My thought is that this is fundamentally dishonest.

You think that Jesus was dishonest when he told peter you shall be called Cephas which means a rock?

Cephas means rock in both Hebrew and Aramaic, what it meas in Greek means nothing.

The Bible was written in Greek but most scholars agree that Jesus spoke in Aramaic.

John 1:42
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

The interpretation stone is Greek but if you look in the dictionary you will see that Cephas means rock.

So i will repeat myself, what it means in Greek means nothing.

If you don’t believe in the divine, God-breathed inspiration of Scripture and Divine Providence, then there’s nothing to say.

If you believe in these things, then you understand that God preserved this text in Greek because he willed for us to have it in Greek. One reason for Greek’s superiority: it is clearer, linguistically, than Aramaic.
