Don’t bother to look for additional Bible verses that confirm Peter as the sole arbiter of the earthly church established by Jesus Christ. There aren’t any. However, there are numerous Bible verses that establish Jesus Christ as the Rock upon which the Christian church is to be built. That means the Roman Catholic church has no right to claim their church is the only way to heaven. The Roman Catholic church doesn’t have the right to usurp Jesus as the head of the church and arbitrarily declare the Pope is now the head of the church. Catholicism has no spiritual right to say who is and who isn’t a Christian. That is for God alone to decide because only God knows the hearts of men. You can either believe the church of God was built by Peter and those Popes who came after him, all sinful men, or you can choose to believe Jesus himself built his church on the eternal truth that the Son of God came to die on the cross in our place for our sins.
