I interpret NOTHING...I leave that up to the church leaders who have been doing it for 2,000+ years. It was NOT Himself that Jesus was referring to as the rock upon He would build His church...it was, indeed, peter or there would have been no need at all for the statement...I will give you the keys to the kingdom of Heaven....does that mean that He was going to keep them for Himself?????

I'm sorry, Mr. Terycarl. The Word of God is only spiritually discerned, and God calls us to seek its meaning. He calls us to seek His knowledge, wisdom and understanding. We have no need that any man teach us its meaning, because when we seek the Lord, His spirit illuminates the meaning of Scripture to our minds and spirits. Without the Spirit of God to help us understand His Word, we will not understand it, and will instead fall into deception.

What you wrote above is wrong. Jesus is the God of all creation. He is the Rock, the Foundation. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. No man gets to the Father except through Him.

Please stop putting your faith in fallen man, Mr. Terycarl.
