MATTHEW 16:19 IN CONTEXT - THE PROMISE OF THE KEYS
"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." (KJV) MATTHEW 18:18 IN CONTEXT - THE FULFILMENT TO ALL THE DISCIPLES, NOT JUST PETER "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." (KJV) JOHN 20:23 IN CONTEXT: "Then said Jesus to THEM again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained." (KJV) "THEM" - the disciples, NOT THE POPES OF ROME. Non-transferrable. ROMANS 13:1-2 IN CONTEXT "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:" RULERS - civil authority, not ecclesiastical authority being referred here. No mention that the POpe or Bishop of Rome has unique infallible authority ordained by God. Christopher
