True. In Matthew 16 Jesus says this to Peter, and in Matthew 18 He repeats it to all the disciples. However, when given a wide open, golden opportunity to designate Rome as anything special, Jesus took the opposite tack:

John 4:

21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

I’m not going to play Bible back and forth with you. I just don’t bother to do the so-called debate with FR non-Catholics because quite frankly it is a waste of my time.

You believe that the only revelation given by God to His Church was through the written word. You limit God and deny oral teachings that He has given to His Church through His apostles and disciples via Sacred Tradition.

Sola Scriptura is heretical.
