Who has the? Keys to Heaven?
What is the way to Heaven? How does one get through the gate
of Heaven? Who is the gatekeeper of Heaven? Who started this
stuff about St. Peter?
Now get your Bible out and
read, and above all, think as you read. Take it slow and
easy on the reading, and thinking of what it says. Also,
think of what has been poured into your head by some great
minds of some church leaders over many years. This is called
control of the mass of people, by keeping them not thinking
what the Bible really says.

Who started this crap about Peter having the Keys to
the gate? Read your Bible. Matthew 16;19. Jesus is talking
here. He is saying,? ???I will give Peter the KEYS.??? Was Jesus
talking about a key and a locked gate? Does that mean Peter
sits at the gate and lets in whom he likes, and keeps out
ones he doesn't care for.? Is that his job? Read that slow
and easy, and think what it says in another place.
The Key to Heaven is not a
locked gate, with a person like Peter guarding the gate. The
Keys to Heaven is only one; the Son of God, Jesus. Jesus was
speaking of himself as the way, the Key to Heaven. He is at
this point in time telling Peter that the Key to Heaven is
Jesus. He is giving him the way, the one and only way to
Heaven. Jesus is the KEY.
If you go back one step, you will find the words
about "upon this Rock." Again a point some church people
grab onto, saying Peter was/is the power of whom gets into
Heaven and who doesn't. I don't think Jesus meant Peter is
the rock. Rock is this earth, the church is built on. He
wasn't talking about building a church on the moon was he?
The earth is where we live. If you will read and think some,
Peter weakened a few times. He was flesh and blood just like
any of the rest of us. Spirit is real strong at times, flesh
is weak a lot of times. And I am told he guards the gate?

Peter and Company are being told to go out and
preach, and teach the way to Heaven. They have been given
the keys of how to do so. Jesus himself is the way, and only
way to Heaven.
John 14;6. Read that slow and
easy - where is Peter spoken of there? Jesus says very
plain, He, Jesus, is the one and only way to Heaven, there
is no other way, nor a person such as Peter.
Peter, Mark, Paul, Luke, John,
Mary and anyone else, and all together, cannot push, or pull
you or me through the gates of Heaven. It is the blood of
the pure Lamb of God, Jesus that will bring you and I
through the gates of Heaven. There is nothing else but the
BLOOD. Peter and Company, and any from that time on, are the
teachers/preachers of the way, not the gatekeepers. Remember
one thing Jesus said, and he said it very clear. "I am the
WAY, and only WAY." None of the others then, or anyone who
lives now, is or was one hundred percent pure. No one is
saved but by the Grace of God, and the Blood of his only
begotten Son, Jesus. Remember, we all have sinned, sometime,
somewhere, someplace. It is written, fracture one of God's
laws, and brother, sister, we fractured every last one of
them.
