Protestants do not respect their own thinking abilities. Every Protestant knows The Old Testament contains Prophecies that predicted The Messiah!
Jesus was born in The Prophesied Village. He was born of The Prophesied Family. He Was born at The Prophesied Time.
Protestants are all smart enough to know that!
~
Protestants are also smart enough to know: “Every Word of Jesus Is A Truth We Must Obey.”
That’s where The Test of Faith begins!
The Test of Faith? “Will I strive to obey Every Word of Jesus?”
~
Protestants avoid thinking clearly about These Words of Jesus in MT 16:13-19!
“When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi He asked His disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’ They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.'”
Look what Jesus asked!
“He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter said in reply, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’”
Jesus knew that God had given Simon Peter That Truth!
“Jesus said to him in reply, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Heavenly Father.”
Then, Jesus Spoke His Only Church-Founding Word!
“And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'”
Then, Jesus made This Promise!
“I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.” (emphasis added)

Protestants believe in Jesus. They do not want to understand the obvious fact! Jesus did not leave “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” to anyone but Peter and His Successors.
Protestants know that. May they be blessed to do what is necessary to be among the only people whose souls are allowed into Heaven:
“You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
~
Every Protestant knows that Prophecies predicted The Messiah! Christ’s Words are Truth! Christ’s Words are Clear! “Every Word of Jesus Is A Truth We Must Obey.”
Protestants do not respect their own thinking abilities. That is why they do not obey what they know!
