whose references??....protestant, Catholic????Jesus referred DIRECTLY to Peter that he (Peter) was indeed the "rock"
Peter means Rock. Just amazing how people just try to take it away. It is getting ideas from authors outside the bible instead of from the bible like some claim. The text is all there when we know without a doubt Peter’s name is rock. It is ludicrous to think otherwise.
No, Yeshua told Peter that he was a small hard pebble, and that Yeshua himself was the rock.
Anything else is the vile sin of creature worship; be careful.
