For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

So many 'little rocks' stirring the clear waters ... much 'confusion' ... (Babylon means confusion)...

Very interesting! A place where multilevel false gods enter.
........................

What does the name Babylon mean?

gate of the god

Name. The spelling Babylon is the Latin representation of Greek Babylṓn (Βαβυλών), derived from the native (Babylonian) Bābilim, meaning “gate of the gods”.

What is Babylon mean in the Bible?

The city is both a prophecy and type of a religious system destroyed by God (Isa. 21:9; Jer. 50:24; 51:64; Rev. 16:19; 17:5; 18:2–3). Although the name “Babylon” is derived from the Akkadian word babilu meaning “gate of god,” it is an evident counterfeit of God’s eternal city.

I see no problem even if Jesus was referring to Peter as a rock to begin building with.

My issue is no where biblically does Peter’s received grace, wisdom, nor authority confer or pass down to anyone else.

Yes there is a chain of leaders in the church but my issue is somehow assuming that a role Peter had now makes you infallible under special circumstance just because you fill that role, not because you are actually right with God.

What I find amazing is 2200 years later Christians still split hairs...

Could only imagine those first few years after his death. Sheesh.

God is the ascent, Jesus is a Path, churches are merely a sign post.

Stop with this nonsense of my Church is better than yours for if you truly believe u don't need to peck.
