Peter, the Rock, the Keys, and the Chair - Steve Ray

Biblical scholar and Holy Land pilgrimage leader Steve Ray delves into the Jewish roots of the papacy, namely “the keys”, “the rock”, and “the chair”. Ray, a former Baptist, draws from his trips to the Holy Land to bring to life the commissioning of Peter as the first pope using vivid historical and contextual highlights.

About the Deep in History Talks from the CHNetwork:
Why should we go deep in history? As generations before us have learned, history is the laboratory for thinking about the issues that matter most to us as human beings. By placing ourselves back into another time, we are able to look at our own time with more objectivity; we see its strengths and weaknesses. For Christians, there is the additional truth that ours is a historical faith. Christianity is rooted in the historical facts of Jesus's life. The Church which is his body has lived, grown, and matured in space and time. The surest way to know Jesus and his Church is through the study of history, both biblical and post-biblical.
We hope these resources take you deep into the history of Christ's Church and thereby deeper into Christ. Please visit:

Tears in my eyes after hearing this.

And one day happened to read John 6: 53-54 about Lord's Supper of true followers on earth and the Apostles started this in Acts 2:46 and Revelation 19:6-9 the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with His true followers in Heaven. I have to go back where i came from to be invited with that feast in heaven. And never again in my life the peace of mind, heart and soul I have ever experienced. And sometimes after Holy Communion I just burst into tears of joy knowing that Jesus is waiting for me with that Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven.

Derived from the Greek Πετρος (Petros)meaning "stone". This is a translation used in most versions of the New Testament of the name Cephas, meaning "stone" in Aramaic, which was given to the apostle Simon by Jesus (compare Matthew 16:18 and John 1:42). Simon Peter was the most prominent of the apostles during Jesus' ministry and is often considered the first pope. Due to the renown of the apostle, this name became common throughout the Christian world (in various spellings). In England the Normans introduced it in the Old French form Piers, which was gradually replaced by the spelling Peter starting in the 15th century.

Please understand, the "rock" is Jesus, not Peter (the "rock" refers to God / Jesus in the OT and NEW). The "keys to the kingdom of Heaven" is Jesus and repentance and belief in Jesus, and the loosing and binding means to do on earth what is already ordained by God in heaven.

[@aughalough1]

@@jedimasterham2, Jesus gave Peter special authority among the apostles (John 21:15-17) and signified this by changing his name from Simon to Peter, which means "rock" (John 1:42). He said Peter was to be the rock on which he would build his Church (Matt. 16:18). In Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, Simon’s new name was Kepha (which means a massive rock). Later this name was translated into Greek as Petros (John 1:42) and into English as Peter. Christ gave Peter alone the "keys of the kingdom" (Matt. 16:19) and promised that Peter’s decisions would be binding in heaven. He also gave similar power to the other apostles (Matt. 18:18), but only Peter was given the keys, symbols of his authority to rule the Church on earth in Jesus’ absence. Christ, the Good Shepherd, called Peter to be the chief shepherd of his Church (John 21:15-17). He gave Peter the task of strengthening the other apostles in their faith, ensuring that they taught only what was true (Luke 22:31-32). Peter led the Church in proclaiming the gospel and making decisions (Acts 2:1- 41, 15:7-12). Early Christian writings tell us that Peter’s successors, the bishops of Rome (who from the earliest times have been called by the affectionate title of "pope," which means "papa"), continued to exercise Peter’s ministry in the Church. The pope is the successor to Peter as bishop of Rome. The world’s other bishops are successors to the apostles in general.

