Deflect, deflect and then deflect some more.
Were there or were there not Jews in the Church?
You said the Church was built by the Gentiles, hence my question.
Try to focus and answer that question.
Oh, and nice dodge once again regarding the question as to why Jesus, God, THE ROCK, chose for Simon a name which means rock.
..maybe because some of the bone-headed things he did as a disciple earned him the nickname “dumb as a box of Petros”...
Of course there were but the focus was no longer on the Jews as a whole because they had rejected Christ.

I don’t believe anyone really knows but it certainly wasn’t to replace God.
Psalm 18:31, "And who is a rock, except our God."
God even says there is not other Rock.
Isaiah 44:8, "Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock? I know of none."
Paul said there is not other than Christ who the church is built on.
1 Cor. 3:11, "For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ,"
