And Peter is the rock upon which He chose to build his Church.

No, that would be Peter's comfession upon which Jesus would build His church. Not Peter.

[RobbyS]

But Peter is the one he speaks to directly. As the Scripture makes cleasr, he is the first of the twelve. Just look at how much we know about Peter and how little about the others.

[Petrosius]

Nice try guys, but you cannot run away from the clear words of our Lord. Do you not understand that by denying this that you are the ones who are violating sola scriptura and introducing human tradition by relying on your confessional interpretations that would move the meaning of our Lord's words from referring to Peter, whom He named 'Rock', to refer to only his confession. Nor do you address the institution of a unique office given to Peter by the conferral of the keys.
