If it is Greek, Latin or pig Latin it still means rock.

Yes it does...But it means small rock, as opposed to the massive rock which is Jesus...And Jesus built his church on the massive rock, not the little one...

I am sorry maybe I just can not read but I have
not seen anything in regards to the size of the rock,. stone or what ever.

Jesus called Simon Cephas, I went to six different dictionarys,

Two of them said it was Hebrew for rock, four of
them said it was armaraic. probably misspelled, for rock.

Greek takes it to stone.

I don’t know if Jesus spoke Hebrew or just what but he did
use cephas which means rock, not little rock or big rock
but just rock.

Some people unwisely build their theology on a translation instead of what the Greek really says

Their mind is made up.

Don’t confuse them with the facts.

(Good try though)
