Well he's the spiritual daddy of Christians on earth, appointed by Jesus Himself. 😁
Chapter and verse please, let's see where it says that in the bible!
;)
It's been a while since we've had a good ol' fashioned debate. Nothing but love for ya' Artgirl.
Oh come on, you know Jesus gave him the keys to the Kingdom. 😆 People even think St. Peter will welcome them in Heaven once they die because of that verse. Or maybe you prefer the "upon this rock I will build my church" verse?
The one where Jesus called him Satan a few verses after? lol
Gotta give me more than that. ;)
What you don't accept those Bible verses as proof already? 😆 Then what else is there to say...
Work with me here...
Upon this Rock, I will build my church. Rock = Christ. Rock = God throughout the entire bible. Don't take my word for it, do a search for yourself.
You claim the rock (petros, small stone) is what Christ builds his church on, but then a few verses later, Christ tells Peter that Satan is in him and he needs to repent.
So which is it...Rock = Christ which the church is built on. Or fallen man?
Man has always been a fallen creature, meaning due to original sin we will never be perfect until we become saints thru union with Christ.
This scenario where Jesus said He will build the Church on St. Peter as the rock and also the verse where He gave the keys to the Kingdom is why we have a Pope. Even if one commits a sin like Peter did, God can forgive when they ask forgiveness and repent. It was Jesus who chose him so why do people question/reject it? If we can't accept what Jesus instituted then something's wrong somewhere.
Also, the answer to your questions are all over the internet. Just look for those from reputable Catholic sources and you're on your way!
But He didn't, that's the point. The entire Catholic church is built on poor exegesis of that verse. Rock = God in the entire bible. the Greek word used by Christ when he addressed Peter is petros, which is not Rock but small stone. The Rock is Christ.
Also did you not realize that you just answered the question on why St. Catherine of Siena said what she said?
"a few verses later, Christ tells Peter that Satan is in him and he needs to repent."
That is exacly what she means.
yeah i’m not bowing to any man. and i’m most definitely not bowing to satan.
