Does anything in this text say Peter is inerrant?Matthew 16:
[When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,“Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.]
Does it change the meaning? :/
Who gave this authority to Peter?
Does anything in this text say that Peter could transfer all the authority he was given to another?
When Jesus said "my church" was he just referring to one religious organization, like the RCC or was he talking about the household of believers?
If Peter built everything, than why the other apostles; why other churches outside of Rome, were they not churches of Christ?
The Catholics and others claims to authority well exceed what is actually given in scripture. Further it is inconsistent to claim authority from scripture and then say you have authority above it. Authority goes from the higher to the lower. From one with it to one that does not have it.
