[MarkBsnr]

St Peter was not a *pope*

He was the first one, appointed by Jesus. So no, not just a pope.

As I posted earlier..

The word petros for Peter in the Greek is in the masculine gender and the word petra for the rock is in the feminine gender.

Petros and petra are two distinct words in the Greek. Petros is a shifting, rolling, or insecure stone, while petra is a solid, immov­able rock.

This is why CHRIST is referred as the *Bridgegroom* coming for his *BRIDE* the *CHURCH* the rock (petra, feminine gender)

Mark 8:29

But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

John 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

John 6:69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”
