Historical revisionism. Considering Luther's contradicting of himself, repeatedly, along with all of his other problems; drunkenness, schizophrenia, paranoia, inability to control his libido, et al, it's quite the stretch for you to definitively claim what conclusion(s) he came to. This is hardly the person you want to build a religious foundation upon.

My "church" was built upon the Rock of Christ Jesus.

All other foundations are sinking sand.

Carry on. :-)

That the Roman Church is more honored by God than all others is not to be doubted

2 Pet. 2:18 "For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error."

1 Cor. 3:18-21 "18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be Wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The LORD knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore let no man glory in men."

Ps. 94:11 "The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity."

2 Tim. 2:19 "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The LORD knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the Name of Christ depart from iniquity."

Man's foolish brand of "wisdom" redefines every need of man. Take, for example, the need of Love. Love is foundational to every need of every man. To trust the vain notions of fallible creatures as wise counsel in defining Love, works HAVOC and DESTRUCTION on every area of life in which Love is required-- and Love is required in every area of life.

"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD" (Jeremiah 17:5). Notice in this verse, the LORD says that if you trust flesh, you depart from Him--

"maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD."

God is no respecter of persons, why would He be respecter of churches, ie: denominations.

Lets begin honoring God together, the Men of God we are

So Jesus called Simon "rock" why again?

Jesus was the architect and Simon was the Rock.
