Where does it say pope in the Bible? Where in the Bible did Christ give primacy to Peter? Matthew 16:18 is the verse let's look at it
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter (Πέτρος), and upon this rock (πέτρᾳ) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:16-18
Concordance of Petra and petros 4073 pétra (a feminine noun) – "a mass of connected rock," which is distinct from 4074 (Pétros) which is "a detached stone or boulder"
One is like a foundation stone ( petra, rock) and the other is a building stone ( Petros, Peter).
Jesus asked in verse 15 "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?"
The reply Peter gave was the Son of God, upon this statement that Jesus was the Son of God is the foundation of the church. Peter is a building stone being built upon the foundation.
To recap the rock that Christ built his church on is the fact he is the Son of God! Not Peter, Peter is not the rock!
So it was poetic wordplay from Jesus
On the laws of hermeneutics we have to interpret scripture with scripture. So here are a few verses that support the claims I have made, there are others if you care to look on the internet.
1 Peter 1:1 Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ
Here Peter is an apostle not pontifex maximus, Peter the rock or the head apostle, he is equal to the others.
Rev 21:14. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Here we have 12 equal portions one for each apostles. Peter was equal to the others
Matthew 19:27
Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel
Here each apostle has a throne, showing equality amongst them.
1 Peter 2:6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."
Here we have Peter saying that God has made Jesus the chief cornerstone.
There are no verses that support the claim that Jesus built his church on Peter.
There was a Petrine church in Rome bit it was heavily persecuted by Romans. Constantine came along hundreds of years later with no succession from Peter and changed his position of Roman Emperor to the office of the Pope.
They then found a loophole in scripture to exploit Christianity for their own benefit. On the backs of this is countless genocides, persecutions, tortures, child abuse, overthrowing countries, undermining genuine apostolic churches under Rome, burning alive the saints etc to make Rome remain supreme over the millennia.
