In Matthew 16:19, Jesus tells Peter, "I will give you 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." In Acts 1:15-26, we learn that though an Apostle dies, his office lives on and is taken by a successor. Unless Jesus took the keys away, the successor of Peter still holds the keys and has the authority to bind and loose. So why do you not accept the authority of the successor of Peter? Do you think Jesus took the keys away? If so, when, and what evidence is there He did so?
