Where is this promise to the successors of Peter written in the Bible? I'd really like to look those verses over carefully. Thanks in advance.
“Where is this promise to the successors of Peter written in the Bible? I’d really like to look those verses over carefully. Thanks in advance.”
Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18).
Now it would be rather silly for someone to think that God meant for his church to be founded only to die with Peter.
And it would be equally silly for someone to think that anyone other than the successors of Peter would be qualified to continue it.
You’re welcome.
