Jesus is the rock. No man is that. His church is built on Him and I am not talking about the Catholic one. He knew no man is perfect. Do not let a man take the place of Him. Like I have said on here before, “Jesus is the answer, the only answer.”. He is the only forgiver of sin. Some on here depend on man and a church way too much. I had a very hard day yesterday because it was the 11th anniversary of my daughter’s death. When I turned my pain and sadness over to Him, I felt much better. I know He is the answer.
So sorry Mama, for your loss and the pain you have gone through. Sorry.
Which is why when Jesus says that Peter is the rock on which he will build his church, so be it.
He is the only forgiver of sin.
And when [Jesus] had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” (John 20:22, 23)I accept Jesus at his words. Will not you?