Rose Stella The Rock is first mentioned here: Exodus 17 The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 So they quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.”Moses replied, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?”But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink. We know whos this Rock is1 Corinthians 10:4For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. See the importance of the Rock here, standing on the righteousness of it Exodus 33:18And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.” The same message heres of righteousness here:Psalm 92:15the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Moses, Isaiah and David all tell us clearly who the Rock is- it is God: Deuteronomy 32:3 I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise the greatness of our God!He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. Isaiah 44:8 Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one. 2 Samuel 22:2 2“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;3 The God of my strength, in whom I will trust;My shield and the horn of my salvation,My stronghold and my refuge;My Savior, You save me from violence.... 32 For who is God, except the Lord?And who is a rock, except our God? See also Pslam 18 Luke tells us who the Rock is: Luke 6:46 ““But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Then we come to Matthew: Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter (Petros), and on this rock (petra) I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Greek added by me) Now if you read this on its own there are clearly three interpretations: 1) Peter is the Rock 2) Jesus is the Rock 3) Peter's faith in Jesus is the rock It would have been clearer if the writer had said "you are Peteros and on this Petros...". Its speculative to say there was not more than one word for rock in Aramaic- clearly there could have been such distinctions. But nonetheless, the writer's of the New Testament leave us no room for speculations Paull tell us who the foundation is: 1 Corinthians 3:10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. But it is Peter himself who is explicit: 1 Peter 2:4 As you come to him, the living Stone-rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him- you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone,and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and, “A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.” There you have it! Peter calls Jesus the rock. Peter, himself, makes no claim that we need to be connected specifically and personally to Jesus. Its clear Paul thought that too, otherwise he would not have openly rebuked and challenged Peter for hypocrisy (Galatians 2:11). Remember this dear brothers and sisters, the Rock is God, is Christ, alone, no other. To him we are connected directly, no other mediator is needed (1 timothy 2:5). Psalm 61:2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Love and peace

[@RoseCarmelStella]

I am looking to identify The Church that Jesus Christ Himself founded. It was clear He Founded a Church. It has to have a name and it has to survive over 2,000 years and is still standing today as testimony.

[@JuanIsaReady]

Rose Stella Hi! Its a great question! The Church that Jesus founded was based on faith. As such, you cannot see it with your eyes, or know it by your physical senses only. Its not like a political instituion, whose headquarters are in x place. The Head of the Church is Jesus Christ Himself (Ephesians 5:23); and no other man. There were many churches, even at the time of the writing of the New Testament (eg. see Revelation 2 to Revelation 3). The test becomes, what shows whether a person is saved, whether a person is part of Jesus' Body, whether he is part of His Church. Its a big question, but ultimately, to know this, it is about whether someone has completely surrender their life to Jesus, believe in Him, believed in His death and resurrection, and made Him Lord of their life (this means that for everything in their life, this persons says "not my will, by your will be done)". When someone takes this step, it is described as a new birth in the Bible (eg. John 3) and God puts His Spirit into that person as they die to their old self, and recieve a new seed, a new heart. This is what it means to be part of God's Church. As you can see, salvation is a question of someone's heart (Romans 10:9; Jeremiah 29:13), therefore to ask the question which Church did Jesus found, it is really something only Jesus knows fully- He knows who are His, and one day He will separate the sheep from the goats (Matthew 25:31 onwards). So yes, as Romans 10:9 says, the first thing to check with someone is whether they have confessed Jesus as Lord, and then it might take a bit of time to know the person, to see if their heart is God's. But don't be confused, there's no denominational name given that allows you to be saved, not Catholic, not Proestant, not Orthodox (Revelation 3:1); but rather there is One Name you can be saved by (Acts 4:12)- "there is no other name...". I hope that answers your question, but if you would like any further explanation or discussion plesae feel free to contact. Blessings.

[@RoseCarmelStella]

Strange...where does it say in the Holy Bible that the Church Jesus founded cannot be seen or known by physical senses? Are you saying that This Church has no face, no identity, no leader, no authority, no council, no government, NO ORDER of any sort?! Are you saying that I can start my own Church and say that it's founded by Jesus Christ Himself? Is this faith that you proclaim so intangible that there is no physical proof of THE CHURCH that Jesus HIMSELF Founded? The New Agers would love you! They call it Christ Conciousness, in their own 'knowledge'. I am sorry, but I cannot continue to follow you into the wilderness.

