>>If Christ had meant to call Peter a small stone there was a perfectly good word to use "Lithos" which is the root word of Lithograph, Lithography, etc....<<

The Holy Spirit accurately used the words He intended. And they were words that have a distinctly different meaning.

◄ 2786. Képhas ► Strong's Concordance Képhas: "a rock," Cephas, a name given to the apostle Peter

1 Cor 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.

John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter).

1 Corinthians 1:12 What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."

Well it seem that the Holy Spirit wanted him Called "Rock."

I realize the truth will not change the heart of pharaoh, so feel free to have the last word.
