***Nowhere in all the Bible does it say Jesus Christ’s Church is founded on Peter. The very notion is absurd.***

Matt. 16:18-20

“Thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.”

“Thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.”

What rock? The Greek name fr that “rock” is a little stone you could throw”.

Here’s the rock: “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; “ and:

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” - I Peter 2:5

Peter didn’t die for your sins, nor is God making him the foundation of His Church.

What if Jesus was pointing to Himself when He said “on this Rock”?

“Thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church.”

Come now. Read the whole story. The 'rock' was God's revelation to him that Jesus is the Christ, and Peter's witness to this.
