You missed two important points. 1) Jesus also conferred upon Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven. This signifies full authority to bind or to loose - even to forgive sins in Jesus' name. 2) Jesus promised to send an "Advocate" (the Holy Spirit) to recall to mind all that I have taught you, lead you into all truth, and be with you forever. Naturally, the "papacy" does not look the same today as it did 2, 000 years ago. Twenty-eight of the first thirty-one popes were martyred. There has been the great schism and the reformation. But the "Papacy" via the seat of St. Peter still survives, still preaches what it has for almost 2, 000 years and does demonstrate that Christ's promise of the Advocate is still true. ALL other Christian denominations are manmade, and many have perished. When is the last time you shook hands with a Puritan, Shaker, Quaker, or French Huguenot?

Let me clarify this, he died in the year 331AD or AD but you have to know the years and this is where a lot of people don't know how to explain it. By 325AD Constantine before his death was already talking about a Roman Catholic Church. What happens is that after he dies in the year 384AD, which is 4 centuries later, the Catholic Church is made in Rome --- You read the scriptures well, it doesn't matter if he is Catholic or Protestant. The scriptures say very clearly that after the death of Christ. Christ appears to his disciples during the 40 days. And what is the conversation he has with them. Regarding the KINGDOM OF GOD, this was the important thing about all of this and that is the least that the church touches on, nor do they know how to explain well what the kingdom of God is, but that is another study.

They ask their Messiah: When are you going to establish the kingdom of Israel in Jerusalem? They didn't tell him in Rome, they didn't tell him in Syria, nor in Egypt. They were specific when you are going to establish the Kingdom of Israel in Jerusalem? what is it that we know today PALESTINE. Christ tells him to go to Rome and wait for the holy spirit. NO! He told him to go to JERUSALEM and wait for the promise. And what happens when the holy spirit falls on the disciples who now become Apostles. They begin to preach the message of the Kingdom of God of a sacrificed Christ and a resurrected Christ, now the message changes

He says that about 3, 000 people are converted, then they continue preaching and about 5, 000 people are converted. ALL of this is HAPPENING IN JERUSALEM, NOT IN ROME THE CHURCH BEGINS IN JERUSALEM the body of Christ begins in Jerusalem

No one was using the Catholic name at that time. What's more, Paul was not yet saved, all of this is happening to him. Now when God saves Paul some time passes because it didn't happen right away.

So I had to Paul learns so Paul writes a letter to the believers in ROME. But that does not mean that the Roman Catholic Church begins there. Because when you look at the Bible Paul also says that he writes the letters to the CHRISTIANS OF GALATIA. But no one says the Catholic church of GALATIA. I realized that people like to use that Paul writes to the BELIEVERS of Rome but they do not cite this when Paul writes to these BELIEVERS of GALATIA
Paul is not writing to a single Group that calls itself what exists today Roman Catholic that did not exist the church begins completely in Jerusalem and the scriptures do not lie they are converting in droves in Jerusalem, in Judea and even expands throughout Syria yet There was no church in Rome and that is the problem I have with many of my Catholic Christians.

I hope I have clarified and you were able to understand what I meant. Let's remember that many sects in the second and third centuries used the name Catholic in Greek to differentiate between Judaism and Christianity. But these things, the Catholic Church and Protestant Churches do not. they know. I'm going to be honest with you in the Catholic and Protestant churches, a lot of teaching is needed. There are few who know this too. Well, God bless you and God protect you.

The word "anti" in antichrist does not mean someone who is going to be openly anti (against) Christ. That word "anti" in the original Bible language can actually mean "IN PLACE OF". So could the bible antichrist be someone who has actually put himself "in place of" Christ? Well, we have further Bible evidence to support this. In 1 John 2:18-19 it says that there were "many antichrists", who "WENT OUT FROM THE CHURCH". In other words, John is pointing to the fact that those "antichrists" were WITHIN THE CHURCH!! Not only that, but Paul in 2 Thess. 2:3-4 calls the man of sin the "son of perdition". Now there is only one other place in the Bible where the name "son of perdition" is used, and that is in John 17:12 talking about JUDAS! And what was Judas? A professing follower of Christ Jesus. Someone who deceived from WITHIN the "church".
"The leader of the Catholic church is defined by the faith as the Vicar of Jesus Christ (and is accepted as such by believers). The Pope is considered the man on earth who TAKES THE PLACE of the Second Person of the omnipotent God of the Trinity." (John Paul II, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, p. 3, 1994).
"ANTI" - Christ = "IN PLACE OF" Christ!

