do you belong to a Church built on a man?
On Christ the solid ROCK I stand, all other ground is shifting sand.
As I said, not interesting in starting a flame war, I will not convince you and you will not convince me, but I feel a Church built on a man is a very tenuous thing. My Church will never fail because it is built on the only One who will never fail.
Jesus referred to His teachings as the “solid rock” instead of the sinking sand.
He also, indeed, referred to Peter as the rock on which His church was to be built. Simple grammatical analysis of His statement requires that this is what He meant. There is also the Petra/Peter reference. Peter’s name was originally Simon, but Jesus referred to him as Peter in order to make the association with Petra, or Rock.
