BTW, I wanted to ask you, when Jesus said, upon this rock I will build my church, I am 100% sure he did not mean Peter, but was He referring to that statement of faith that Peter made, or was He referring to Himself? That is what I think He meant, on Himself, but give me your opinion please.

He meant Peter and, in fact, called him by name.

You are Petros and upon this petra I will build my church.

He did not say. talking to Peter, “Upon YOU will I build my church”.

Nor did He say, talking to the other disciples, “Upon HIM will I build my church”.

Additionally, when James and John were arguing about who would be the greatest of them all, there would have been the PERFECT opportunity for Jesus to say, *Too bad, guys. Peter’s got the job*, and yet He didn’t.

Not one word from Jesus to the other disciples to that effect.

[Mark17]

He meant Peter and, in fact, called him by name.

He used different words, as metmom points out. Again, we disagree, and we will always disagree. So be it. I am happy as a lark with my standing with the Lord. I no longer have the incredible spiritual blindness I did before my conversion. I am content with it. I attend Calvary Chapel. I am content with that too.
