But your exegesis doesn’t do that. Your exegesis wants us to believe that Christ shared all these divine prerogatives with Peter (keys, binding and loosing), except for this notion of being the “Rock”, which He for some reason kept entirely to Himself.

It does nothing of the kind.

You are trying to put words in my mouth.

I apologize if I’ve misunderstood, but that’s what I gleaned from your post. I thought you were saying that because Christ is the Rock elsewhere in Scripture, Peter cannot be the rock in that verse.

So let me ask you directly...do you think it is possible here that Christ is somehow granting a little bit of his own divine prerogative as the Rock with Peter? Or do you think “upon this Rock” refers to Christ and Christ alone without any relation to Peter whatsoever?
