In Mathew, after mentionng binding and loosing, He states that when two believers agree on touching anything that they shall ask, it will be given to them. (If it be in accordance with our Heavenly Father’s will should be the correct assumption here) Our heavenly Father will back up the decision made on earth by the group of believers on binding and loosing — when the decision is made according to His law and His will Could it not be the same with a small group?

Who did he say that to ? He said that to the Apostles (or those eligible to be apostles). Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

It seems obvious to me that the LORD gave the keys of the kingdom of heaven to Peter, as the chief steward, with the Apostles. Now the real issue for us is where is that apostolic succession ?

Our key to heaven is the Holy Spirit, given by our Messiah.

Not some man. It is in the testimony of the Truth which is of the Father and the Son.

Any man that speaks for the Father or Son better have the Holy Spirit as the Holy Spirit is Truth.
And we are called to test all spirits to see if they are from our Heavenly Father.

Which makes these mary lies even more egregious..
And any church that ordains these as truth, are not holding the keys of heaven or the Spirit of Holiness..
They are false prophets.. 1 John 4:1
And yes, it seems an entire church can be false...

Mary is proof and sadly those 15 promises are a witness against an entire church..they are following the spirit of the world, not the spirit of truth.

So whomever you claim has the ‘keys’ as you understand them, it isn’t the roman catholic church...
