He gave them to Peter...

No, He says he will give them to Peter and further describes them as having the ability to bind and loose in Heaven and on Earth. When this is given, it is given to all of the Apostles as a group.

True enough.

and further describes them as having the ability to bind and loose in Heaven and on Earth. When this is given, it is given to all of the Apostles as a group.

Matthew 18:17-18, right? Taking that teaching as a whole, I see a lot of responsibility being given. Making that into a bestowing of authority to use as men will, sorry, just not there.
