All I asked is that people research what KEYS meant in the Davidic Kingdom.
really? How do you come to that conclusion? Look what Christ says after He says he will give Peter the KEYS: . "And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven." I realize that your position must be "it's a metaphor" or else your position crumbles. However, it is clearly not a metaphor.
in the Davidic Kingdom, did the person who had the keys usurp the King's position? The answer is NO. So why would you insist that Peter would usurp Christ's position?
Looks like you don't know the definition of the word metaphor. If Christ didn't hand Peter a literal key, the kind that actually locks and unlocks a lock on a door or some other object, then the word in the scripture under consideration could only be a metaphor. And if it was a literal key your argument has no merit. The same applies to the the word "rock" as used in the other scripture under consideration. Because if Christ was talking about a literal rock your argument has no merit.
Why do you go back to the metaphorical meaning of the key in David's kingdom? Christ wasn't talking about David's kingdom. He spoke about his church, and the reign it will have over his New World Kingdom-The kingdom of God. That is Christ's kingdom. David was a mere ancestor sitting on a throne that ruled over a land that will be a teeny weeny part of Christ's kingdom.
The fact is you interpret metaphors, which is almost all that you have been doing. But you cannot show from scripture that historically Peter ruled the church in the apostles' day. My post a few posts up, which references biblical history, not biblical metaphors, proves Peter was no Pope, and that if he tried to be a Pope he was apostate-per Christ's words, not mine- because Christ explicitly told him not to do that. And Christ commanded him not to do that without speaking in metaphors. It's not up to interpretation. Following that command is not dependent on understanding it, for everyone understands it. Following it is only dependent on the readers' obedience or disobedience to it.That was something Peter never attempted to do in any scripture we read that covers the time period after Christ died. Yes Peter, John, and James all attempted to attain that position while Christ lived. But while Christ lived he told them he was not granting them any position like that. Not the first position or even the second position. "But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. God has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen.” (Christ at Mark 10:40) Jesus said it was not his place to assign those places in his church to anyone, and yet you say Christ gave one of those places to Peter. Scriptures say he didn't. There was no Pope in the first century, and Peter was no earthly supreme leader of the church.
I notice in your response to me you not only chose to ignore the historical evidence I brought out in New Testament scripture, you also ignored Christ's direct command I cited, not to call a Christian brother the title Father (Pope), and not to take on that title Father (Pope) for yourself, or even the designation leader, or the designation teacher.
Once the plain evidence of Christ's commands are presented right before your eyes, as I have presented them previously from Matthew 23:8-11, I suggest observing his words. I only comment here as a messenger of Christ. I never go to any Christian social media website to learn anything, only to teach. As Christ's messenger I have to warn as well as encourage people, because that's my assignment. Do what Christ says. All who Christ chooses to serve in his kingdom must do that.
So, again Christ's words are:
"But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. “Do not call
anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. “Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader,
that is, Christ. “But the greatest among you shall be your servant." Matthew 23:8-11
