Sorry. Wrong. The "keys of the kingdom of heaven" are indicative of Peter's authority. Totally biblical (and historical).
"First you have to accept the salvation that comes from the blood shed at the cross, and stop watching the pagan priest try to hang our Lord back on the cross every day to repeat the payment."
The first half of the sentence is exactly what the RCC teaches. The second half is total fantasy invented anti-Catholic nutcases.
"Then the spiritual gifts will open the kingdom to you. Youll never see it as long as you adhere to pagan traditions; they block the Holy Spirit from working."
The Church teaches NO "pagan traditions", and never has. Stop reading Jack Chick and Jimmy Swaggart anti-catholic BS, and actually learn what the RCC REALLY teaches.
That's it??? The 'keys' were given to show Peter had authority???
Totally wrong.
There is no authority but the Lord himself. Each of us report directly to the Father, under the authority of the Son. There are no middle men in the Kingdom.
And Yah'shua still has the keys in Revelation 1:18.The verb in Matthew 16:19 is future tense.
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua
