Subject: Mathew 16:18--what is the "rock"? |
Bible Note: Hi angel-1, I would like to add to this if I may? The church that Jesus is speaking of in Matthew 16:18 is very unique. Matt. 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The church spoken of by Christ, isn't even an organization, it's an organism, no denomination, no bricks or even stained glass! The members of this elite organism, some of which belong to different organizations, are actually parts of Christ body, with him being the head. All the special members of this church have something in common, and I am sure that you know what it is, as do the rest that belong to this special church, because they all became members the same way.
