And you have consistently avoided the fact that Christ spoke in Aramaic and that changes your interpretation of Matthew 16:18.

Still avoiding those verses?

So did the writers of scripture translate it into Greek on their own or did Jesus instruct them to do it???

And which dialect of Aramaic did Jesus speak??? There were about a thousand of them...

And why didn't the Aramaic to Greek translators write,

Thou are petra and upon this petra I will build my church???

THIS is the Latin that Jerome translated into the Vulgate:

18 et ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam

You might want to notice that Jerome used two differnt words for rock instead of one...Isn't it odd that Jerome didn't bother with the 'original Aramaic'???

I don't believe your argument has an ounce of merit...
