What you haven't done is explain why Christ said, "And I tell you that you are Peter." Did He think Peter had forgotten his name

Peter's name was Simon Bar Jona...Christ named him Peter (petros...Rock)

According to the post I was replying to, Christ had already named him Peter before His statement in Matthew 16:18, and therefore that passage does not identify Simon Peter as the rock on which Christ would build His Church. I was pointing out a hole in that argument.