[@JuanIsaReady]

Rose Stella Hi there. YOU: where does it say in the Holy Bible that the Church Jesus founded cannot be seen or known by physical senses? ME: In the sense that it is spiritual. Jesus Christ of course is part of the Church, because He is the Head, so at least He cannot be seen. Romans 8:19 and 2 Corinthians 4:7 may allude to it as well. But I understand, of course the Body of Christ has tangible effects in this world in bring healing, love and restoration into people's lives. YOU: Are you saying that This Church has no face, no identity, no leader, no authority, no council, no government, ME: No of course not, and I never said that. YOU: NO ORDER of any sort?! ME: No of course not. 1 Corinthians 12, 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1 are all examples of the order that needs to be in place. The main order is that Christ has to be the Head of the Church, as the Bible emphatically shows (Ephesians 5:23, Colossians 1:18). YOU: Is this faith that you proclaim so intangible that there is no physical proof of THE CHURCH that Jesus HIMSELF Founded? ME: See my first answer. YOU: They call it Christ Conciousness, in their own 'knowledge' ME: Of course to be Christ conscious is a good thing as both of us would hopefully agree. But to adopt the New Age spin on it is clearly wrong, see here: www.gotquestions.org/Christ-consciousness.html YOU: I cannot continue to follow you into the wilderness. ME: YOu shouldn't follow me. You should follow Christ and the Word He has given us. He has brought me out of the wilderness, and I found that His Word is faithful. Blessings, a brother in Christ.

Please understand, the "rock" is Jesus, not Peter (the "rock" refers to God / Jesus in the OT and NEW). The "keys to the kingdom of Heaven" is Jesus and repentance and belief in Jesus, and the loosing and binding means to do on earth what is already ordained by God in heaven.

[@Aryalanae]

@@jedimasterham2please listen to the whole lecture. Why do you believe Jesus is wrong by naming Simon to Rock? In the New Testament of my Faith, we wrote down that Jesus is called the Cornerstone. The reason why God gave Simon a new name is because he was fulfilling the Davidic Kingdom. Please listen to Dr Brant Pitre on this subject. He goes into a lot more depth on the subject. God bless

@@jedimasterham2No. You must understand that your interpretation is wrong. Read Matthew 16:17-19. Note seriously the grammatical structure. These are words of Jesus addressed to Peter and underline the multiple instances of “you” (meaning Peter) and the movement of magnifying the person of Peter. Your denial of rock and key as not referring to Peter is out of place and illogical. Your interpretation is just biased and prejudiced because you deny the authority of the Pope. You must get out of the darkness of your anti-Catholicism and turn into the light of Catholic truth. Convert or revert to the Catholic Church which is the original, true, and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself some 2000 years ago.

Outstanding presentation. That being said I would gently mention to Mrs. Ray that the Catholics were in fact telling the truth while she was growing up ... but one had to be in the vicinity to hear it ... or looking for it ... or have a Catholic speaker invited into a Protest environment to get the view. Venerable Archbishop Fulton J Sheens TV talks were my 1st introduction to something 'Catholic' as well as the West Bend Grotto in Iowa. In my Protest family Bishop Sheen was quickly put on the NO WATCH TV list once I indicated interest in what he was saying, and at the Grotto no one would take me to the Catholic Church on the grounds to see what was inside...I felt something drawing me there ... but was reluctant to leave the group on my own ... [Wish I'd had the courage at the time]. He got me later though. Thank you Lord

What a very eloquent preacher of God for Catholic Church, defending its doctrines against its accusers. God is so merciful of sending you so Catholic members can be spiritually enlightened and educated and all other people who have not found the true Church yet founded by Jesus Christ through Saint Peter whom Christ had entrusted the keys of heaven. It's our fervent prayer that you can travel around the world preaching the teachings of the Catholic Church and strengthening the faith of those Catholics whose knowledge about the church's doctrines is very shallow that is why they become the easy prey of other religious sects that are claiming they're the true church more especially the INC founded by FYM. With the growing number of Catholic apologists, the Church now can expose the false teachings of those bogus churches attacking the Catholic Church of malicious and blasphemous accusations. God bless you Bro. Steve with more Divine Wisdom and Guidance that you can continue this enormous task of evangelization.

