Taking that section of that verse out of context, which has been pointed out to you numerous times, is not validation for the RCC’s claim of absolute authority over believers.
It is not Jesus giving absolute authority to a church hierarchy. It is dealing with disputes between individual believers and is the very last of process for addressing an unrepentant brother when none of the other previous steps have been successful.
Good morning metmom. When we all face CHRIST, HE will know those who truly belong to HIM and those that belong to something else.
