"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Peter started the Catholic Church at the direction of Jesus, asshole!
Peter was not a pope. He was a disciple and those Words of Jesus were stating that the Church was to be built upon the Rock Jesus Christ, not upon Peter. The Catholic Church came about years later and was not authorized by Jesus. The church referenced here are those who have trusted in Jesus as their personal Saviour.
Thank you for adding context. This is exactly what most Catholics miss the most. They fail to deep dive scriptures and would rather take what they've heard and use that for truth. Catholics have always butchered this scripture. I'm not sure it could be taken more out of context.
I'm with you, doug. I don't care for being called a member of a cult. But, I guess that makes Jesus the cult leader. And preaches love and forgiveness and to live your life according to Jesus's teachings. I haven't seen any secret rituals in church. It is best shared in families. I turned away from it as I entered adult life but returned as I had kids of my own to raise. They didn't ostracize me for leaving and welcomed me back with open arms. Not much of a cult. Peter was the first pope, chosen by Jesus to be the leader of the church on earth. And the apostles were given the holy spirit to preach His message and grow His flock. Pretty simple. Can there be bad popes? Sure. They are the same imperfect sinful humans as us.
Peter was not the first pope. The Bible says nothing like that. You are repeating what you have been taught through catholicism. Peter was a disciple who followed Jesus' teachings, and according to the Scriptures, Peter was married. Why would a church be built on a mere man. It is built upon the Rock Jesus Christ who was and is and always will be the Only Begotten Son of the Holy God. The foundation for our faith is built upon the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Don't tell me what I think or why I think it. I don't repeat shit. I have my own mind and my own eyes. I read the Bible on my own to know what it says to me.
2nd weirdest cult behind the baby dick blood drinkers
Matthew 16:18-19 New King James Version:
"And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

name calling will win you arguments
where is the word "pope" in the Bible?
All over the place. Pope means papa.
you are so misinformed that it gives me a headache
I thought Constitine started the Catholic church? I don't think he said, "Catholic church" in that verse.
They wear the same hats...
