They would respond by saying "Melody" was such a pretty name. My name is Melanie. This went on for a long time until finally I started writing my middle name as my first name on all my school papers.
If no one was going to say it right, I would just change it. To add insult to injury, I found out that my name means dark; clothed in dark; or this is my favorite one who dwells in darkness. After telling her my sad story of how no one could say my name correctly and that it had a terrible meaning, she told me why she chose my name.

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.
There is confusion that some believe those keys to the kingdom are the same as the key of David. They aren't. Christ has the key of David. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; Rev Keys open the doors to the kingdom and hell won't prevail.
When did Peter use the keys? Peter preached first to the Jews and to the Gentiles. But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: Act While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

What about Peter supposedly passing on the keys to the kingdom? Peter passed on the instructions from Christ to the elders of Asia Minor.

Narnian Narnian CharlesAlsobrook I think the distinction is that yes, Peter's identity and calling were changed, but so was that of Saul of Tarsus.
The book of Acts is basically half Peter and half Paul, and the comparison between the two is quite similar, seeming to equate the new--not exalt Peter over Paul.
I don't feel comfortable doing that. What does Paul's name mean? Did Jesus change it? Mawia Got it! Seems to me that Paul's name change had little or no theological significance, and that Our Lord had little or nothing to do with directly changing his name as he clearly did Peter's.
