This is an interesting argument. But it seems more akin to a character judgement as opposed to a factual historical one. Matthew 16:13-18 (ESV) 13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 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. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. So the Holy Catholic (Greek=Universal) Church was commissioned by Jesus. Peter was a sinful man. Therefore no man could ever be a pope according to these values but Jesus clearly saw it differently and that’s good enough for me.
Bro, you are messing up and confusing the verses in Matthew 16:18-21. You deny Jesus is building his church lead by Peter. You deny Jesus gave the keys and authority to Peter! You deny Jesus had asked Peter to look after the flock!😂😂😂
