Great is the MEGO in THIS one.
We have the promise of Christ - “And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.”
How many times does God have to say that He is the only rock not Peter, not the Pope, or not Mary. Well I guess for a roman catholic there is no such number.

LORD, are you not from everlasting? My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, LORD, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish.
Sound reproof (and good to hear from you), and indeed in contrast to Peter, that the LORD Jesus is the Rock (“petra”) or "stone" (“lithos,” and which denotes a large rock in Mk. 16:4) upon which the church is built is one of the most abundantly confirmed doctrines in the Bible (petra: Rm. 9:33; 1Cor. 10:4; 1Pet. 2:8; cf. Lk. 6:48; 1Cor. 3:11; lithos: Mat. 21:42; Mk.12:10-11; Lk. 20:17-18; Act. 4:11; Rm. 9:33; Eph. 2:20; cf. Dt. 32:4, Is. 28:16) including by Peter himself. (1Pt. 2:4-8) Rome's current catechism attempts to have Peter himself as the rock as well, but also affirms: “On the rock of this faith confessed by St Peter, Christ build his Church,” (pt. 1, sec. 2, cp. 2, para. 424) which understanding some of the so-called “church fathers” concur with.)
Good question; but you can pretty much bet when yet another FR Catholic selectively posts that PETER is the Rock; another FReeper will come along after that and SPAM the thread with SCRIPTURE!

The Greek doesn’t matter to them except when they want to make their point.
Otherwise, if it disproves them, they write it off.
God called Peter the Rock. He only needs to say it once.
