And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 16:17.
Exactly what was revealed, and why?
A RC asked my thoughts on this, I believe he was trying to connect, and prove, sacred Tradition here. Does this prove that God still reveals new info to people, namely his church?
I would offer.
Revealed .The will of the father "inspiration to mankind" .
Why. . .So we could hear or father . Called the hearing of faith or believing God not seen
Catholiscim says so they can hear Peter as the key that unlocks gates of hell .Therefore usurping the power of the our "invisible Father" and giving it over to dying mankind Peter our brother in the lord .
Peter the key or foundation of Catholicism . . worship dying flesh and blood.
No Peter the bottom drops. . out. . no Catholiscim
The bible God's witness was made perfect over two thousand years ago Two warning working as one to protect the integrity of the Living word .of our invisible Holy Father
One do not change the meaning of
one word it can change the authorship .(Deuterroomy4:2) And a warning at the end not to add or subtract from the whole book of prophecy or called book of law sealed it with 7 seal till the end of time .
Its sacred for them to add . If no adding and subtracting Catholicism is made to no effect
In that way no man can serve two invisible teaching masters as our one invisible Holy Father
Cant serve the Bible as book of law (sola scriptura) and the oral traditons the cathodic Bible called the CCC (sola legions of fathers) dying mankind that some call patron saints (3500 and rising
The Catholic Bible, (sola I heard it through the legion of fathers grape vine) called sacred traditions of dying sinners . .
80 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, then, are bound closely together, and communicate one with the other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, come together in some fashion to form one thing, and move towards the same goal." 40 Each of them makes present and fruitful in the Church the mystery of Christ, who promised to remain with his own "always, to the close of the age". 41
Therefore making Peter our brother in the Lord a serial denier and used as a warning of what not to do, make the word of God without effect. by worshiping /venerating our brother Peter rather than the invisible head the Holy Father . Yoked with him daily burdens can be lighter with a living future hope beyond the grave
In John 21 Just being reinstated for denying Christ again . Peter went to town to falsely prophecy. . saying John would never die. ( A Catholic tradition )
Jesus rebuked Peter and infallibly informed him .If every time he had to reveal the lies of what some call sacred traditons of dying mankind we would need a bigger planet to hold the volumes upon volumes. Bigger than the Vatican library filled with what some call scared oral tradition of dying mankind .
John 21:23-25 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die:
yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also
many other things which Jesus did, the which, if
they should be
written every one, I suppose that even
the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
Amen.
I would ask how many volumes are needed to cover this planet"
I would think after being forgiven for blasphemy against the Son of man, Jesus in Mathew 16 it would of been enough warning .The second the rooster crow (guilty blasphemy ) The third in John 21 .Three is used in that way to show the end of a matter . ..you could say lesson over
Christians worship the unseen Holy Father that worked, poured out His Eternal Spirit in jeapordy of His own on dying flesh i . . . yoked with the Son of man to
both reveal his will and
empower dying making to do it to his good pleasure alone.
Not dying mankind as a legion of fathers (3500 and rising) That some call patron saints
