Spare me the condescencion, and just read the Bible you have, then, believe what you read.

Peter is not the ROCK.

The English is good enough for me.

Besides, just because you know two or three words in a foreign language that you copied and pasted from another website most likely doesn't mean you understand foreign languages.

At least I know I don't speak the Oriental languages. I presume that's an insult of some kind, however.

I'm not being condescending - I'm telling you the unvarnished truth. If that bothers you, I'm sorry. You would be well advised, however, to read something other than your favorite translation of the Bible if you want to indulge in textual criticism. Otherwise, you just expose your ignorance for all to view.

As for "cutting and pasting", anybody can say anything on the internet, but I have an undergraduate honors history degree with a minor in Classics. I am fluent in German, read Scottish Gaelic, Latin and Greek (Classical) competently, and can get along in Koine Greek with a crib. Cutting and pasting does no good -- unless you actually can read the language, you are simply relying on somebody else's interpretation. They could tell you anything and you wouldn't know any better.

Which is, sort of, the position you are in.
