I mean, it literally blows my mind the argument took ~1500 years to discover. That was God’s plan? To allow the Apostles to, “get it wrong” for a millennia and a half? Only to have Martin Luther (not Jesus) course correct it? Without even opening my Bible, it already makes zero sense.

It didn't take 1500 years.. it was rejected right from the start of its insidious beginnings. The only one to agree that Rome had all these extra powers was... oh surprise... Rome itself. Trent plays a double standard card here. He says the other guy has to prove Peter himself isn't the rock Jesus was referring to. Why? It's on Trent and other to prove this fact.

A Protestant, a Catholic and an Orthodox walk into a diner. They are seated and handed the menu. The menu only has bread and wine says the protestant. The Catholic says good and orders bread and wine. The Orthodox says good, and orders wine and bread. The Protestant meanwhile studies the menu meticulously. Once the order arrives both The Catholic and Orthodox say a prayer, cross themselves and eat their meal. The Protestant looks at them in disdain and starts eating the menu....

@ Jesus didn’t. It was the translation that caused the difference. If you watch the video Trent explains that Jesus said “Kefas” (which is Aramaic for rock) both times. I hope this helps :)

[@vtaylor21]

I don't know why people make that type of petros/petra argument. Make it seem like Peter is competing with Jesus to be the main foundation. Also, why do Protestants separate Peter’s confession from Peter? If his confession is the foundation, that makes Peter the foundation since he made the confession.

[@johnisaacfelipe6357]

His confession literally made him into Peter, He and his confession are inseparable

[@newglof9558]

This argument could be construed as a type of Nestorianism. If Peter's confession of faith can be separated from Peter the person, is there a person of Peter with faith (who makes the confession) and one without faith (who doesn't)? In what other instances can and has a confession been separated from the confessor?

[@joshy3614]

I think their point with separating his confession from him is that Jesus is saying “all people’s confessions are the foundation of the Church”, keeping in mind the warped Protestant definition of “the Church” as simply being “all true believers”

He did not aspire to be equal with God, “did not meditate a usurpation” of the throne of the universe (see Phil. 2:5-7 ARV), but He emptied Himself, gave Himself, then and there, for sinners. He took the form of a servant, becoming an angel among the angels that He might redeem angels; but they would not. And when they rejected the righteousness and life so freely offered, He descended lower still to those duped by Satan-fallen man-stooping even to death, that He might redeem of the fallen all who desired to be redeemed, and vindicate to the universe to all eternity the character of God. That was the work of the Word of God, the eternal Logos, when He became Michael the Archangel, when He became Jesus the Man of Nazareth, when He was anointed the Christ, when He died our Sacrifice on Calvary. Yet during all this time the hosts of evil, with all the baleful, deceptive, cruel devices of sin, were hurled against Him, that God’s character might be marred, that the great Vindicator-Redeemer might fall.”-Signs of the Times, June 6, 1911 And this is merely one of countless quotes I could show you.

[@Scientist_Albert_Einstein]

🤣 The protestant heresy about Petros and Petra is rampant! Anyone who uses this argument to claim that Petros is a small rock and that petra is a big Rock knows nothing about Greek names! In Greek, the Greek names have gender specific grammar, for example: Alexios (Αλέξιος) and Alexa (Αλεξία) notice how male names end with "OS" and female names end with "A". In fact, there is not a single Greek name for males that end with "A" and I will give you 1 million dollars if you can find one! Examples of these are the well known and common Greek names for males and females respectively: Alexandros (Αλέξανδρος) and Alexandra (Αλεξάντα) Angelos (Άγγελος) and Angela (Άντζελα) Adelphos (Αδελφός) and Adelpha (Αδελφά) Agathos (Αγάθος) and Agatha (Αγκάθα) Alandros (Άλανδρος) and Alandra (Αλάνδρα) Theodoros (Θεόδωρος) and Theodora (Θεοδώρα) Demetrios (Δημήτριος) and Demetria (Δημήτρια) Augustos (Αύγουστος) and Augusta (Αυγούστα) Linos (Λίνος) and Lina (Λίνα) Anastasios (Αναστάσιος) and Anastasia (Αναστασία) Petros (Πέτρος) and Petra (Πέτρα) For example, suppose Jesus had given Simon the nickname "messenger", how will the Greek language translate this nickname? Will Simon get the Greek name Angela? or will Simon get the name Angelos? Obviously Simon would get the name "Angelos" because he is a male! Nobody will dare call Simon "Angela." The Greek text will never have called Simon as: "And I tell you that you are Angela...." The same thing applies to the other names: The Greek text will never have called Simon as: "And I tell you that you are Alexandra (Αλεξάντα) The Greek text will never have called Simon as: "And I tell you that you are Alexa (Αλεξία) The Greek text will never have called Simon as: "And I tell you that you are Anastasia (Αναστασία) The Greek text will never have called Simon as: "And I tell you that you are Petra (Πέτρα) The protestants are pure madness! The Greek text will use the correct GENDER for the person: The Greek text uses the correct GENDER and the translator would have called Simon as: "And I tell you that you are Alexandros (Αλέξανδρος) The Greek text uses the correct GENDER: "And I tell you that you are Alexios (Αλέξιος) The Greek text uses the correct GENDER: "And I tell you that you are Anastasios (Αναστάσιος) The Greek text uses the correct GENDER: "And I tell you that you are Petros (Πέτρος) Most protestants are from English speaking countries where you do not have gender specific words. These protestants are preaching 2 lies in one! They butcher the Greek language and preach a false gospel from the one Jesus and the apostles preached for 2000 years! For 2000 years the gospel in Matthew 16:18 has said: "And I tell you that you are rock and on this rock I will build my church..." As simple as that!

