1Tim.3:16- There are two words here that we need to understand. The terms are Rock and Peter. The question is, did Jesus (as you have stated) say He would build the church on Peter or did He mean upon Himself? Ok, the term Peter in the original language is Petros; and the term Rock in the original language is Petra. Petros means a stone, a piece of a rock study John 1:42. Now, the term Petra(Rock) found in Mat. 7:24 is the same as in Mat. 16:18. (Study ICor.10:4). An important question to ask yourself should be; do you build on Peter, Petros or do you build on Jesus Petra? Study Luke 6:47-48 KJV | ||||||

Truth31, In the original Aramaic, Cephas or Kephas has no difference in ending or meaning. Only when translated to the Greek do the endings change. Paul refers to Cephas or Kephas, which makes it dificcult to hold to the petros / petra argument. In the Greek a man's name has to have a masculine ending even if the root word ending like petra is feminine. Paul refers to Peter as Cephas in eight different verses in his letters. Emmaus |
