>>In Aramaic you can use kepha in both places in Matthew 16:18.<<

Thus the reason the Holy Spirit had the text written in Greek. He knew the difference. As daniel1212 stated, the Holy Spirit could have also used the same Greek word in each instance BUT HE DIDN'T. If you want to change the words the Holy Spirit had written go for it. But don't call it Christianity built on God's word because it isn't.

Another explanation for writing it in Greek is that it was the most common language of the Eastern Med.