The term hierourgeō in Romans 15:16 cannot easily be interpreted in a "priesthood of all believers" framework because it: Is tied to Paul's unique apostolic mission. Uses language that evokes Old Testament priestly functions. Highlights a mediatory and sacrificial role, which the universal priesthood does not entail. This supports the Catholic interpretation that ministerial roles, such as the priesthood, have a distinct and sacred function beyond the universal priesthood of all believers.

6:57 is such a bad argument from the Protestant 😅. No one denies that Peter was the first bishop of Rome, except for a crazy 16th century German monk and the Protestants that came after him.

And we also have numerous relics and artifacts that date back to Jesus's time. So if there actually was a rock in which Jesus said he would build the entire Christian church on, that would be the most important rock in the universe. Don't you think someone would have put that rock in a safe place and eventually built a church or shrine around it? The fact there is no artifact anywhere that claims to be the rock Jesus pointed to tells me it never existed. And that is the best evidence of all that this story about Jesus pointing to a rock on the ground and vowing to build his church upon it is a gross misinterpretation of scripture.

I think an often overlooked point we Catholics always underuse is the Jewish implication of the phrase "binding and loosing". This was an actual authority given specifically to people ebtrusted with the duty to interpret Scriptures AUTHORITATIVELY. Kepha was given Asur ve-Matyr, he was given the Jewish authority of Midrash. He wasn't just given the authority to declare new doctrines but also to authoritatively interpret existing revelations. Furthermore, this authority did not end with the person's death in Jewish tradition, it was passed down through generations. In other words, Maran Isho M'shiha changed Simeon's name to Kepha and said that in this Kepha, he will build his Church. He then gave Kepha the authority of Asur ve-Matyr which is a divine authority to authoritatively interpret the Scriptures and this authority existed in the old covenant and was passed down from generations to generations.

[@vinciblegaming6817]

@ from my understanding, the keys and binding/loosing are given to Peter and binding/loosing is given to all the apostles. The Catholic magisterium has two forms it takes - the ordinary magisterium which is the universal agreement of all the bishops and theologians (binding/loosing to all apostles); and the extraordinary magisterium of ecumenical councils and papal official decree (a higher level of binding/loosing). In the Bible, the authority of teaching is given to presbyters/deaconois/episcopai (Hebrews 13?), but in Acts, we see those leaders defer to Peter in a council, after joint discussion and Peter’s final declaration. We understand this as a hierarchy. Where the Pope does not bind/loose, the Bishop has that authority. Where the bishop does not bind/loose, the priest has that authority. Where the Priest does not bind/loose, the individual or the head of the family is bound by conscience, but has no authority over any other. The higher authority does not intercede to bind unless there is a dispute below him that must be addressed.

They always argue that Jesus was making a distinction between the two phrases "you are Peter" and "on this rock." The structure of Jesus' statement is very clear that He was not making any distinction at all. Notice that Matthew used the conjunction "and" to connect the two phrases: "you are rock AND on this rock". If Jesus was making a distinction, it would have been proper to use the conjunction "but": "you are Peter BUT on this rock". But that is not the case. "And" is not used to make a distinction/contrast but to add something. Trent, I remember when you rebutted this Mr. Todd?(not sure if I remember the name correctly) on this same issue, he was arguing the same: Jesus was making a distinction. According to Mr. Todd?, Jesus was actually saying, "you are rock BUT on this rock". And that is exactly the point! If Jesus used "but" instead of "and" then they have a valid argument. But Jesus did not use "but" but "and" meaning He was not making a distinction at all.

Matthew 16:17-20, Petra/petros was rarely used differently. Mainly in poetry. Tell me, if Christ wanted to rename Peter “small rock” as a joke, why not use “lithos”? And in John 1:42, Christ named Peter Cephas meaning rock. In Paul’s epistles Peter is called Cephas. Jesus was most likely speaking Aramaic when he was building his church upon Peter. Many Protestant scholars admit that Petra and petros was used interchangeably

No. In all things that belong to earthly magnificence, you have succeeded not Peter, but the Emperor Constantine!”

