>> You didn't answer. Was Peter named Rock by Jesus?<<

Can you ever answer a simple yes or no question with out going off on one of your tangents? Whe one of my students pulls this garbage you just know that he / she has painted themselves into a corner, so try it again.....

Was Peter named Rock by Jesus? This requires only a yes of no answer.

If a teacher is so poor at reading comprehension it may be time to reconsider the line of work. We all can see and understand that indeed Jesus did call him Peter. He also called him Satan. What’s your point?

http://biblos.com/matthew/16-18.htm

Jesus said to Peter that he was a Petros (rock) and upon this petra (rock) He would build His church.

While in English both words are translated into *rock*, in the Greek it is more than obvious that the words are not the same.

Now, about that reading comprehension........
