Jesus is The Rock.

Of course, He is. Are you suggesting that Jesus couldn't create smaller rocks, who are completely dependent on Him, on which Jesus might build His Church?

Why do y’all insist on puting a man in that position?

I didn't put St. Peter in that position, FRiend; Jesus did. Read Matthew 16:18. I didn't force Jesus to give St. Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven; nor did I force Him to rename Simon as "rock". Why is this so difficult? Why tie oneself into pretzels trying to deny the plain sense of the Scripture? Jesus renamed Simon "rock"--whether huge or small, it makes no nevermind--and then promised to build His Church on that rock (i.e. on Peter).

We'all didn't...Jesus did...read it yourself.
