Binding and Loosing and the keys of the Kingdom in the Old Testament

I run into a lot of protestants who argue that Jesus practiced sola scriptura. If you are a protestant who believes that then you believe that Jesus got all his teaching from the OT and nowhere but the OT. So where in the OT do we find biblical support for Jesus giving the keys to Peter and then telling him that what he binds is bound in heaven and what he looses is loosed in heaven?

  1. First, You would have to define what the keyes are with specificity before a proper dialogue can be engaged.

    1. My blog entry assumes that the protestant in focus will be defending the idea that Jesus got his teaching on binding and loosing from the old testament. Which means s/he would need to demonstrate how that is. Ergo that person would need to define those terms and then demonstrate them from the old testament. Or if they think there is no reason to do so, then what would be needed is an explanation of why that teaching does not need to be found in the OT.

      But it appears that you are not attempting to defend that assertion.
