Y in essence St. Peter is the door man in heaven wen he denied Christ 3 times?

Jesus called St. Peter "the rock" on which he built the church. I don´t believe it actually says in the Bible that St. Peter is the "doorman", I believe that is just tradition.

Siempre tenga los conjones para preguntar lo que quieres. No vas al infierno solo para una pregunta. Para preguntar es mejor de vivir sin una respuesta.

Of course he denied Christ 3 times!!

If you were controlling the entrance to a club, would you let some guy in a thong with blood all over him get in?

No.

You would at least ask him to dress better and take a shower.

God saw that and couldn't just fired St. Peter. After all, He put him there to screen who gets into Heaven and who doesn't.

Peter's denial of having connection with Jesus was that of an unsaved man afraid for his life and confused concerning Jesus crucifixion. He didn't understand that Jesus was meant to be crucified for the salvation of all who would believe.

After Jesus resurrection Peter believed. And in Acts he was there with the 120 at Pentecost, he was the one who stood up and encouraged all the Jews to accept Jesus as their Messiah. Read of all the things Peter did in Acts, its not the kind of things that a man denying Christ would do.

Peter also wrote two epistles that exalt and honor Christ. Peter was also martyred because of the testimony he had of Jesus in his life.

Peter did according to Matthew 10:32, "Whoever acknowledges me in the presence of others I will also acknowledge in the presence of my Father in heaven."

Compare that with a person who is already a Christian (experienced salvation), has testimony of the good things that God has done for them in various areas of life.. and then the person is perhaps influenced by deception and ends up denouncing Christ and God.. essentially spitting upon the crucifixion and redemption and stomping it into the ground as disgusting garbage.

Hebrews 6 says it this way -

4

"For it is impossible [to restore and bring again to repentance] those who have been once for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit,

5

And have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and world to come,

6

If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance--[it is impossible] to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh [as far as they are concerned] and are holding [Him] up to contempt and shame and public disgrace."

Jesus was talking about this kind of person in Matthew 10:33, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."

.

Peter isn't the "door man" in heaven. But, Peter DID repent, even though you told me not to say that. It's the truth. He wept bitterly as soon as that happened. Peter is in heaven with the Lord. He was crucified upside down because he said he wasn't worthy to be crucified in the same manner that his Lord was. He died a Believer.

Peter was a weak man,Jesus called him "man of little faith" because he doubted Jesus and his word.Peter became an adversary,speaking for the Devil,and Jesus had to rebuke him (Matt 16:23"). In Gethsemane Jesus told him to watch and pray,and yet he slept.Peter promised to follow Jesus all the way to prison and death,yet he denied him three times later that night.

Peter is not the first Pope and every Pope is false.There are no Popes in the bible.The Papary is an invention of the RCC.

Because he was human? Perhaps God wanted to humble him a bit, since he claimed he could do something that would take a lot of faith. So, you and I should be really careful what kind of promises we make, especially to God. Perhaps we will never know the answer. Isn't God amazing? That's the part that takes faith. I know God exists, and that he's good, but I have to have faith in his sovereignty. Otherwise being on this earth is just an exercise in futility.

It's a role ascribed to him after Jesus founded the church upon Peter's shoulders and said to him that whatever he held bound or loosed on Earth would be bound or loosed in Heaven.

There really shouldn 't be a doorman in Heaven, since only the owner allows or denies entry.

This is my rock (Peter) and upon this rock I shall build my church.

Who knows....why did they bring back Peters mother in law (indicating he was married) but Catholics don't let priests marry? (Peter would be the first Pope, in a manner of speaking, he did go on to start the Church)

Why did they heal the sick, bring people back from the dead but not try to revive Christ after the whole cross incident?

Ahh the questions of the ages...

Peter was human and afraid and just like many of us. Jesus built his Church on someone very much like us. Jesus took on our humanity and it shows us that much more how much He loves us.

Jesus understands us better than we will ever know ourselves. He wanted his Church on earth to be close to him. How better than to choose his 'Rock' in someone who has failed him. He knows we will fail him again and again, but we need to keep trying and work at loving Him better each day.

1 & 2 Peter - for example, Peter denied Christ, he was rebuked by his greatest bishop (Paul), and yet he wrote two infallible encyclicals. Further, if Peter could teach infallibly by writing, why could he not also teach infallibly by preaching? And why couldn't his successors so teach as well?

Matt. 16:18 - Jesus said in Aramaic, you are "Kepha" and on this "Kepha" I will build my Church. In Aramaic, "kepha" means a massive stone, and "evna" means little pebble. Some non-Catholics argue that, because the Greek word for rock is "petra", that "Petros" actually means "a small rock", and therefore Jesus was attempting to diminish Peter right after blessing him by calling him a small rock. Not only is this nonsensical in the context of Jesus' blessing of Peter, Jesus was speaking Aramaic and used "Kepha," not "evna." Using Petros to translate Kepha was done simply to reflect the masculine noun of Peter.

Moreover, if the translator wanted to identify Peter as the "small rock," he would have used "lithos" which means a little pebble in Greek. Also, Petros and petra were synonyms at the time the Gospel was written, so any attempt to distinguish the two words is inconsequential. Thus, Jesus called Peter the massive rock, not the little pebble, on which He would build the Church. (You don’t even need Matt. 16:18 to prove Peter is the rock because Jesus renamed Simon “rock” in Mark 3:16 and John 1:42!).

Matt. 16:17 - to further demonstrate that Jesus was speaking Aramaic, Jesus says Simon "Bar-Jona." The use of "Bar-Jona" proves that Jesus was speaking Aramaic. In Aramaic, "Bar" means son, and "Jonah" means John or dove (Holy Spirit). See Matt. 27:46 and Mark 15:34 which give another example of Jesus speaking Aramaic as He utters in rabbinical fashion the first verse of Psalm 22 declaring that He is the Christ, the Messiah. This shows that Jesus was indeed speaking Aramaic, as the Jewish people did at that time.

Matt. 16:18 - also, in quoting "on this rock," the Scriptures use the Greek construction "tautee tee" which means on "this" rock; on "this same" rock; or on "this very" rock. "Tautee tee" is a demonstrative construction in Greek, pointing to Peter, the subject of the sentence (and not his confession of faith as some non-Catholics argue) as the very rock on which Jesus builds His Church. The demonstrative (“tautee”) generally refers to its closest antecedent (“Petros”). Also, there is no place in Scripture where “faith” is equated with “rock.”

Matt. 16:18-19 - in addition, to argue that Jesus first blesses Peter for having received divine revelation from the Father, then diminishes him by calling him a small pebble, and then builds him up again by giving him the keys to the kingdom of heaven is entirely illogical, and a gross manipulation of the text to avoid the truth of Peter's leadership in the Church. This is a three-fold blessing of Peter - you are blessed, you are the rock on which I will build my Church, and you will receive the keys to the kingdom of heaven (not you are blessed for receiving Revelation, but you are still an insignificant little pebble, and yet I am going to give you the keys to the kingdom).

Matt. 16:18-19 – to further rebut the Protestant argument that Jesus was speaking about Peter’s confession of faith (not Peter himself) based on the revelation he received, the verses are clear that Jesus, after acknowledging Peter’s receipt of divine revelation, turns the whole discourse to the person of Peter: Blessed are “you” Simon, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to “you,” and I tell “you,” “you” are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church. I will give “you” the keys to the kingdom, and whatever “you” bind and loose on earth will be bound and loosed in heaven. Jesus’ whole discourse relates to the person of Peter, not his confession of faith.
