Jesus = petra
Peter = petros.
Not the same thing.
The church, Christ’s body, is built on HIM, even according to Peter.
Amen!
Amen to that too! Yeshua is the rock, not some building.
I do not understand why some say it is a man instead of Jesus. Jesus is the Rock of our salvation not some man.
And once again it's enlightening to look at the Greek. In the verses used in the above article the word for the word for all believers being stones is "lithos" which by Strong's definition means a stone smaller than a Petros which was Peter is a stone. But the word used for which the ekklesia (church) is built on is Petra which is a much larger "mass of connected rock".
4073 pétra (a feminine noun) – "a mass of connected rock," which is distinct from 4074 (Pétros) which is "a detached stone or boulder" (A-S). 4073 (pétra) is a "solid or native rock, rising up through the earth" (Souter) – a huge mass of rock (a boulder), such as a projecting cliff.
