Wow now I understood this verse more and it’s so powerful now that I understand it!! Thank you Eden! 🙏🏻💕❤️ you’re amazing!!! God is working through you!!
Can you please explain how your exegesis gets you to the point you argued? I see the phrase in Matthew 18 dealing with sin. Just before this verse is the clear teaching of dealing with sin in the church. The same language is used in John 20:23 where it is clear that Jesus is talking about sin. These clear passages should be used to interpret the unclear, not the other way around. If anybody have the power to "bind" sickness and "loose" health, they will never die. Where in the Bible is the evidence found for these statements?
As the Jewish Encyclopedia said "Rabbinical term for "forbidding and permitting." The expression "asar" (to bind herself by a bond) is used in the Bible (Num. xxx. 3 et seq.) for a vow which prevents one from using a thing. It implies binding an object by a powerful spell in order to prevent its use (see Targ. to Ps. lviii. 6; Shab. 81b, for "magic spell"). The corresponding Aramean "shera" and Hebrew "hittir" (for loosing the prohibitive spell) have no parallel in the Bible. The power of binding and loosing was always claimed by the Pharisees. Under Queen Alexandra, the Pharisees, says Josephus ("B J." i, 5, § 2), "became the administrators of all public affairs so as to be empowered to banish and readmit whom they pleased, as well as to loose and to bind." This does not mean that, as the learned men, they merely decided what, according to the Law, was forbidden or allowed, but that they possessed and exercised the power of tying or untying a thing by the spell of their divine authority, just as they could, by the power vested in them, pronounce and revoke an anathema upon a person. The various schools had the power "to bind and to loose"; that is, to forbid and to permit (Ḥag. 3b); and they could bind any day by declaring it a fast-day (Meg. Ta'an. xxii.; Ta'an. 12a; Yer. Ned. i. 36c, d). This power and authority, vested in the rabbinical body of each age or in the Sanhedrin (see Authority), received its ratification and final sanction from the celestial court of justice (Sifra, Emor, ix.; Mak. 23b). In the New Testament. In this sense Jesus, when appointing his disciples to be his successors, used the familiar formula (Matt. xvi. 19, xviii. 18). By these words he virtually invested them with the same authority as that which he found belonging to the scribes and Pharisees who "bind heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but will not move them with one of their fingers"; that is, "loose them," as they have the power to do (Matt. xxiii. 2-4). In the same sense, in the second epistle of Clement to James II. ("Clementine Homilies," Introduction), Peter is represented as having appointed Clement as his successor, saying: "I communicate to him the power of binding and loosing so that, with respect to everything which he shall ordain in the earth, it shall be decreed in the heavens; for he shall bind what ought to be bound and loose what ought to be loosed as knowing the rule of the church." Quite different from this Judaic and ancient view of the apostolic power of binding and loosing is the one expressed in John xx. 23, where Jesus is represented as having said to his disciples after they had received the Holy Spirit: "Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained." It is this view which, adopted by Tertullian and all the church fathers, invested the head of the Christian Church with the power to forgive sins, the "clavis ordinis," "the key-power of the Church."
The concept of “binding and loosing” is taught in the Bible in Matthew 16:19: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” In this verse, Jesus is speaking directly to the apostle Peter and indirectly to the other apostles. Jesus’ words meant that Peter would have the right to enter the kingdom himself, that he would have general authority symbolized by the possession of the keys, and that preaching the gospel would be the means of opening the kingdom of heaven to all believers and shutting it against unbelievers. 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. Peter and the other disciples were to continue Christ’s work on earth in preaching the gospel and declaring God’s will to men and they were armed with the same authority as He possessed. In Matthew 18:18, there is also a reference to the binding and loosing in the context of church discipline. The apostles do not usurp Christ’s lordship and authority over individual believers and their eternal destiny, but they do exercise the authority to discipline and, if necessary, excommunicate disobedient church members. It’s not that the apostles were given the privilege of changing God’s mind, as if whatever they decided on earth would be duplicated in heaven; rather, they were encouraged that, as they moved forward in their apostolic duties, they would be fulfilling God’s plan in heaven. When the apostles “bound” something, or forbade it on earth, they were carrying out the will of God in the matter. When they “loosed” something, or allowed it on earth, they were likewise fulfilling God’s eternal plan. In both Matthew 16:19 and 18:18, the syntax of the Greek text makes the meaning clear: “Whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens” (Matthew 16:19, Young’s Literal Translation). Or, as the Amplified Bible puts it, “Whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.” Jesus taught that the apostles had a special task on earth. Their words of authority, as recorded in the New Testament epistles, reflect God’s will for the church. When Paul declared an anathema on those who pervert the gospel, then we know that anathema was already declared in heaven (see Galatians 1:8-9). From gotquestions.org
The TRUTH of the MATTER... (Matt. 16:19) Christ Jesus gave Simon Peter the KEYS to the GATE of the Kingdom of Heaven (Paradise/3rd Heaven)... (Matt. 18:18) Christ Jesus also gave Simon Peter the Power and Authority to Whomsoever/Whatsoever Simon Peter BIND/ALLOW on Earth will also be BOUND/ALLOWED in Heaven, and Whomsoever/Whatsoever Simon LOSE/REJECT on Earth will also be LOST/REJECTED in Heaven."... the RCC (Western Roman Catholic Church) claimed that Simon Peter was the 1st POPE, and GOC (Eastern Greek Orthodox Church) claimed Simon Peter was the 1st Bishop of the Church... Both claimed Simon Peter's Power and Authority given by Christ Jesus was passed on through the next generation of SUCCESSORS... Therefore, if that is TRUE, all denominations of Protestant Churches are at the mercy of RCC/GOC thru their Power and Authority of EXCOMMUNICATION... Any reaction from the Protestants about this matter?... Were this Power and Authority given by Christ including the KEYS to the GATE of Heaven, DIED along with Simon Peter in his grave?... Any Biblical reason/s why was not possible to be passed on to the next generation of successors?... Anyone?... Theologians or Biblical Scholars?... thanks in advance...
Miracle channel..... I'm sure you meant well but you did not Interpret Matthew 16:19 Properly ,.... you may want to Look up (John MacArthur ... binding in loosing ,Matthew 16:19.) I'm sure you meant well but when you're putting things out were thousands of people can see them I recommend doing your homework Like a Borean.
I find that "Binding & Loosening" only works FIRST in our own personal lives. If you(I) or me, are arrogant, recalcitrant, slovenly, perverted...if you search deeply and earnestly God reveals your shortcomings to you, just ask Him. Then, once revealed you become the gatekeeper that can INSTANTLY Bind and Loosen...a perverse thought, and angry retort, a self defeating belief...just have the mental acuity, and SELF DISCIPLINE to closely monitor the "SELF" in you that wants to act out. In my humble opinion until you do this all the time everyday, for long periods of time..to the SELF, you have no right trying elsewhere.
The Bible clearly said I will give to you (Peter) the Keys to the Gate of Heaven... Christ never says I gave you ALL the Keys to the Gate of Heaven... it is specifically given to Peter alone...

When the word becomes ingrained in our being we gain access to the keys from heaven ☁️🔑
