Matt 16:18,19 is not "man made".

While I happen to also think it is "man-made", the actual phrase I used was "man-led". Of course, we will have an honest disagreement on the interpretation of this passage. My view is that God would not choose to build His Church on the single person of a sinner. At least we can agree that Peter was a sinner. :)

*Agreed. And the New Testament teaches us to bring our disagreements to the Church and to hear the decision of the Church; and, if we do not hear the Church, we are to be treated as publicans ect

And, as you well know, the Church, which wrote the NT, has always taught that Jesus was quite clear about building His Church upon Kepha/Cephas/Peter, the Rock

So, what's your beef?...:)
