No, it was not said, “There are no more”. If more “keys to the Kingdom were used then the question is what and where and by whom?

By the successors to Peter.

Just as it was written as

“So we stand here and with open mouth stare heavenward and invent still other keys. Yet Christ says very clearly in Matt 16:19 that he will give the keys to Peter. He does not say he has two kinds of keys, but he gives to Peter the keys he himself has and no others. It is as if he [Christ] were saying:’ why are you staring heavenward in search of the keys? Do you not understand I gave them to Peter? They are indeed the keys of heaven, but they are not found in heaven. I left them on earth. Don’t look for them in heaven or anywhere else except in Peter’s mouth where I have placed them. Peter’s mouth is my mouth, and his tongue is my key case. His office is my office, his binding and loosing are my binding and loosing’ ”

“By the successors to Peter.”

That assumes that there are successors to Peter with his authority, a teaching not in the Scriptures.

“Just as it was written as” .. by whom and by what authority?

Getting back to what I asked, Have I the tenses wrong? If you don't know just say so, no harm done. If other “keys” were used, what and where? and by whom?

If you don't know I'm not going to try to verbally beat on you and if you do know, please no more unattributed quotes, really.