For my Catholic brothers and sisters, you will be in my prayers. It’s ridiculous to claim Simon bar Yonah (Peter) as the first Pope, he was a Jew who observed the Sabbath, ate Kosher and attended God’s feast in the temple as did Yeshua (Jesus). Many in the Body accept this notion that“ On this Rock” I will build my Ekklesia ( Congregation) refers to Peter, this is furthest from the truth. Although his name was changed to Peter ( Petros/ small rock), Yeshua our Lord is referring to himself “The Rock” ( Petra, which mean big or massive rock), he’s the foundation. You see, our Lord is also called a Rock, Mountain, The Stone in the “ Old Testament”, so why would Yeshua give Peter the power and keys of his Dominion? Although Peter acknowledges Yeshua as the Messiah in that same passage, he was the cowardly one who denied our Lord 3 x’s before the Cock crowed ( Morning prayers) when things got heated. I pray brothers and sisters that you stand firm when things get heated…..Peter was a Tzadic, A Servant, an Apostle and an Elder, not the Succesor Principis Apostolorum ( Successor of the Prince of the Apostles) Blasphemous. Beside the Lord said not to call anyone on this earth “Father” only the one that sits on his heavenly throne. The office of the Pontifex Maximus uses a kind of subterfuge to gull the masses. Remember, this is the same pietistic office that stood right beside ruthless kings and rulers consenting to the eradication of many throughout the ages especially my Tzadic brethren. No one reaches the Heavenly Father but through Yeshua the Messiah. John 14:6

[nojlao-froh]

Seems like they have big misunderstanding or misinterpreting '' And I also Say to you that you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build my Church''. Did it Say like
1. Peter, You are the rock the church I will build.
2. Peter, you are the rock the church will be built.

[ScottPalmer-mpwe]

I get that an argument form silence isn't necessarily a clincher, however, it does seem strange that Peter never remotely claims to have any office like Pope in both of his epistles. I think that is telling.

[pragasamanthony]

Funny, Petrus Cephas never claimed to be Pope and demanded servitude and submission.In fact Apostle Paulus confronted him by chiding him for his fear of circumcised Jewish Christians.Further Apostle Peter and other Apostles addressed themselves as fellow servants of the gospel and disciples of YESHU [ Salvation] MESHIKHA [ The Anointed One ].The pagan Triune God was unknown to the disciples of Our Lord, as they preached only ADONAI ELOHEINU and YESHU MESHIKHA.

[ismaelhernandez]

This is not a moment in history. This is merely a commentary on a certain Protestant opinion concerning Peter and the papacy. This was an unsupported opinion expressed.

[blazel]

Another question…Peter was married, so how does the Catholic church get to priests who are not married? If who the Catholic church says was the first pope was married, then where does the restriction come from?

"When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever."
-Matthew 8:14, NIV

[angiejones]

Acts 2 is where Jesus began His Church. Jesus is the Church "I am the Way the truth and the Life" Jesus is Head of His Church, not the pope. Don't add to His word or take away from it. Which the catholic does both. The real 2nd commandment Thou shalt not have any graven images . Which catholic do, ( the rosary, worship of Mary, and yes even your pope) so many lost soul is so sad.

[wjfne]

Why do they ignore the question Jesus asks Peter, "who do you say I am, " and he answers “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” The rock that the church was to be built on was the unerring faith that Peter exhibited not the man who is destined to die like us all.

[larrybedouin]

It was Peters confession of faith that Jesus would build his church on.

Not on Peter himself. 

When Jesus came into the coasts of *Caesarea Philippi* he asked his disciples, saying,  "Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?"

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

He saith unto them,  "But whom say ye that I am?"

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 Barjona: 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, and *upon this rock I will build my church* and *the gates of hell* shall not prevail against it.”
{Matthew 16:13-18}

"upon *this rock* I will build my church"
is a demonstrated pronoun.

No different than,

Jesus answered and said unto them,  "Destroy *this temple* and in three days I will raise it up.”
{John 2:19}

"the gates of hell"
Here Jesus was using satire, for the pagans believed that the gates of hades was at a cave in Caesarea Philippi.

“And I will give unto thee *the keys of the kingdom of heaven* and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
{Matthew 16:19}

The keys to the kingdom is not exclusive to Peter, for anyone can open the kingdom of heaven by their witness of the gospel to unbelievers.

