One interesting point he brought up was the fact that none of the New Covenant believers ever treated Peter as if he were above question (e.g., the Jewish believers confronted him after his having gone to Gentiles, Paul confronts him to his face for his hypocrisy), or any sort of ultimate authority (e.g., Peter is sent out to serve a church by other believers) or the sole vicar of Christ (e.g., “[Christ] came and preached peace to you” + “it is no longer I who live but Christ”).
James from Maryland,
I found the Lord in His Church, the Catholic Church. Please think for yourself about the issue that you presented to Dr. Brown. Please re-consider Catholic positions and teachings.
You have found that Protestant arguments are lacking. It might be that God is using this, leading you by His grace, helping you to develop your understanding of the Church. I believe with all my heart that this is the case. Don’t give up. Ask God to reveal His truth to you. It can’t hurt to prayerfully question until you arrive at an answer that satisfies you. Dr. Brown would agree.
The Lord Jesus said to the Blessed Apostles, “Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” Therefore, no one can tell me that the concept of penitence and absolution are not scriptural. Christ gave the Apostles the power of binding and loosing. Thus, He gave His priests the ability to be conduits of God’s mercy. Malachi prophesied that the Messiah would refine the priesthood. He did this through His disciples. St. Peter was given the keys to the Kingdom. Until the King returns, His custodian protects and guides the Kingdom in His stead. That custodian is the pope of Rome. The keys were given. On this point we can agree. That is in the Bible. Nothing that is in the Bible is there by accident.
Here is a debate between two very competent Catholic apologists and two very competent Protestant apologists. It is a very fair debate on the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sBCOfH1maE
God bless.

The Protestant church is turning back and in fact run to Romen Catholic Church as fast as there little sinning feet can run . Proof of this happen last year in July 2014 . When James Robenson , Rick Warren , Kenneth Copeland and others.Who went to see the pope of Rome last year and made a statement we are one Church now my take would be is that under Mary as coredeemer that would make JESUS a blasphemer ?

The other link in my previous post is another debate with Dr. Sungenis and Dr. White, which is also interesting. The Sungenis/Butler vs. White/Zins debate is great. Must watch.

Hi james if Peter holds the Keys to Haven and now is passed down to each pope then we are in a bad way. Here is some thing to look at . Libertines you will find so called Notable pepole like pope John 12 , pope Alexander 6 .
You can’t get more “libertine” than the kings of Israel, Paul, yet God put them in charge, too. 🙂
God bless.
This good take a look Pope Alexander VI, born Roderic Llançol i de Borja (Valencian pronunciation: [roðeˈɾiɡ ʎanˈsɔɫ i ðe ˈβɔɾdʒa], Spanish: Rodrigo Lanzol y de Borja [roˈðɾiɣo lanˈθol i ðe ˈβorxa]; 1 January 1431 – 18 August 1503), was Pope from 11 August 1492 until his death. He is one of the most controversial of the Renaissance popes, partly because he acknowledged fathering several children by his mistresses. Therefore his Italianized Valencian surname, Borgia, became a byword for libertinism and nepotism, which are traditionally considered as characterizing his pontificate. However, two of Alexander’s successors, Sixtus V and Urban VIII, described him as one of the most outstanding popes since St. Peter.[2]
Blind leading the blind both fall in to a ditch . Can a unsaved person lead someone to Christ ?
Bible 2 Tim 3
4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never
able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
