16:15-19 and related verses. Thank God for your fllwshp in the Gospel, daniel |
Bible Answer: No other cornerstone (or capstone) is described as being the foundation of the church in scripture but Christ. Jesus is the stone the builders rejected in Psalm 118:22 which Jesus quotes in Matthew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, and again by Peter in Acts 4:11 and 1 Peter 2:4-7. Paul says in Ephesians 2:19-20 "Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone." Regarding Jesus giving Peter the "keys to the kingdom", he says the same to all of the Apostles again in Matthew 18:18. This promise was fulfilled in the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. If Jesus had made Peter the head of his church, over all the Apostles, then you would expect the Apostles to obey Jesus in his choice of leader. But if you look at the council held in Jerusalem in Acts 15, we see that it was James who presided over the council and not Peter. Also, if you read the early christian fathers, you will discover that Peter's successors as heads of the church in Rome did not believe that they had primacy over the the other churches, but rather lovingly rebuked those who held them in such esteem. |
