Hello angel1, The "rock" was the confession that Peter made. Read below this verse and see that Jesus ask "who do men say that I am?" And Peter confessed that He was the Christ the Son of the Living God. And Jesus being please with this confession this "rock solid" evidence) that He was indeed the Christ. Jesus then says that on this rock, this confession, He would build His church. Matthew 16 Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ (3) 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" 14So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. I hope this has helped. Your friend in Christ, Raven |

Hi Raven--raves for you--I asked the question -like a lawyer-knowing the answer--or at least the answer I thought was right. The "rock" is the mutual recognition between Jesus and His followers. I wonder why I don't hear preachers preach on this.Maybe it is so obvious to protestants that they don't mention it- but I was raised Catholic and they need this message. Thanks for your reply-in Him angel-1 | ||||||

Hello Angel1, I was going to say in my reply to you something about Catholics and the way they believe this scripture. But I was not that clear on the details. Is it something like they teach that the church was founded on Peters teaching and doctrine and not Jesus? Please write back if you know and explain to me. Thanks Your friend in Christ, Raven |

Roman Catholics teach that the Mother Church is founded on Peter the MAN. Hence the Popes are successors to Peter and the bishops are all successors to the apostles, in what is claimed to be an unbroken line. --Joe! |
