Nope...Doesn't make good English, or Greek...I have a feeling Jesus passed all of his Greek classes...Your guys built an entire religion on the perversion of that one verse...

Of course it doesn't make good English. Jesus spoke Aramaic. Not Greek. Not English. In Aramaic, the language Jesus and Peter spoke, Simon’s new name was Kepha (which means a massive rock). So Christ would have said, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Kepha, and upon this Kepha I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mat 6:18

Because of gender in the Greek Language, this was translated into Greek as Petros and into English as Peter.

Peter/Petros/Kepha is the Rock of this verse.

Your point fails since the original Greek in that verse uses two different, and completely separate, words for "rock."

He was not talking about building His church on Peter, but on the confession in verse 16.
