Sure we understand why Simons name was changed....but not as your faith depicts it at all. Besides...Jesus is the Rock...our foundation.... above all else. Peter was one of his apostles....why make it more confusing then it is?
It’s not confusing to me, but it must be to protestants since I have never received a direct answer to the question.
God always had a purpose when He changed someone’s name and the name reflected the purpose.
What was Jesus’ purpose in changing Simon’s name to Petros?
