Whereas if you follow the Bible and the pattern laid out centuries before in SCRIPTURE,THE ROCK is always God,and who GOD is,not a man,never a man,never will be man.

What about IS.51:1 and 2? Those passages say:

Give ear to me,you that follow that which is just,and you that seek the Lord:Look to the ROCK from which you were hewn,to the pit from which you were dug out.

Look to Abraham,your father,and to Sarah that bore you:for I called him alone,and blessed him and multiplied him."

So it seems to me that he referred to another man as Rock,and significantly,it was the other man whose name He changed,to reflect a new "assignment" from God.

BTW,I did not answer the post you directed to me because it seemed that you were responding to someone else's post.

(Isa 51:1 KJV) Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

(Isa 51:2 KJV) Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

That rock sounds more like the place of despair or distress where they are stuck, where they are placed between, look at the second half of the verse, was Abraham also the hole in the pit??

No, Abraham is not connected to the word ROCK here, where did you get that? Rock here represents a situation, a place of being, an anology of where the state of Israel is in the time of coming judgement.

Rock here is not Abraham! :)
