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 18:57, August 7, 2020
, 18:57, August 7, 2020→Peter Being "the rock" does not necessarily mean the first Pope
The Latin in the last part translates to: "It is surprising that this is twisted to the Pope."
The Latin in the last part translates to: "It is surprising that this is twisted to the Pope."
Furthermore, after Jesus supposedly declares Peter to be a rock that the gates of Hell will not prevail against, in Matthew 16:23: Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns." This is wholly inconsistent with Peter being an infallible "first Pope." The "rock" that will be the foundation of the church is looking pretty weak. And of course, in Matthew 26:69-75, Peter denied Jesus three times, AFTER he was supposedly declared "the rock" and the "first Pope." Peter did eventually turn his life around, but he is far from the "rock" that the Catholic position implies that he is.
