Christ built His Church on the rock, which is Peter.
Peter is the rock on which Christ built His Church. Peter is the rock of the Church. It means the same thing.
You sit ON your desk chair. You don't sit on Peter, but Christ built His Church on Peter.
The “desk chair” attempt at linguistic equivalence is just plain silly.
Jesus is the rock on which the church is built, as per Peter himself in the epistle he himself wrote.
Peter never claimed to be the rock on which Christ built His church. Why you insist on claiming something that about Peter that Peter himself never claimed about himself is beyond me, but I’d think that Peter would know better what Jesus meant than you for a variety of reasons.
I’ll take Peer’s word for it. Or is that on it....? Or maybe about it....?
You can't believe the scriptures and believe that...I have yet to see a Catholic who doesn't change the wording of the scriptures to try to twist it into something it doesn't say...You guys either add to it, take away from it, or claim it doesn't say what it says...
Jesus never called Peter the rock...Jesus said, 'upon this rock'...
And any one can see that if the rock was anyone other than Jesus, it would have been the Apostle Paul...Paul was the one commissioned to build the church...Peter was wrong on doctrine and faded into obscurity as the church was being built, on Jesus Christ...
The Apostle John outlasted them all and was still revealing God's word long after Peter was gone...Perhaps it was John who was the rock...
One thing is for certain; that when one reads and believes the scripture, it clear that Peter was NOT the rock of the church...
