And can you tell me HOW you know they're "MIS-translated"

Well...

We've got all those YOU's in Matthew that are, apparently, different in the Greek. The English does not indicate the singularity or plurality of them.

Matthew 16:15-19

No... but the Latin does, and the Greek does (and older English does--such as the KJV or the Douay-Rheims, in the distinction between "you/ye" and "thou/thee", etc.). Here's a breakdown of the Greek words, in Matthew 16:15-19:

[Jesus]said to them, "But who do you [humeis = "ye" or "you", plural] say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You [su = "thou", singular] are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you [ei = "thou art", singular], Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you [soi = to thee, singular], but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you [soi = to thee, singular],you [su = "thou", singular] are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. [19] I will give you [soi = to thee, singular]the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind [deses = thou might bind, singular] on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [luses = thou might loose, singular]on earth shall be loosed in heaven."


So, where are the errors, again? I'm not following your idea.
