Just so the rest of us can read the passage, could you quote the part where Peter is the first pope and forms a chain of popes from that point on who are given this same ability, who speak ex cathedra, who are to be called Holy Father, who are to live in Rome and ride in a popemobile (okay this last one is unecessary)? None of these concepts, nor the several hundred others like them, are supported by Scripture.
“Just so the rest of us can read the passage,”
No, we have to have agreement on the first part. That Christ established a Church for the express purpose of spreading the Gospel.
Until this point is settled, only then we can move on. Are you willing to concede that Christ did, in fact, establish a church with the express purpose of spreading the Gospel?