+Tim Spangler Let me confess, I am not a trained person in Bible or Churches doctrine, but I belief what I believe. There is indeed only one real person and that is Jesus. There is no doubt about it if we are a christian. Everything becomes so clear and simple if seek him with openness and simplicity. Besides Him there can be only inspired saints. I belief in Jesus, the Bible and the church, because He never wanted to have churches, but He said let all of you be One as Me and My Heavenly father is one. And I belief, He did not also come to teach us a way of life but reveal the Father to us, for me faith is that simple and clear, but to regulate my belief there has to be an authority, who can be a better guide than the church, which is His Mystical Body.

[@Prancer1231]

You made the right choice and have far more wisdom than the likes of Tim here. Tim's sole purpose in life is to lead people away from the Catholic Church.

[@kainosktisis777]

@@tony1685 Catholicism wasn’t created til Constantine? Really? I think you have omitted a great deal here: From St Ignatius of Antioch’s Letter to the Smyrnaeans written ca. 107 AD: “Chapter 8. Let nothing be done without the bishop See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, *wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church* . It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.” Catholic means universal, & it comes from the Greek From “What Does Catholic Mean?” (CA): “The Word Catholic Defined Catholic comes from the Greek katholikos, the combination of two words, kata (concerning), and holos (whole). According to the Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology, the word catholic comes from a Greek word meaning “regarding the whole,” or, more simply, “universal” or “general.” The word church comes from the Greek ecclesia, which means “those called out,” as in those summoned out of the world at large to form a distinct society. So the Catholic Church is made up of those called out and gathered into the universal society founded by Christ.” So St Ignatius’ Letter (Epistle) is probably the earliest example of the Catholic Church referenced, thereby refuting the claim that it was Constantine’s creation. There is also this from the Book of Acts in the original Koine Greek - using the Lexicon from BibleHub: Acts 5:11 - "holen ten ekklesian" - nominative - translated as "The Whole Church" biblehub (dot) com/text/acts/5-11.htm Acts 9:31 - εκκλησια καθ'ολης (ekklesia kathholes) - Catholic is also an adjective, but it modifies the words following it, best translated as "the Church throughout the whole of..." biblehub (dot) com/text/acts/9-31.htm Acts 15:22 - "holen ten ekklesian" - nominative - translated as "The Whole Church" biblehub (dot) com/text/acts/15-22.htm Something else to consider: From NewAdvent on the Book of the Acts of the Apostles: www.newadvent (dot) org/cathen/01117a.htm “Date of composition As regards the date of the Book of Acts, we may at most assign a probable date for the completion of the book. It is recognized by all that Acts ends abruptly. The author devotes but two verses to the two years which Paul spent at Rome. These two years were in a certain sense uneventful. Paul dwelt peaceably at Rome, and preached the kingdom of God to all who went in unto him. It seems probable that during this peaceful epoch St. Luke composed the Book of Acts and terminated it abruptly at the end of the two years, as some unrecorded vicissitude carried him out into other events. The date of the completion of Acts is therefore dependent on the date of St. Paul's Roman captivity. Writers are quite concordant in placing the date of Paul's coming to Rome in the year 62; hence the year 64 is the most probable date for the Acts.” If the earliest dates hold sway, that means that the word “Catholic” was already being used within 3 decades of Pentecost - making it even earlier than St. Ignatius’ Letter to the Smyrnaeans… Thoughts…? 🤔

I attended a Baptist Church for about 2 years. I have to admit I got sucked in but over time I didn't like what I was hearing for what man of *GOD* condemns another Religion The pastor sadly had no knowledge of the *Catholic Church/Faith*. I came *HOME* to *The One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church*.

[@edwinmalachy]

amen brother. (those"Christian"who hate Catholics give poor testimony for their so-called faith")

[@edwinmalachy]

+tim spangler she got sucked in to the lies & half truths. (particularly what they say about the one HOLY Catholic & apostolic Church).

