Matthew 16:15-23, Jesus' Quick Little Lesson.

Quick, but evidently beyond the comprehension of both historic and current Church Babblers.

In Matthew 16 Jesus asked His Guys who they thought He was, and Peter alone stepped up with the right answer. "You are the Christ, the son of the living God." Peter did not call Jesus "God," and Jesus affirmed Peter's exact words, stating Peter's knowledge was only from His Father in Heaven.

Jesus called Peter "Blessed," renamed Him "Peter" (even though the text already had called him Peter), and lastly gave him some sort of "Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven."

The ensuing text has Jesus explaining the ghastly abuse and death He would soon have in Jerusalem. Peter then mistakenly tried to be protective and supportive to his Lord in the only way He knew how. Rather than kindly explaining a little more of the situation to Peter, and thanking Peter for his love, for Peter's error Jesus jumped down his throat, and called him "Satan."

Let's review, in case you cannot follow this with your level of Faith. First Peter was "Blessed," was affirmed as having heard from The Father Himself, had his identity profoundly established in his name as Peter, and was promised an unparalleled authority with the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, then Jesus decided to call Peter "Satan" for his one ignorant error.

The purpose in this review of Matthew 16:15-23 here is to show how Jesus easily demonstrated that if any Christian makes a mistake in Doctrine, displays any omission of the facts as spoken by Jesus, does not perfectly understand Jesus and His work, or speaks out of step with any Prophecy from The Father, then that Christian is assuredly indwelt with either Satan himself or with an evil spirit.

This is why "ministers," preachers, and evangelists need not be listened to or supported in any manner. By their own admission, they are "not perfect." Their roles were strictly for starting The Church, and not for The Church's continuation through today. No Scripture ever speaks of an ongoing role for them, especially since The Apostles and The NT writers all had expected Jesus to return soon within their life time. The immediacy of Jesus' return appears throughout all of The NT. Just read it.

Lol. Think with agape before you embarrass both yourself and your ... Lord.
