And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church,* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. 19l I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

He didn’t say anything about break away if you don’t like something someone said and start a new religion, or tens of thousands of them.

Then we can presume you are in complete submission to your current pope.

And *petra* is Jesus, not Peter.

Paul specifies that in 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.

The Greek here shows it.

Catholicism has usurped Christ as the foundation of their church and replaced HIm with a man. BIG mistake.

[metmom]

Yeah, well, get Catholicism unified before starting lecturing others.

There are 22 rites and then there’s the whole Orthodox issue. HARDLY unity of doctrine and theology.

Texas, you are really going to hate my next post. It backs up metmom's point. here is a link to the post, I will make the post to Freerepublic tomorrow sometime.

Did Jesus Truly Say, “I Will Build My Church Upon Peter?”

[Flaming Conservative]

You are Peter -— petros (boulder or stone) and upon this Rock -— petra (A large mass of rock) I will build my church. Two different words, describing two different people, Peter, and Jesus.
