Like I have said before, the Bible has already been translated.

How can any one claim to believe in sola scripture which
I do and then not believe any thing Jesus said.

I believe the Bible Is translated right we don’t need any
more.

How people can swear that all scripture comes from God and then think God was not smart enough to make sure it was translated right is more than I can understand.

Let me take a little bit of a stab at this. I think Imardmd1 is saying there are two different Greek words Petros and Petra. Peter’s name meant a small stone. The ROCK Jesus talked about building the church in, meant a huge rock, like the Rock of Gibraltar.
Now, the Bible does not come right out with the words “this rock means Christ.” The implication is there, when you compare it with other verses. Other people have these other verses archived and can list all of them. The only one I can remember right off hand, is 1Cor 10:4. “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
Now, knowing all this, gives us a deeper understanding of our beliefs. Somethings may be a little difficult to understand, but then again, I don’t understand the inner workings of a GE-90-115 turbofan jet engine, but I still get on that Boeing 777 and fly to the Philippines 🇵🇭 every year.
Even though I may not have a perfect understanding of some things in the Bible, there is one issue that I DO understand extremely well, and that is the plan of salvation, and how one goes from spiritual death, to Spiritual life. I think you are right, God was smart enough to know that salvation verses, needed to be so clear, a child could understand it.
