However, as to the declaration: Upon this rock I will build My Church, certainly the Church has not been built upon the authority of man, but upon the ministry of the confession which Peter made, in which he proclaims that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. He accordingly addresses him as a minister: Upon this rock, i.e., upon this ministry. [Therefore he addresses him as a minister of this office in which this confession and doctrine is to be in operation and says: Upon this rock, i.e., this preaching and ministry.]
So you've repeated the same lie twice. That doesn't make it real. I noticed you didn't quote scriptures but some liar who is on his way to hell. Yikes. Read the actual scriptures and not the one the Protestants took books out of (another charge usually put to the Catholic church, wrongfully so).
Jesus literally renames Simon Bar Jonah to ROCK for a purpose. The "rock" in that passage is Peter and it's clear as day to anyone who reads and is intellectually honest with themself.
So you argue that a Protestant theological explanation of Scripture (which cites Scripture) isn't valid but then link to a Papist document that presents the same old manipulated interpretation of the Scriptures? But only the latter is correct because ThE VaTicAn SAiD So! Sorry fren, Rome's been lying for centuries. The true ROCK, the cornerstone of the Church, is Jesus. That confession is the Rock upon which He will build His Church. Peter's a good dude, the first Bishop of Rome. But he was 1 of 12 bishops and no more special than any of the rest. Rome fabricated a lie as a means to seize political control within the Church. That's the reality of history. Still waiting for Rome to produce any original manuscripts written in Aramaic... perhaps they are locked away in the Vatican vaults? 🙄 All we have are texts written in Greek, the oldest manuscripts available. πέτρος, petros and πέτρα, petra.... different words, different meanings. Learn your Greek. Study the Scriptures better. Scripture interprets scripture. Context matters.
Jesus doesn't say "upon YOU I will build My Church." He says "upon this πέτρα (petra) I will build My Church." The large, immovable mass of rock He figuratively speaks of, isn't a human... not even the "stone" (πέτρος, petros) of a man like Peter (which is actually quite ironic given Peter's constant wavering... see Matt 14:29-30, Luke 22:57-58, Gal 2:11-14).
Matt. 16:18, “And I also say to you that you are Peter (petros), and upon this rock (petra) I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not overpower it.”
Matt. 27:60, “and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock (petra); and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.”
1 Cor. 10:4, “and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock (petras) which followed them; and the rock (petra) was Christ.”
1 Pet. 2:8, speaking of Jesus says that he is “A stone of stumbling and a rock (petra) of offense”; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.”
Deut. 32:4, “The Rock! His work is perfect, for all His ways are just; a God of faithfulness and without injustice.”
2 Sam. 22:2-3, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; 3 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge.”
Psalm 18:31, “And who is a rock, except our God.”
Isaiah 44:8, “Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock? I know of none.”
Rom. 9:33, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
No, he renamed him. Simon Bar Jonah to Kephr or Petra.
Irrelevant to the passage in question.
No it's not lol
You didn't even present a passage.
