Where are you getting the faulty information that they keys of the kingdom no longer exist?
Strange. They were given to Peter by Christ. Why wouldn’t they exist in heaven where Peter opens and closes the gate?
Yikes. Where is it even officially taught that Peter is in Heaven actually opening and closing the gate, or have you moved beyond what Rome actually teaches, while censoring others for teaching what Rome does not officially say?
As far as the keys being given to Peter, this goes with binding and loosing, and which was not simply given to Peter, but to all the disciples the Lord addressed in Mt. 18:18.
And the "keys" are manifestly the gospel of salvation, by faith in which the believer is translated into the kingdom of Christ.
"Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:" (Colossians 1:13)
Peter was the first to use them in Acts 2, while Paul was the chief evangelist, theologian, and writer, whom your pope reportedly said laid down the cornerstones of the Christian faith and creed.
Please do not distort my comments. The keys Christ gave Peter indeed still exist, they are His Words, NOT the mystical traditions leavened down through the ages.
Strange. They were given to Peter by Christ. Why wouldn’t they exist in heaven where Peter opens and closes the gate?
Of course they were given to Peter and the rest of those who are of a mind to follow Christ can read for themselves what the keys open. But when a people replace Christ with Mary and a pope they have cut new imitation keys that open a different gate.
