[OLD REGGIE]

"...Of huge significance is the fact that Christ changes Simon bar-Jona's name from Simon to Cephas (Rock)."

Was this a name change?

John 21:
[15] When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
[16] A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."
[17] He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

Obviously, Paul thought so, because he ALWAYS refers to "Peter" as "Cephas" in ALL his writings.

And this illustrates why the "traditional" Protestant practice of yanking verses out of context is ridiculous. The Bible is NOT completely consistent. And it was never intended to be, except on matters of doctrine (and you Protestants manage to confuse the issue on THAT, too).
