Jesus said that Peter was *petros*(masculine) and that on this *petra*(feminine) He would build His church.

Peter was a ma; it would be very odd to refer to him using a feminine name.

As mentioned before..

...they have to layer everything with more verbage, lines upon lines of definitions and goobly-goop ...until the obvious understanding of the text gets ‘snuffed out’ so they can feel the intelligence fuzzy strokes across their backs.

...and no wonder they can't ‘apply’ what it says and their behavior is what it is.......they've ‘smothered’ the meaning of the text and it's purpose....

Read the verses provided.

Paul tells us clearly and plainly that the *petra* is Christ.
