Jesus never said to Peter *Upon YOU I will build my church.*

Nor did He say to the other disciples *Upon HIM I will build my church.*

The church is build of living stones (us) of which Peter, for example, is a small stone of, as are the rest of us.

It’s actual blasphemy, imo. The idea that Peter is the foundation, and the chief corner stone—Jesus—rests upon Peter, gives a sinful man precedence over God. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The church is built upon divinely revealed truth: that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God. No less a foundation is sufficient.
