Also, way to dodge the point I brought up. ... For those who ignore Scripture, and make up their own religion.

Dodge makes trucks. Where did you make a point?

All I saw was Roman Catholic "talking points", and you unqualified opinion.

I don't follow any "religion". I am a Christian.

Haha ok. You got your precious “last word”.

Still doesn’t change the fact that the clear parallel between Matt 16:18-19 and Isa 22:21-22 exists no matter what you say. The two are clearly related, to anyone who has no agenda to protect.

But hey, again, you got that precious “LAST WORD”! Yay, YOU!

What church did Christ establish, when he told Peter “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mat 6:18 "

What church are you to take your issues, when Paul said "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

What Church is the pillar an foundation of truth? “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15

Be specific. Which Church?

It is Luke a disciple of fChrist's Church -- the Catholic Church -- who tells us:

Reading 1 Acts 11:19-26

Those who had been scattered by the persecution
that arose because of Stephen
went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch,
preaching the word to no one but Jews.
There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however,
who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well,
proclaiming the Lord Jesus.
The hand of the Lord was with them
and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
The news about them reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem,
and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch.
When he arrived and saw the grace of God,
he rejoiced and encouraged them all
to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart,
for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith.
And a large number of people was added to the Lord.
Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch.
For a whole year they met with the Church
and taught a large number of people,
and it was in Antioch that the disciples
were first called Christians.

If Barnabas and Paul could belong to a Church -- why can't you?
