Only in your imagination.
Ah, the argument of silence. Since they didn't make any connection, we must assume that it was so basic to their understanding that they wrote nothing for fear that their readers would say, "Well duh. Like, did you even need to mention it."
I don't think you will even find too many Catholics supporting you in this argument.
John
Since Chrysostom stated elsewhere that the Apostle John also holds the keys, it cannot possibly be understood as being exclusive to Peter.
John
Peter's primacy is not in question, your transferring that to the Papacy is. The Orthodox understanding is that all bishops are Peter's successors.
You have no knowledge of the history and culture of Corinth. Though situated in the middle of Greece it was completely populated by Romans. All their cultural and religious ties were to Rome, they had regular trade and correspondence with Rome. Clement had been a companion of Paul's when he had established the churches of Corinth and Rome and was a living link to their founder. The Apostle John had nothing to do with the establishment of these churches. His sphere of influence fell over Asia Minor. Despite being closer geographically, logistically he was much harder to contact.
among the othersWe've shown this to be false several times. Your persistence with this falsehood only makes you look stupid.
And you blatantly disregard the Church Fathers.
Eliakim is a type of Christ.
Eliakim held the keys to the earthly treasures--old covenant
Christ holds the keys to the heavenly treasures --New covenant
Don't place Peter in Christs' spot, even he will tell 1 Peter 5:4 who's whom.

Yeah it's simple the HS revealed through Peter that; Christ is the Son of the Living God. That's the rock.We didn't give Peter the keys, Jesus did.
Does this seem vague to you?
17Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. 18And 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. 19I 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."
You are desperate to avoid the crystal clear words of scripture.Yeah it's simple the HS revealed through Peter that; Christ is the Son of the Living God. That's the rock.
So your saying that Rev 3:7, they are speaking of Peter then also? It's pretty clear to me who he is talking about. And this is a direct quote of ISA 22:22 that Christ is using.Eliakim held the key to the house of David because it was given to him by the King of the house of David. Are you suggesting that Jesus holds the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven because they were given to him by the King of Heaven? Is Christ not the King of Heaven? I dont think you have followed the implications of your parallel. Eliakim is not a type of Christ, he was only a steward, he is a type of Peter.
It was to all believers, but you'll never see that with Rome tinted glasses.You are desperate to avoid the crystal clear words of scripture.
Question: If Jesus was the rock he was referring to then why did he give the keys of authority to Peter?
The truth won't change for you, sorry.
When He (Christ) opens the door, no one else shuts it; and when He shuts it, no one opens it. Christ, the great antitype of Eliakim, has the key to truth, holiness, opportunity, service, testimony, and salvation. Jesus said, "... no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (Jn. 14:6). Why? He has the key--and He is the key.It was to all believers, but you'll never see that with Rome tinted glasses.

Simon,
It is clear the the bible is not sufficient for you.
You must truncate, elaborate, and even add words to wrench the meaning you want from scripture.
Some day I pray that you will take God's word to heart.
Please cite an example if you are going to make an implicit accusation!Medice, cura te ipsum!
Since I am not following the apostate teachings of man made doctrines, i'll rest comfortably in the arms of my LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, author of my salvation.Simon,

FYI: Jesus said to his disciples: 16"He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
If you reject those Jesus sent, you reject him.

anyone reading the thread above can see how silly your response is.Since I am not following the apostate teachings of man made doctrines, i'll rest comfortably in the arms of my LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, author of my salvation.
Clearly SRIPTURE is SUFFICIENT for me is it for YOU?