Can you explain? ..... IF THE BIBLE IS A CATHOLIC BOOK, THEN: Why does it condemn clerical dress? (Matt. 23:5-6; Luke 20:46). Why does the Bible teach against the adoration of Mary if the Bible is catholic? (Luke 11:27-28). Why does it show that all Christians are priests? (1 Pet. 2:5,9). Why does God's Word condemn the observance of special days if it's catholic? (Gal. 4:9-11). Why does the Bible teach that all Christians are saints if it's catholic? (1 Cor. 1:2). WHY is there no mention nor concept of a “pope” in God’s Word? If the Bible were truly catholic, WHY does it condemn the making and adoration of objects of worship, of graven images? (Ex. 20:4-5). WHY did the catholic church removed the 2nd commandment and then split the 10th commandment into 2 commandments? WHY does the Bible teach that baptism is immersion instead of sprinkling or pouring if the Bible is catholic? (Col. 2:12). If the Bible is truly catholic, WHY does it specifically forbid us to address religious leaders as "father"? (Matt. 23:9) If the Bible is truly catholic, WHY does it teach that Christ is the only foundation and not the apostle Peter? (1 Cor. 3:11). WHY does it address only God Himself as the "Holy Father"? (John 17:11) If the Bible is catholic, why does it teach that there is one mediator instead of many? (1 Tim. 2:5). If the Bible is catholic, why is the Bible completely silent about infant baptism, indulgence$, purgatory, confession to priests, the rosary, scapula, novena, holy days of obligation, the mass, and many other things taught by the Catholic Church? If the Bible is catholic WHY is the drinking of blood (eucharist/transubstantiation) forbidden in both testaments? (Leviticus 17; Acts 15) If the Bible is catholic, why then did the pope put the Bible on the Index of forbidden books in the 12th century? The roman catholic cult murdered in cold blood millions who preserved the Scriptures, the Bible. The Waldensians were part of those murdered. The Waldensians were hunted down and murdered. The cult of rome knew that if the average, common man got hold of the Bible, they (Rome) would be out of business. During the inquisitions, the catholic church murdered 63 million people, all who refused to come under the illegitimate authority of the pope. The catholic church has never apologize because they are unrepentant. How can any sane person defend this evil? For this cause divine judgment is coming, in “one hour.” The catholic church is described in detail in Revelation 17 and her coming destruction is in Revelation 18.

@@sammygomes7381so your saying Jesus contradicts the father then? Because Jesus clearly commands to drink his literal blood. The disciples question this and he doubles down.

@@bikesrcool_1958 My friend, either Christ contradicted and disobeyed the Father, or someone is teaching a false doctrine. See the apostles also forbid the drinking of blood in Acts 15 it is safe to say Christ is being misunderstood. If one also understood Jewish thought, it would help. In Jewish thought, bread was equated with the Torah, and "eating of it" was reading and understanding the covenant of God If Catholics don't worship Mary could you explain who this goddess and idol is in the following statement as there is no such person in the word of God. Catechism of the Catholic church 966 "Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians: In giving birth you kept your virginity; in your Dormition you did not leave the world, O Mother of God, but were joined to the source of Life. You conceived the living God and, by your prayers, will deliver our souls from death.

Pray for Greg to convert to Catholicism as he’s making fatal mistakes of interpreting Scripture for himself. St Peter warned against discerning Scripture for yourself as it leads to your destruction. Jesus Christ gave His authority and power, Doctrine, Sacraments, Gospel, Scripture and Sacred Traditions to His apostles and their direct successors, Catholic Priests. Only they have Gods authority to teach Gods Word, enact His Sacraments, Mass, cast out demons, heal, etc.

[@Bharatwasi1987]

I think the most important thing being a follower of Christ is Trusting Jesus as your Lord and saviour and try following his teachings. Whether a Catholic or Protestant. We have so much to fight spiritually and in the world. Debating and pointing our wrongs is the last important thing.

Trusting Jesus would mean trusting all of Jesus, that being that we trust that when he says "This is my body," without qualification, he means it to literally be his body.

I find it curious how the Protestant position on matters of Faith so often implies an unnecessary "this OR that", when it is perfectly possible and more coherent for it to be "this AND that" or "this BECAUSE of that".

[@Chicken_of_Bristol]

I've noticed this too, and I think it's really obvious if you also follow the channel of Trent's (good natured) nemesis HowToBeChristian. For the protestant to make their case, they need a standard higher than "here's an interpretation of scripture that is consistent with my view on this issue" they need to be able to say that their interpretation is the only possible interpretation because they do not accept an authority other than scripture to judge between interpretations. But obviously they can't do that because among protestants they can't even agree on the right interpretation on scripture on a lot of things. In this way, protestant arguments are almost always at best a motte and bailey fallacy.

[@livingmombirth4005]

Excellent! As a Latter-day Saint, I couldn't agree more with your analysis. Jesus actually organized his servants before He left this earth. Also, recently I began a study of Jesus's directives in the New Testament. I've been impressed that He is constantly challenging his listeners to do more, to overcome their own mortal weaknesses, and to stretch themselves to the "measure of the stature of [his] Fullness." I appreciate you bringing up that side note. If Paul talks of the race he runs, we better not think we can sit out our own races. I think Paul would be aghast that he is interpreted as saying merely to speak your belief is sufficient for salvation. Especially when, by example, he wore out his life in the service of the Lord.
