That's ridiculous...Peter was not the Rock...Peter was the little rock, or stone...Peter denied Jesus 3 times...That ain't no Rock...
Matthew 18 And I tell you, you are Peter(The Rock),[d] and on this rock[e] I will BUILD MY church, and the powers of death[f] shall not prevail against it.
And then you pervert the scriptures apparently to try to bolster your position...The 'powers of death' don't exist in that scripture...
He is addressing The Rockthat was named by him. PETER.
Nonesense...Had Jesus been referring to Peter, Jesus would have said, 'upon you'...But he didn't...
Also when you give Keys those Keys are to be passed on to someone responsible as a leader. I have a house with keys. I only pass them on to who is to be trusted.
That's right...That's why my wife has a key also...My offspring have a key...Everyone who needs to get in has a key...And not just Peter...The Keys were given to all of them and all of us...
Lol!! All lawyered up. It is all there . Lol!!! Amazing. Why we seem angry? Lol!!
He denied him before Christ breathed the Holy Spirit on him. Also before the Holy Spirit Witness which was after the tongues of fire on pentcost. That arguement does not hold water. He had Holy Spirit boldness of faith after those two events.
Peace in Christ
