Why are we hijacking this thread?
Well I use the Koine greek and if the Greek is feminine then that is how I translate it. If the RCs want to use Aramaic/Latin, that is their choice.For you it is a no brainer... for those who search the scriptures to see if it is so.. there is much prayer and study and waiting for the Lord to reveal to confirm or deny this concept of Peter as the rock which Yeshua was speaking of.
...not mine.
Hear all those fans? They're screaming for Jesus. Not Peter.....JESUS!
They're saying "Woo-hoo Jesus!!! You're the Rock!!!!"

How big would a rock be?The beamishboy agrees. We must all make it a point to remember that glory must always go to God; not Mary, Peter or anyone else however much our human nature wants it. The rock is Jesus; not Mary, Peter or anyone else our fallen nature demands.
For some of us, it may be a struggle to think of God alone. The image of Mary, Peter and someone else might muscle its way into our minds. But resist we must if we are truly devoted only to God; not Mary, Peter or anyone else.
What about George?...
...that's a tough one for me actually.
This "one true church" doctrine can be traced to one verse of Scripture, which, when compared with other Scriptures, is found not to teach this doctrine at all. When Jesus asked his disciples who He was, Peter responded:
"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matthew 16:16"
Then Jesus answered Peter:
"... thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18
Catholicism contends that the Lord was referring to Peter as the rock, and has since built the entire Catholic religion upon that premise. But all other pertinent Scriptures declare that Jesus was referring to Himself as the rock, not Peter:
"... for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ." 1 Corinthians 10:4

God forbid!!!hmm so now you're saying that we're "not putting God first" and taking away from His glory?
I'd be really careful with making judgements like that about people's hearts.
Who called the police?Why are we hijacking this thread?
If only we'd hear more of that !...not mine.

I thought it was a very nice reminder to all of us, not to exalthmm so now you're saying that we're "not putting God first" and taking away from His glory?
I'd be really careful with making judgements like that about people's hearts. It comes off as arrogant, brother...sorry.
Hey Monica. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying Jesus is the Rock....not Peter. Take what you may out of that...but I didn't think of it that deep to be making any sort of judgment on anyone's heart.hmm so now you're saying that we're "not putting God first" and taking away from His glory?

...very concise.If only we'd hear more of that !
Odd that no RC responding to my verses heredouble
Who called the police?
(I started a new thread for us!)
If only we'd hear more of that !
Good reminder
I thought it was a very nice reminder to all of us, not to exalt
any creation above the creator (Romans 1)
But I can understand the sore spots and our natural tendancy
to shield it.
(HI there btw)
Not sure you totally misunderstood, because it is prettyOki I'm sorry
I took like it like you're saying that by thinking that Peter is the rock, we are putting him above Christ or taking away from His glory.. but I don't see it that way.
sorry if i misunderstood..