[@Jaisee14]

tim spangler My point was clear. The *Baptists* know how to read people and at that time I was going through a very dark period in my life. Many of these *Baptist Bible Cults* look for those who are *Weak* for lack of a better word and know exactly what to say to that person to suck them in and then start the process of *Brainwashing*. Over time I seen exactly what was going on and I got out. There *Doctrine is Manmade* and they interpret the *Bible* the way they see fit in order to keep you from leaving. They also alienate you from your *Non~Baptist Friends and Family*. I am grateful that the *Lord* guided me back to *His One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church*. Hopefully that clears it up for you. *Blessings*

I’m sure you could find a few different commandments that are broken by keeping Sunday. That’s why the Bible says if you break one commandment you break them all.

So in the 20th Century God foresaw the abandonment of belief, increase in sects, new age, occults, etc. thus mankind, in general, need help to even reach a state of grace for salvation. Justine Klutz, a German mystic, who Jesus revealed the THE ACT OF LOVE prayer. This prayer is an extension of the prayer revealed by Jesus to Sister Consolata Betrone: "Jesus, Mary, I love you! Save souls!" Consolata's prayer promised the salvation of one soul each time it is said. Jesus now asks us to pray the following, while USING the word THOUSAND, and promises the salvation of a thousand souls! This is how He asks us to pray: Jesus, Mary, I love you! Save priestly souls, save souls, I beseech You, and grant me to repeat this ACT OF LOVE A THOUSAND TIMES With my every breath, my every heartbeat. This is why Jesus defines this prayer a "nuclear part without equal... always begin the day like this and never call it otherwise!... I give you the word "thousand.” It has never been this way! It is a gift of love of my divine soul... everyone is called to make this ACT OF LOVE. This is why it has to be spread and let be spread. It will become a giant flame, I promise you. Start with courage and always include the word "THOUSAND"! You cannot imagine what you bring about with this ... "They are my words," says Jesus. "I wrote them into your heart." Let us trust in His infinite mercy, and adopt this new consignment to save those who risk losing their souls, by praying the Act of Love. Note: Imprimatur e Vicariatu Urbis, die 29.11.13

Everything in this Video is so easily disproven. First thing I want to address- At around 26:50 he says that pure water flows out from the rock of Peter, which is the teachings of the true Church which we can trust even 2000 years later… that it is the Sacraments of the Church that flow out of this rock… What does the bible say? Aside from all the other scriptures that can be sighted which clearly show that the LORD IS THE ONLY ROCK, it is also clear that he is the source of pure water, of pure teaching. He is the living Word of God. So too the scriptures are the living, inspired Word of God. The eternal Word of God is the ONLY source of "pure water", of pure teachings. 1 Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. Second thing, Peter and the "keys". In addition to the WRONG ROCK and the WRONG source of "pure water", The Catholic Church also has the WRONG "keys". First of all, have a look at Revelation 3 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Who holds the key? This was written in the written in present tense in approx 90AD. Christ had the key of David and says "NO MAN" can open or close what Christ has opened and closed. Notice that it is THIS KEY, the key of David that opens and shuts, not the "keys" of heaven and the power to bind and loose, that is mentioned in Isaiah 22. Further, in Matthew 18 Christ tells a multitude of disciples that the too are given the power to bind and loose in heaven and on earth. Matthew 18 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Another point regarding Isaiah 22. Compare these two verses and then tell me if you think Isaiah 22 was a foreshadowing of CHRIST, or of Peter - Isaiah 22 21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. Isaiah 9 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Another - Matthew 2 6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Is this speaking about CHRIST, or Peter?

I am a cradle Catholic, I cannot quote a biblical verse, as well as knowing the writer, the chapter and verse number, but I can tell the story on how the Biblical people live. If I go to hear Mass every day, I would know every day what the Readings meant through the Sermons and Homilies from the priest and try to live by it. My father who was a member of Catholic Faith Defender, he knew the verses, the writer, the chapters and verse numbers because it is expected of him to be able to defend our faith.
