Caesarea Philippi - a location that was famous for pagan worship and featured a deep cave spring. It had been referred to as the "gates of hell" or the underworld for ages prior. This provides the backdrop for Jesus's words in Matthew 16:18. So when he mentions Peter (the Rock) on which he will build his church(establish apostolic succession), he goes onto say that the gates of Hell(utilizing the planned location of this announcement) will not prevail against them.

This is all reinforced by the next verse - 16:19 when Jesus explicitly gives Peter spiritual authority represented by the keys of the kingdom of heaven - Symbols of authority and stewardship because, as Jesus knows, he is going to ascend and wishes to leave an Earthly steward and ordinance for succession of said steward(s) for his followers.

@JennyWakefiel12 Interesting mechanism. Construct a delusional reality so you can argue with...yourself?

[Pistofex @pistofex]

I know many Protestants who can recite the Bible from memory better than any Catholic I know. Conversely, I have never met a Protestant who can convey the theological significance of any Bible passage better than I've heard a Catholic convey it.

This is most Protestants' idea of "knowing" the Bible.

@SoliDeoGloria_X As if you are the arbiter of truth. As if saying it only made it so. You make up a delusional reality to argue with...yourself? And you're calling other people insane? Hahahahahaha

@Murmurs16477916 @AnglicanAkatosh Heretical to what?

your version of Christianity? A version that is probably derived from a sect who's beliefs are predicated on schism from the universal church? do you see the irony?

@Bible_Numerics @MJKelleyII ..."oh wait, never mind, it did make the proverbial mailing list. There's this entire book of the Bible called Romans and guess who it's addressing!"

@ShawnOnMission It forbids worshiping manmade things as gods. It doesn't forbid honoring through depiction. A family photo can be treated with love without worshiping it. You don't bow down to a family photo. An image of a saint in heaven works the same way. Why assume an image means worship?

@ShawnOnMission @OrthodoxGabriel The 2nd Commandment forbids worshiping images as gods. It doesn't forbid honoring through image. A family photo can be treated with love without worshiping it. Likewise, a saint’s image can be honored without worshiping it. Why assume an image means worship?

@itsdeaann his face is deeply disturbing, particularly around the eyes. If his demeanor was more welcoming and relaxed, it wouldn't be noteworthy. But those looks mixed with the cold, angry, pretentious nature points to something sinister.
