Well, since all the Catholic are gone... I think it's good if we can discuss and affirm faith together why Jesus is the Rock in Mat 16:18 and not Peter...
Old Testaments
De 32:4
He is the Rock , His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.
2Sa 22:32 and Psalm 18:31
"For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
Old Testament has teaches us that KIng David and Samuel has told us that there will be no one can be the rock except God....
New Testament
1Co 10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
Ephesians 2:20-22
having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
Re 21:14
Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The two verses has clearly stated that Peter was one of the foundations and therefore, cannot be the rock of the the Holy Temple of God since he is put the same as the rest of the apostles of Jesus.
Jesus, therefore is the rock.
