They themselves argued over it and Jesus did not designate anyone. So, speculation is all you have. Simon Bar-Jona...you are now Cephas...Rock, and upon this Rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. are you still confused???

You are; for you KNOW that when we post Scripture the RM tells us to include chapter and verse.
