Key’s “to The Kingdom” Explained
Collected and written in part by Pat Miron
In your opinion, what does the phrase "keys to the kingdom" refer to?
Quote:
| “I would like just one Catholic to tell me specifically what they think these keys are that” were given to their church. |
The words used by Jesus are carefully selected to insure proper understanding.
[Mt. 16: 15-19] He [JESUS]
said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter replied,
[Peter is in a personal one on one conversation with Jesus here]
"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona!
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
And [JESUS]
I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock
[ON YOU PETER]-------------------( patrick j miron delusional commentary)
I will build my [SINGULAR]
church,
and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.
[19] I [Jesus] will give you
[PETER
/ My new Church]
the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
[To be understood as everything one needs to get to heaven; Including Christ Himself]
and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Back in the time if Jesus it was common for major cites to be walled in for protection from attack. These cities actually had two real GATES, with REAL KEYS. A minor gate and the Main gate.
The words used by Jesus are carefully selected to insure proper understanding.
[Mt. 16: 15-19]
He [JESUS] said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, [Peter is in a personal one on one conversation with Jesus here] "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,
but my Father who is in heaven.
And [JESUS]I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock
[ON YOU PETER] -- deception revieled
I will build my [SINGULAR] church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.
[19] I will give you [PETER / My new Church] the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
This is part of the discourse in which Christ makes clear in unambiguous language that He intends to: 1. Form His Church (singular use of “I” and “you” and “church.” 2. That it is to be only ONE church. 3. That Peter is given the access (gate keys) to heaven. 4. Peter (and Peter alone) is given all of the power and authority to govern with COMPLETE autonomous authority, answering ONLY to God Himself!
We can know this by the choice of words selected by Christ.
To “bind” and to “loose” were common, rabbinical, legally binding at Law terms for exactly that! Complete, and free governance. Jesus, Peter and all that heard knew exactly what Jesus meant! Exactly what Jesus meant! At the time these were very commonly used words.
Also see [Mt. 18:15-18] "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; [SINGULAR] and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind [Mandate / decide on] on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Mt. 16: 15 He [Jesus] said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I [singular] tell you, you are Peter,[singular] and on this rock [singular] I will build my [singular] church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.[singular] 19 I [God singular] will give you [singular] the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you [singular] bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Eph. 4: 4 -8 “There is one body [One Church] and one Spirit, [One set of beliefs] just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, [One God] one faith, [One set of doctrine and dogma] one baptism,[ By water in the Trinity] one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it is said,
Eph. 5: 23 Christ is the head of the church [SINGULAR] , his body, [[SINGULAR].
1 Cor. 14: 12 “ So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excel in building up the church. [singular]
Eph. 3: 9 “And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;
10 that through the church [SINGULAR]
the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Col. 1: 18 “ He is the head of the body [singular], the church; [singular] he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell”
Acts 20: 28 “Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of the LORD” [SINGULAR]
Mt. 18: 15 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them,
tell it to the church; [singular]
and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. [18]
Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
1 Cor. 12: 12-1 “For just as the body [singular] is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, [singular] though many, are one body, [singular] so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.”
The Keys represent unlimited Power of Governance as well as being “the [also singular] narrow gate” one MUST enter to attain salvation. PJM [Matt. 7:13-14.]
God’s Continued Blessings for you and your’s,
Love and prayers,
