1 | IS PETER | Matt 16:18 | PYLE | 715 | ||
IS PETER THE ROCK UPON WHICH THE CHURCH WAS BUILT? | ||||||
2 | IS PETER | Matt 16:18 | elbib | 783 | ||
Peter's name is stone or SMALL rock hardly a foundation. Christ is the foundation of the church and there can only be one foundation. what Jesus means is what Peter said JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD its that statement that the church is to be built on. Jesus is the son of God that came to earth to die for our sins then rise and return to heaven to sit at the right hand of the father. If Peters statement was not true how could the life and death of Jesus mean anything. elbib |

Peter had just made the comment that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus replies that flesh and blood had not revealed that to him but God had. Jesus then does a play on words, He says you are Peter(Petros, a rock or boulder) and upon this rock(petra, bedrock, a mass of rock i.e. foundational) I will build my church. Petros can be moved, petra cannot be moved. This is a great word picture in the original language, a lot lost in translation. | ||||||
