You said: Good point..

It is only a good point if his personal interpretation of Holy Scripture is correct, which it is not.

He was in error according to whom?..
The RCC treatment of the Holy Spirit appears to me to be as a doofus..
A drone in the dance of the Hive.. the Eucharist dance..

Somehow I see "the church" as more than that..
More than sacraments, litergy and ceremony.. which is like Judaism..

Rather than making a one-liner "snarky" remark why don't you carefully parse the difference between "on" and "of" in regards to Peter?

Neither Scripture or the Catholic Church teaches that the Church was built on Peter.

Matthew 16:
[18] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.


Clearly Peter was not the rock on which Jesus would build His church. Who or what then was Jesus saying His church would be built upon?

Well of course it is...Jesus is the Rock thruout Scripture...

You guys claim Peter and rock are the same thing...Then why aren't they translated the same...Why did Jesus NOT say, you are rock??? And upon this rock,,,,

Or why did Jesus NOT say, you are Peter, and upon this Peter I will build my church???
