I have not seen the word little rock or massive stone in the scripture, are you sure it really says that? Thanks

Raven. These two guys read and translate Greek. Ask them about the Greek. I have an advantage too. My neighbor, here in the Philippines, was born and raised in Greece. Greek, obviously, is his first language. I did not ask him about the rock thing, but I have shown him parallel Greek/English Bible verses. He looks at both, and screws up his face, and says, if he were going to translate the Greek to English, he would do it exactly the same way it’s been done in KJV, since that is the translation I had.

I suspect there's a LOT of things you've never seen in the scriptures...

Nonsense.

You were shown the Greek in post 86 where I showed you that in the Greek, where *Petros* means little rock and Paul says that Christ is the *Petra*, and that is bedrock.

In the Greek, they are different words denoting different things.

If you choose to ignore the plain meaning of the words in the original language, you are wrong.
