Promoting the supposition that Matthew wrote the gospel in Hebrew but there is no documented proof is tantamount to a lack of faith in God’s ability to preserve His word “for all generations” as He promised.

But it has been preserved, after being translated into Greek and Latin, by Catholics.

Proof you can fool some of the people all the time.

CB:Promoting the supposition that Matthew wrote the gospel in Hebrew but there is no documented proof is tantamount to a lack of faith in God’s ability to preserve His word “for all generations” as He promised.

Sal: But it has been preserved, after being translated into Greek and Latin, by Catholics.

So that means that it was the CATHOLIC CHURCH which used the words *petra* and *Petros* in Matthew there.

Making the word for *rock* mean small stone in one case and bedrock in another.

And then it was the CATHOLIC CHURCH which penned this, too, right?

1 Corinthians 10:1-4 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock (petra) that followed them, and the Rock (petra) was Christ.
