I'm Matthew, chapter 16, verses 13-20, Jesus asks the disciples who the men say He is. After their response Jesus asks the disciples who they think He is and Peter answers "You are the Christ, the son of the living God." To which Jesus responds: "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
This is a pretty strong point for the catholic church is it not? I'm not catholic but I'm just wondering what all of you take this to mean? Just three verses later Jesus turns to Peter and says "Get behind Me Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."
Now what he said there^ was in response to Peter saying "Not You!" When Jesus was telling them of the things to come with his capture and crucifixion.
I don't really know what I think about this yet. I've read it a few times before with not much attention to it. Now that I am noticing, I'm a bit confused lol. Any ideas or opinions?
