The New Testament Church, Who Owns It?

Despite centuries of covering the rot in the Catholic Church, the truth has finally been exposed. You see God said in his word that there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed(Luke 12:2). He also emphasizes that heaven and earth will pass away but his word abides forever (Matt. 24:35). We should also not forget that God stresses that he has magnified his word even above his name ( Psa. 138:2).One of the fundamental doctrines of the Catholic Church is that Peter is the rock of the church. The word of God categorically exposes the foolishness of this doctrine.
In his holy word, God says categorically that cursed is he who trusts in man(Jere 17:5). God also says that the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked( Jere.17:9). Therefore God could not be so foolish to build his church on Peter, a man. In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said, ‘’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’’. The catholic church uses this verse to argue that Peter is the rock Jesus was referring to.
What Jesus said in simple terms is; you are petra(stone) but upon this petros(rock-Jesus) I will build my church. If Jesus had declared Peter to be the rock of the church, he would be foolish to call the ‘’rock’’ Satan just a few verses after(Matt.16:23). In addition it is amazing that the so called rock of the church is rebuked by Apostle Paul in Galatians 2 for ignorance of the fact that circumcision of the heart was superior to the circumcision of the flesh.How could the rock of the church be so carnal to cut off some one’s ear during Jesus’ arrest? Do you see any rockness in timid Peter who denied Jesus? If you were Jesus would you be so foolish to build your church on this fellow?
God has further exposed the lie that the Pope is a descendant of saint Peter, the rock of the church by exposing the hypocrisy of Pope Benedict who directly knew the sexual abuse of children by catholic priests and kept munk. How can a descendant of the rock of the church(‘’holy father’’) cover sin and then apologize after being exposed. Our God is God of truth, he can never contradict his word. His word cuts through the lies of men and renders them foolishness. Amen.
