Papacy - Problems in Explaining the Keys in Matthew 16:19
Understand the problem is the first step toward the solution.Papacy - Explaining the Keys in Isaiah 22
This article seeks to get past the "either Christ or Peter" objection of Protestants and around some natural Protestant prejudice against the true meaning of the keys. It starts with the Old Testament and explains who is the "master of the palace" and thereby the meaning of the keys, and only after that does it go into the subject of the Papacy. By explaining the relationship between King Hezekiah and his chief minister Eliakim in Old Testament first, the ground work is laid for the proper understanding of the relationship between Christ and St. Peter.
