Debate:Does the Catholic Church have the biblical authority of Christ Himself to preach and to teach the truth forever? (view source)
Revision as of 21:42, August 5, 2020
, 21:42, August 5, 2020→Peter Being "the rock" does not necessarily mean the first Pope
So although Albert Barnes believed that Peter was the rock, he did not believe that meant Roman Primacy.
So although Albert Barnes believed that Peter was the rock, he did not believe that meant Roman Primacy.
Pulpit Commentary, which also asserts that Peter is the rock, says this:
{{cquote|Combining the two expositions, we may say that Christ herein promises that neither the power of death nor the power of the devil shall prevail against it (κατισχύσουσιν αὐτῆς), shall overpower it, keep it in subjection. The pronoun refers doubtless to Church, not rock, the verb being more applicable to the former than the latter, and the pronoun being nearer in position to ἐκκλησίαν. To see here an assurance of the infallibility of the pope, as Romanists do, is to force the words of Scripture most unwarrantably in order to support a modern figment which has done infinite harm to the cause of Christ. As Erasmus says, "Proinde miror esse, qui locum hunc detorqueant ad Romanum Pontificem."}}
The Latin in the last part translates to: "It is surprising that this is twisted to the Pope."
