Pope, King of the world?

[WarriorAngel]

# Matthew 16:19
I will give you the key-s 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."

# Revelation 1:18
I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Matthew 16:17. Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father(Also known as the Rock) in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this (or that Rock) rock I will build my church,...
It is more like Yahshua to glorify the Father.
Revelation 10
The Angel and the Little Scroll
1Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. 2He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. 4And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.

WOW - talk about adding to scriptures - I cannot recall one place where Jesus ever called His Father a Rock..
AND FWIW - your idea makes Jesus sounds wishy washy according to your take...adding 'this rock or that rock'...

Keys - which is representive that Peter was the recipient of ALL the keys of all the Apostles - who were all stewards UNDER Peter's authority.

I have read Church history. I quoted exactly what it says in the last sentance of Unam Sanctum. Which is this:

"Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff."

Which I have copied from this source:

http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_bo08us.htm

I believe this statement is a false teaching. It contradicts scripture. What about my study of Church history did I miss that would tell me it is acceptable for the pope to contradict scripture? Perhaps you are correct and I missed that paragraph.

That is why I said you havent read history...because you critique something that has been said in the earlier writings of the Church fathers. [They were inferred - dont make me find them again for nothing]

NOW - you can say - well that exact phrase wasnt used...he added it. Which I will sigh and say - doesn't anyone understand how it works?

And then I will be told that Jesus didnt have this exactly written in the scriptures - and I will say the early Fathers knew Peter was the Cheif and that all were subject to his teaching and they will point to Matthew 16...and then I will find you several quotes that you will ignore ...and act like I just C&P the entire US Constitution to you...

And then I will just shrug.

So - let's skip to the chase and you go find the quotes I have posted in here many times as i yet am still debating with the same folks I quoted them to.

SO thats how i know how this will end.

Warrior, with all due respect, please spare us the trentolike massive cut n pastes... A link will suffice.

Hey - simon - you know me - IF you are going to state for fact something and I am around - BE prepared to see your mistakes via the C&P of what was said in the early Church.

AND fwiw - I did spare you the many more I could have posted...

Actually you are wrong. Jesus at no time in scripture gave keys to the other Apostles. However, you are correct that the other Apostles shared in it's authority.

EXACTLY!

Peter was the Head of the Church [to quote St Chrysostom] and so this is why HE held them - and they were not given individually.

Actually you are wrong. Jesus at no time in scripture gave keys to any of the Apostles.

Please note two things about Mt. 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Jesus will give the keys. This is future tense. It hasn't happened yet. This is further confirmed by Jesus saying:

Rev. 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

unless, of course, you are prepared to state that that is Peter speaking.

If you reply, well I meant keys plural, rather than key, please further note that again it is again Christ Jesus who retains the keys up to this moment.

Rev. 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

He did hand them to Peter.
NOTE the reason Jesus says He will give him the keys [future tense] is that upon HIS death - the ministry will belong to Peter.

BUT until He dies - HE will be the Master present and won't need to hand over the keys to the Steward until He is gone.

Matthew 16
19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

How do you determine when he is fallable or infallible in his teachings?

The primordial Word of God is God the Son and thus God himself: "In the beginning was the Word." What's more often called the "Word", embodied in the preaching of the Apostles, the Bible, Sacred Tradition, and dogma, is but the transmission of truths from and about the primordial Word. This media of transmission and elaboration are but the making explicit of much that was implicit in the primitive kerygma. The basic deposit of faith was indeed "delivered once for all to the saints" from the start; but it took centuries of meditation, heresy, and definition to bring forth to maturity.

You probably never heard of The sensus fidelium ("sense of the faithful")? Pope John XXII was soundly and successfully rebuked by the lay masses when he temporarily espoused belief in a false doctrine. So if the need arises the layity can arbitrate.

Because the Church was given the original deposit of faith it is infallible because it proceeds from God.

Nonsense. Jesus Christ is the head of the Church. Peter shakes his head at your comments just like the mother of our Lord shakes her head at Mariodoulia. Also, binding and loosing refers to the function of the keys. Since this was extended to the other apostles soon afterward, the other apostles also have the keys and the foundation of your church is exposed as sand.

Sorry about the delay, ChristianForums keeps malfunctioning. My Strong's Exhaustive Concordance confirms those words are interchangeable.

 

[GuardianShua]

It seems that Yahshua was instructing Peter to build upon the Father, the Holy Spirit. That means that the papal claim as successor is false. That sounds very much like Yahshua to give glory to the Father.Matthew 16:16. Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father (AKA the Rock) in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter, but on that Rock you will build my church, and the gateways to the grave will not overcome it.
The name Peter also means rock. It must be that the Father was commonly known as the Rock, because it is used many times in the old Testament for Yahwah.

This is not difficult. Binding and loosing refers to the function of the keys. Since the same ability is granted to the other apostles soon afterward, that means that they received the keys also. Now, I know that flies in the face of the tall tales of your church, but it is correct nonetheless.

wow anyone heard this yet?(haven't read the thread)


Pope Benedict XVI holds his pastoral staff during the Epiphany Mass in St. Peter's Basilica at the VaticanPOPE:

"The celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord invites us to contemplate Jesus as the divine Savior, the light that guides us on our journey to eternity." Thousands of families packed Saint Peter's Square to hear the pope's words. In Christian tradition, the Epiphany marks the day three wise men guided by a star pay homage to the Baby Jesus.
Earlier, the pope celebrated mass in Saint Peter's Basilica. In his homily, Benedict said the past decades have seen a "challenge to global civilization, where the center can no longer be Europe and not even that which we call the West or the North of the world."
He added that there is a need to elaborate a new world political and economic order, but, above all, a spiritual and cultural one, a renewed humanism.
Pope Benedict said that now, at the start of the Third Millennium, the world is in the middle of a phase of human history described as globalization. He said that while politicians, scientists and researchers play important roles in the modern world, it is also necessary that the leaders of the great non-Christian and Christian religions are at their side.
Pope Benedict will celebrate another mass on Sunday in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. During that ceremony, as is tradition, he will baptize a number of children.
