Peter is *petros* in the Greek, not *petra*.

Catholicism makes a blatant error and mistranslation to support the claim that Peter is the rock on which the church of Christ is built.

Heigh ho.

Πέτρος masculine.
Πέτρα feminine.
Κηφας masculine.
כיפא masculine.

When Paul refers to Peter in Galatians and 1 Corinthians he uses Cephas.

John 1:42 says Petros is a translation of Cephas.

It might be that the distinction between Petros and Petra is intended, and in any case Catholic teaching is not that Peter is Jesus' equal.

But if the error is "blatant", the blatancy is not lexicographic.

Again, you make false statements about the teaching of the Catholic church.

I presume that you know the Greek was the translation from the Aramaic the language that Jesus and Simon spoke. There was no distinction between petros and petra. False teachers trying to sell their product.

Why dis Jesus give the keys to the kingdom to Peter?
Why did Jesus give the power to bind and loosen?

Go back to the Truth to show your faith in Jesus.
