You don’t understand the use of metaphor in the Bible. You take a “surface literalist” approach to everything, and decide arbitrarily that if Peter’s faith is compared to a “rock”, that excludes him from also being the “rock” on which the Church was built.

I find this a bit humorous coming from a church that takes John 6 and the last supper texts "literally" but then defines other I am texts as metaphors ...
