Making both petra and petros translate into the same thing and then building a doctrine on that weak translation, is what makes God a liar.
Christ is the PETRA on which the church is built. Paul identified Him as such.
Paul did NOT say that the church was built on PETROS which he very easily could have if he meant the church was built on Peter.
The Greek words are distinct and mean different things and were chosen for that reason.
Its really revealing, the depths of deception, that enable someone to deny what Scriptiure says to hang on to and defend a cherished doctrine.
Doctrine should be compared to Scripture and adjusted to Scripture if necessary. Comparing Scripture to doctrine and adjusting Scripture to the doctrine shows that deception has already occurred.
Paul did NOT say that the church was built on PETROS which he very easily could have if he meant the church was built on Peter.
I have already said i do not know if Jesus was saying that Peter was the rock Jesus was going to build his Church on.
What i said is right here.
John 1:42
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 Greek has it as stone but that does not change the meaning of what Jesus said in Aramaic, any one who says Peter was not called a rock is calling Jesus a liar, but are themselves a liar.
