Jesus Christ told me through Scripture, and 2,000 years of Catholic tradition and understanding support it.

15 Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?

16 Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus answering said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

I know that you disagree with the Catholic interpretation of this Scripture, as well as John 6, but you asked where I got my information.

God bless.

Go have you ever read the bible for yourself? The church uses 4 or 5 proof texts as absolute proof that they are the ones to interpret it. This is one of them

What does the bible say about the Rock on which the church is built?

Rom 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Is this speaking of Jesus or Peter? This is Paul speaking. Who did he think the rock was?

David knew

Psa 118:22   The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.

Jesus knew He was rejected and what did he say about Himself?

Mat 21:42   Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Peter knew who the rock was

  1Pe 2:6   Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

1Pe 2:7   Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient,the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

Go read the Bible for yourself..not in bits and pieces in Mass ...read the word of God

From the earliest of time the message was sent Go..read it for yourself

1Cr 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
