Looks like you're reading the Bible in light of the doctrine you were taught.
No, not at all, I am reading the Bible and taking it at it's word, that's all.
Keep reading, you might see it.
Just remember, each time the word ROCK is used, name ONE TIME where it CLEARLY is used for a man.
it never is.
NEVER
not once.
Only the RCC tries to tell you it is, that is my point. For Peter to be THE ROCK in that passage, you would have to ignore what was taught in all previous passages about WHO the ROCK was and what THE ROCK was about in order to believe that the ROCK in Matthew was Peter, and not a truth about God and who He is.
Starting right at Deuteronomy. Please re-read what I posted.
