Peter was the first Pope who presided at the Council of Jerusalem.
To whom did Jesus give the Keys of the Kingdom after Peter repented three times. Think about it.
Wrong. James does. It's written in there clearly.
Let’s step through it logically. Play the scenario out.
Again, Peter spoke to the Lord face to face. Popes do not.
Rev 11 states there are Prophets on the earth before the second coming. The Pope is not a prophet. There are no prophets in the Catholic church, therefore these Prophets are not Catholic.
Peter and the rest of the Apostles spoke to the Lord face to face. These latter-day Prophets speak to God face to face. There are no similarities between the pope and any Prophet of God.
You logically have to conclude, that with living Prophets on the earth, Prophets that actually have the power of God like Moses, that they are the leaders of God’s people, because they are talking to God face to face. They truly have the keys and authority.
Since these two can be killed, they are mortal men. If they have the real keys and authority of God, they had to get those from someone. Right?
And Rev 11 states that they stand before God. Meaning God parted the heavens and has spoken to mortal men, just like He’s done with all the other Prophets. But He hasn’t parted the heavens to talk to a pope.
I can logically conclude, that Pope Francis has no keys or authority. Nor has any Pope from Linus I on down. Peter obviously had the keys, Linus I did not, because Francis does not.
In order to answer this, I’m thinking you have to reconcile Rev 11 with Pope Francis.
