STA,
Yet, it has been shown to you over and over that you have wrested them out of context in an attempt (it would seem) to make them sound like the church is above all. This is false, according to the context. If the context doesn’t support your claim, which it doesn’t in this case, it is a false teaching at best. A heresy at worst.
Yet this out of context falsehood continues to emanate from your account, like a FR version of Rain Man has seized control, “Wapner, Wapner, Wapner.”
Or perhaps it is simpler. We will never know. Carry on. It has been noted sufficiently that your use of these verses is distorted to fit (it seems evident) an agenda.
Best.
Seems pretty clear to me 8-)
You might want to also look into "binding and loosing," which refers to indisputable ecclesial authority. (Matthew 16:19, 18:18)
I don't know how the Bible could be any more explicit.
And Protestants protesting proof-texting is ironic, since Catholics are also supposed to abandon Church Authority and Sacred Tradition (in contradiction to Scripture, for an extra layer of irony).
And we still haven't talked about the key of the Davidic kingdom.
