metmom: "However, there is more than one interpretation of that verse."

Got it, ALL translations of Scripture have Jesus Christ giving Peter the keys to Heaven and, surprise, surprise, Protestants have figured out a way to say that this wasn't all that significant.

Not being a member of any Protestant church, there is no way I think or agree that this not of significance. Peter used the keys and open the way to heaven on Pentecost in his sermon. So did all the other apostles in turn. To be a follower of the Apostles in this way one should do just as the Apostles did and proclaim the Good News! That's the sum of it, take it or leave it. It didn't make Peter a Pope or infallible, although what he proclaimed was infallible because it was the Holy Spirit moving him to speak the words of God to the people.

You know what? If that’s what you believe and it’s working for you, that’s great. I really don’t care; as I said earlier, I’m done with this thread.

Bravo! Amen!!
