Mt. 16:19 Psalms 3:3 in Septuagint Charles B. Williams’ translation is similar:”I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you forbid on earthmust be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth must bewhat is already permitted in heaven.”These are perfect passive participles, so I don’t think the translation is a stretch.[David Morris; new list-members please take note: protocolrequires a full-name signature to all messages sent to the list. -cwc]Ted Mann wrote:> I am curious to know how others feel about the following translation of Mt.> 16:19: “And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven.

Mt. 16:19 Psalms 3:3 in Septuagint Dear ,Relevant to Ted’s question about Matt 16:19, Dan Wallace, in _Greek Grammarbeyond the Basics (647, n. 83), notes that:Another issue related to semantics has to do with distinguishing thisparticipial use [periphrastic] with [sic, “from”] the predicate adjectiveparticiple. This is particularly problematic with perfect passiveparticiples (in which the simple adjectival idea seems more pronounced thanwith other participles). See Boyer, “Participles, 167-68, 172-73, fordiscussion of participles. Essentially he argues that context helps, inparticular when the participle is thrown in with adjectives.Yours,Harold HolmyardDallas, TX

Unless you decide the issues for yourself by yourself, youhave to rely upon the views of another or others — but who do you trustto have a sound view? Probably somebody who shares your assumptionsor presuppositions. How do you discern that? That’s up to you, of course.> My question is how do we treat these verbs in this context and why? What> rules of syntax apply?There are at least two ways to understand these future perfect passives,in my opinion:(1) On the one hand, you can interpret them to mean that the choices/decisionsmade by the ecclesiasatical authorities will be consistent with the way thingsare already fixed in the heavenly lawbooks, so to speak. That is to say, it isimpossible for ecclesiastical authorities on earth to reach decisions that haven’talready been fixed in Heaven. Read this way, such decisions would seem tobe actions of puppets on earth who only go through a show of exercisingauthority.(2) On the other hand, you can interpret them to mean that, when they makethese choices/decisons, they can be confident that their choices/decisions willindeed be ratified in Heaven. This would be assurance that the holders ofthe keys of the kingdom have genuine authority. I think this is more likelythe intent of the Jesus-saying as here set forth in Matthew.It would probably be worth while to consider the formulation in John 20:22-23 καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησεν καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· λάβετε πνεῦμα ἅγιον· 23 ἄν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἀφέωνται αὐτοῖς, ἄν τινων κρατῆτε κεκράτηνται.

    Derrick Stokes Matthew 16:19 is one of the verse often quoted
    What did JESUS say His disciples could bind here?

    The book of Acts shows us this process at work. By his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-40), Peter opened the door of the kingdom for the first time. The expressions “bind” and “loose” were common to Jewish legal phraseology meaning to declare something forbidden or to declare it allowed Who did Jesus mean in this verse?

    1. Actions or teachings/doctrine incorporated in the church body. Acts is full of it. We even see Paul doing it in 1 Corinthians. Even of sins (John 20:23). We can’t say “whatsoever” means whatsoever we choose it means. I choose to let scripture interpret scripture and if God says Jesus is the one that binds Satan, then I’m going to let Jesus be Jesus.

    2. Troy Day says:

      I read your points in your article but am more interested in the actual text of the Bible – in the original Greek it says whatsoever. How does whatsoever, in your opinion, exclude demons or satan?

  2. Troy Day says:

    Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:

    Does all the power of the enemy not include satan the chief enemy? Is he protected from us? Has God given him immunity from the church? Joseph D. Absher Brody Pope Joseph Castillo Robbie Asbury Why do you think people want to limit the power of God?

  3. Melvin Shomo says:

    Troy Day the believer has power over the weather if he or she truly believes.
    The gift of faith is like a flickering candle in our Churches today, and as soon as the slightest wind blows the flame of faith is put out.

    I had tested fate with the blood poisoning that I had a few years back.
    And the main reason for me doing so was because I had promised the Lord that I would not seek medical help if something would happen to me again.
    After what was believed to be a heart attack is when I made a vow unto the Lord.

    The vow was between the Lord and I.
    My son enlaw had said to me, “Melvin I don’t believe that the Lord will hold it against you for going to the hospital to have the blood poisoning looked after.
    I said in return, “It is either life or death with me, but you will see that the Lord will see me through this.
    The Son enlaw couldn’t sleep that night and he had awakened the daughter up to come and talk me into going too the hospital.
    She said, “go back to sleep, he isn’t going to listen to you.
    You see his father had blood poisoning three different times in his life, so he was familiar with what the outcome could be.

    Ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
    5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

    I for one wanted to honor my vow unto the Lord and in my mind I had seen only deliverance with Satan defeated.

    Pentecostal is only a name much like Methodist, Baptist.
    The binding and loosing is a figment of imagination to many believers.
    It is only a statement with no action.

    I made a new friend on Facebook that has such experiences in his own life.
    I even went to the church where he pastor’s to meet him personally.
    This gentleman has some crazy experiences where he had trusted in the Lord for the impossible.

  11. It is a very radical idea that the Lord Jesus Christ commissions Peter Immediately with authority to stand against, limit, and resist, bind, and hinder evil and encourage, release, loose and facilitate good. Submitted to God and serving him. Loving the things he loves and hating the the things he hates.
    This is just the plain sense of the verse as far as I’m concerned. Knowing the Lord Jesus Christ by revelation and being bold enough and morally fit enough to stand on the promises of God.
    Knowing right from wrong and choosing to do right and stand against evil. In Jesus name, devil I resist you, I stand against you. I’m telling you, oh no you don’t you can’t have my family. I bind you in Jesus name!
    And I believe God according to his promise to pour out a spirit of grace and supplication, the liberty of the spirit to seek God turn from sin and offer a sacrifice of praise and i thank you for a spirit of faith to believe God for great and mighty things.
    All things in obedience to Thee oh God and for the glory in Jesus mighty name!

  12. Ray E Horton says:

    “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” (Matt 16:18). The Catholics use this scripture to say that the church was built on Peter, but actually, it is built on Peter’s confession, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Vs. 16). Note that two different words are used that mean rock. Peter’s name, Petros, means a little piece of rock, whereas the rock being built on is “petra,” meaning a projecting or mass of rock or large stone. Jesus Himself is the “chief corner stone.”

  15. Matthew 16:19
    In Christ’s new program Peter (you is singular) was given “the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” These keys have to do with disclosure of spiritual truth that affects one’s eternal destiny (Luke 11:52; Rev 1:18). Peter, who was entrusted as a steward with the knowledge of the gospel, had authority as an apostle to state whether people would be admitted into or excluded from the kingdom of God. Peter first used the keys of his authority on the Day of Pentecost to open the kingdom to the Jews (Acts 2:38-42), then in Samaria for the Samaritans (Acts 8:14-17), and later to Cornelius, a Gentile (Acts 10:34-48).

    While hypothetically only Peter had these keys, the reality is that all the apostles and indeed every believer does as well. The Book of Acts clearly shows that others, like Philip, Barnabas, and Paul, were opening the kingdom to many.

    Binding and loosing were common rabbinic terms that meant to include or exclude, to permit or forbid, to declare a precept not binding, or to impose an obligation. Peter and the other apostles would make decisions for God’s new community that would prohibit or permit certain teaching and practices in the newly formed Church. His leadership would impact the Church’s direction throughout the age. Later Jesus delegated this authority to other apostles as well (Matt 18:18). The Book of Acts shows Peter and the other apostles making important decisions under the guidance of the Holy Spirit at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15:6-29). The validity of the Church’s decisions in any age are only as valid as the extent to which they conform to Scripture.

    Here we go snooping Steve A very open and indepth discussion on your OFF topic question with some of my colleagues some 20yrs go Lets start with Mt. 16:19 I am curious to know how others feel about the following translation of Mt.16:19: “And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven. Andwhatever you bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven. Andwhatever you may loose on the earth shall be, having been loosed in Heaven.”This is from Jay P. Green’s Interlinear Greek NT (3rd Ed.)

    You may of course recognize some of the names if you’ve got the proper training. What did JESUS say His disciples could bind here?

    The book of Acts shows us this process at work. By his sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-40), Peter opened the door of the kingdom for the first time. The expressions “bind” and “loose” were common to Jewish legal phraseology meaning to declare something forbidden or to declare it allowed Who did Jesus mean in this verse?

    Isara Mo Ray E Horton William DeArteaga I would like to poll our group on an ALL TIME favorite subject of binding demons Some questionable profile by the name of Steve Forsberg has expressed the notion of a wrong heremeneutics on the subject As a response the discussion above was offered from the archive WHILE the said profile seems to be taking the passage out of context and eisegesising it I believe this OP explains the Greek in great detail http://probible.net/matthew-1619/ Your personal take would be greatly welcomed

      My NASB translates the verse: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” Not too different!
