So because of that one vs it is not in conflict with all of Scripture that although the church had already been built, starting with Adam and Eve, that Jesus now creates a new church organization with a new foundation, Simon/Peter? Wasnt it the proclamation of Peter starting his belief that Jesus is Christ, i.e. God, "You are the Christ"…

Wasnt it the proclamation of Peter starting his belief that Jesus is Christ, i.e. God, "You are the Christ" is the foundation of The Church? Eph. 2:18-22 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
I PETER 2:4-10 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God.
I see no mention of The Roman Catholic Church. I do see a desire to exclude those who do profess Jesus Christ as Lord God in an organization with the grandios belief that they can tell by church membership who deserves damnation and sinful men who can sweep away sins or demand a pentence that even Christ did not do.