“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.”
{Matthew 10:32}

That *if thou shalt confess with thy mouth* the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and *with the mouth confession is made unto salvation*
{Romans 10:9-10}

And that *every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord* to the glory of God the Father.
{Philippians 2:11}

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
{1 John 4:15}

And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See,  here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 

And Philip said, *If thou believest with all thine heart thou mayest* And he answered and said, *I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God*
{Acts 8:35-36}

[ers_red_and_gold]

It's definitely false. Even if it was true, Peter never had people kiss the rings on his hands. Imperfections at its best.

[poppycat]

Matthew 16 :18 "You are Peter and on this Rock I build my Church "" Unlike the video this is Peter. ... When the term Pope was used in 107 which the video admits it was used in passing as already established ... Peter was the first pope which precees the agreed compilation of the bible by over 350 years the Bible with the new New Testament was compiled in Rome in 390's

[walterlahaye]

Popes didn’t originate until Bonaface ll as early as 530 A.D. Nice Try!

[pepitodetijuas]

Mathew 16:18 it's clear Peter named first Father of the Church, The Eastern Orthodox recognised The Pope in Rome as the Father untill 1052 .

[Miroslaw-rsip]

Isn’t it interesting that James was the chief of the first church in Jerusalem and not Peter? The early Christian church was decentralized and spread throughout the Roman Empire, there was no single leader of the Universal Church. The Roman Catholic Church’s position that the leader of the church in Rome was preeminent is nonsense!

[TioKeats]

At 2:01 you said and I quote “and Peter himself understood this as he LED THE CHURCH humbly and imperfectly I might add in the years after Christs resurrection” which is the primary expectation Catholics have for any anyone who assumes the duties of the Pope with Jesus most definitely as ruler and lord of us all. Are we not supposed to have a hierarchy of authority that is based on apostolic succession the way Jesus told His apostles to go out and make apostles of their own? I’m not saying a man can’t be corrupted just because he was elected as Pope because humans still have their flesh to contend with no matter their station in life and absolute power corrupts absolutely. There is a difference between influence and power though. Influence is usually an effect caused by love love and power is about domination through fear. I won’t deny throughout the history of the church a number of poor choices were made that got many different Popes elected. The shortcomings and character flaws of those men were responsible for so much evil being done in the Lords name not the office of the Pope who’s whole authority is about being Gods spokesperson in physical form on earth that can mediate and rule on disputes that greatly that could result in huge divisions in the body of Christ. I don’t say all this to argue who is right but I also don’t want what I believe misrepresented as I’m sure most Christians agree with. I do wish Protestants would stop thinking like it’s the 17th century and we are going to fight an actual over differs between us. Catholics view Protestants as our closest allies and brothers that we would defend from the growing number in the world that don’t want either of us to exist anymore. Catholics just want to be treated with the same respect we show you but until then we will love you and pray for you and support you all the same.

[Motomack]

You must understand Isiah 22 to see the full picture and to understand Matt 16 18-20. There you see how Peter is the prime minister of the Church and that the papacy or bishop of Rome is an office that is to continue until the end of time.

[LorenzoLlamas]

It wasn't Peter that Jesus meant was the rock. Jesus was talking about himself.
He would have mentioned Peter's name in taking over the congregation. God had
chosen his Son as Leader of God's earthly Kingdom. A human could never fulfill
and manage such an enormous worldwide responsibility for declaring the good
news among all the nations. And told his apostles, ''Neither be called Leaders, for
*Your Leader is one, the Christ.'' Matthew 23:10. NWT. The leader of the 144, 000
anointed fellow brothers was Jesus Christ, and him only. The 12 apostles were
the beginning of that number. Rev. 7:4; 14;1. He became the rock, the foundation,
the cornerstone, the rock mass, of God's Kingdom. Peter answered correctly the
question put to them. '' You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'' '' ... flesh and
blood did not reveal it to you, but my Father who is in the heavens did, '' Matthew
16:13-20. To Peter, Jesus gave the keys to the Kingdom. I leave this interpretation
for your own research and study. There are three.
* Not a succession of men who know nothing about the Kingdom
and who even reject the holy name of God the Almighty, JEHOVAH. Psa.83:18.
Catholicism and all other religions worship the cross and other idols that are an
abomination to Jesus Christ and his heavenly Father, Jehovah. and those that
worship idols will not inherit God's Kingdom. And the saying has gone to be upon
them: '' Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut up the
Kingdom of the heavens before men; for you yourselves do not go in, neither do
you permit those on their way in, to go in.'' See: ''The seven woes.''
Matthew 13:29. May Jehovah God draw you into his undeserved kindness. Amen.
