It's an inference, an assumption, and interpretation people have come up with to explain his statement that he HAS those "keys." Much like the Trinity is never mentioned in the Bible as well. It too is an interpretation people came up with to explain the discrepancies between all the statements of Jesus being God, and all the statements and actions that he is not God. It kills me when people say you have to take the Bible literally, even the absolute absurdities like the Creation story and Noah's ark, and yet they are free to interpret and assume and contort the Bible all they want to fit their particular beliefs.

I never thought too much about Judas. You bring up some very good points to examine. By the way, I think Jesus taking the keys of hell away from Satan was only metaphorical. I don't think any of the gospels say he actually did that physically, do they? Interesting perspective! I never thought too much about Judas. You bring up some very good points to examine.
