Thanks for the list, and for reiforcing what has already been emphasized upthread. This is not the first time in FR that the topic has been broached and fought over. For my purposes, I had made up a list that breaks down the words :ROCK" and "STONE" as found in the KJV translations of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek works, as well as the verses in which they occur. So here, forthwith, is that list. Tghere is nothing to be argued in it, but it can be used for reference to define the words for debates here on FR.

=========== end of defined words list =========

Other tha Jesus' one use as recorded in the NT, only Paul speaks of Kefas (transliterated to Cephas in KJV):
1 Cor. 1:12, 3:22, 9:5, 15:5

Paul only spoke of Petros = Peter in Galatians, and that not very positively.

Simon bar Jona's sobriquet (nickname) "Peter" was found 162 times in the NT, and the word was not used in any other way for any other purpose than a nickname. The word is NOT used to translate a rock or a stone, although th word in a sentence does have that meaning. It is a strech to think that Jesus was using the word to describe Simon bar Jona's character, That is a supposition not warranted by the text doctrine.
