NASB | Matthew 16:18 "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 16:18 "And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it [by preventing the resurrection of the Christ]. [Eph 1:22; 4:15; 5:23; Col 1:18] |
Subject: "upon this rock I will build my church" |
Bible Note: Doc, in this case, Gal 2:11, paul is confronting Peter for preaching one think and doing another, being hyprocritical. Papale infalibity in teaching on faith and morals under very limited circumstance is not to be confused with impeccability. Popes can and do sin. Infallibilty is a "negative" chaism of the holy Spirit, which prevents the formal teaching of error in faith and morals in exercising the formal teaching office. It does not prevent immorality or unfaithfulness on the personal level nor assure faithfulness or morality on a personal level in daily life. Lots of ink has been spilled on this subject. I was offering a strictly scriptural explanation of Matthew 16:18 in response to the question and attempting to address objections often raised in response to the position I was putting forth.I realize that the position I have laid out. It is not one to which most on this forum adhere and is in fact one which most here might be expected to reject and oppose. Nevertheless, there is a case to be made and I have made it within the limits of my ability. Emmaus |
