Likewise, Rome is at odds with Peter. He also states that Jesus is the rock on which the church is built.
1 Peter 2
4As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
7So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”
8and
“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
Rome agrees that it is faith in Jesus on which His Church is built. This argument is just silly, -- as if giving Peter his defined role took something away from Christ the Giver. When you tell your daughter to clean the room, does your authority decrease or increase?
