>>READ the whole Bible - it tells exactly who the ROCK is.

And Jesus was replying to the revelation that Peter received from God on ‘Who Jesus is’. It was on ‘Who HE is’, Jesus the Christ, that His church was being built on. Jesus, the Anointed One. The Rock of our Salvation.<<

Not only did I READ the Bible, I QUOTED it to you. There isn’t much room for insertion of opinion there. Jesus was speaking to Simon and was clear on what He wanted from Simon/Peter.

Any other interpretation is a torturous inversion of a very clear passage.

If you give me a short while I think I can get the Aramaic (although it has been a while) and that should help provide the positional context you seem intent on distorting.

But no guarantees. Original Biblical passages in Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek seem to come and go on the Internet — I think educational institutions like to hide them but quien sabe...

Reading with the Holy Spirit is useless.

Again, it's not a certain language you need to be better equipped, it's the Holy Spirit.

1 Cor 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
