Subject: Is the church is infallible? |
Bible Note: Greetings Al - Where do you see the keys to the kingdom of heaven as the Key of David - THE key of authority? Jesus alone holds that Key. imo, I don't see Him sharing that with Peter, the pope or anyone else. I would not entrust anyone with the "key" to my house except the Lord. 2 Tim 1:12 Rev 3:7 He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this: Who HAS the key of David; Who is the "HE" in this verse? - it is NOT Peter; it is NOT the pope; it is NOT the RC Church - it is Jesus. How does your position "the church is the truth" compare to what Jesus declared about Himself in John 14:6 (I am the truth) and about God's Word in John 17:17 (Your Word is truth - See also John 1:1)? Are you claiming that the Roman Catholic Church is Divine? Jesus warns us: 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him." Mt 24:23 Re: Mt 16:18. The Roman Catholic Church and the catholic church are two different entities. The "catholic" church of Mt 16:18 is the church universal, the body of Christ; His witnesses. The other is an organization of men based in Rome. We are redeemed of the Lord, but no man is infallible. Only God is infallible; the church, being made up of men and women with sin natures is not infallible. Peter was not infallible, he denied the Lord. He is not the "rock" upon which Christ's Church is built. The ROCK upon which Christ build's His church is the testimony of who He is as revealed by the Holy Spirit to Peter,(v 16). The church builds on the rock - JESUS - by obedience to Christ, not by obedience to any man. Luke 6:46-49. Where does God's Word cite that the Holy Spirit is only given to the Roman Catholic Church? The Holy Spirit is given to all those who believe in Jesus, not just the Roman Catholic Church.(John 7:39). Membership in the body of Christ is a work of God 1 Cor 12:13. Please refrain from witholding the cup from those who are not registered with Rome! Peace to you, mommapbs |
