I see nothing in the Bible that suggests that there is perpetual seat in Rome, and the church that Rome separated from in 1054 did not see the Roman bishop as Pontifix Maximus either.
There is plenty of scriptural evidence, and not just that, but history itself shows it as true.
being that, as ive said on other threads, the catholic church doesnt just rest on scripture, but on the ‘three legged stool’ of scripture, sacred tradition and the teaching church, that all compliment and affirm each other, including the succession of popes.
you limit yourself to your understanding of the word of God as opposed to the way God gave you, i.e. the teaching church, along with Sacred Tradition and the Word.
how do you think anyone learned anything back in the days, weeks, months or years after Christ ascended back to heaven?
there were no bibles, pretty much no one could read...there was only one method, a teaching church that encompassed the 3 legged stool i mentioned above.
and it still works today
To whom did Christ give the keys to the Kingdom?
It’s in the Bible.........He gave them to Peter.
This means Christ chose Peter as the leader of his Church after his Ascension.
