The Real Church is built on the rock of St. Peter.
In Scripture, the rock is Jesus Christ, not Peter.
He explicitly made the decision to trust in twelve flawed men. Those men then imitated Christ and sent fourth men just as Christ sent them.
Spreading the gospel and in a sense sharing Christ himself was the mission. To accomplish this Jesus didn't write a book. He wrote nothing in stone. Instead he wrote on the hearts of men.
One exception: He selected Judas, but knew that he was the "son of perdition", where his heart was and even that he was stealing from the collective disciple's ministry purse.
Judas was selected to do what he did.
it could be said that Judas in his own way helped spread the gospel
No argument there. It is the discipleship modeled, then, and the one we are directed to follow today:
And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. (2 Timothy 2:2)
In regards to the written books, the Bible, though:
For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter: 1:21)
The body is the temple, built from the foundation of Christ. Simple enough.
The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, per Scripture, but that is a separate and distinct truth from the reality that the church is the Bride of Christ and the Church Age is how God is interacting with the world given Israel's sin of stubborn rejection of Jesus Christ.
Jesus literally renamed Simon Bar Jonah to Kephr or Petra, another word for...ROCK.
The "rock" (not the meaning he applied here):

Nope.

Amen! Solid Rock!!
In that entire verse he's renaming Simon Bar Jonah to Kephr or Petra...which means ROCK.
Jesus established his church with SIMON BAR JONAH RENAMED...ROCK.
Oh so what if I don't adhere to your interpretation of the Bible? And millions of other Christians?
Only you have perfect understanding of the context? Not Catholic and secular historians?
lol the hubris, the ego.
You're your own little Pope.
DeeoShutSHeepDip thinks he's Pope!
That's rich.
Hardly. Its built on Jesus Christ THE ROCK. peters name means little stone. Ditch the romish fiction.
Jesus renamed Simon Bar Jonah to Kephr or Petra.
Romish fiction? Honey your ancestors were Catholic and you would have no Bible or spread of Christianity without the Catholic Church.
Maybe you should drop the Protestant lies?
Judging trees by their fruit can be so easy.
How's your attempt at division going?
Truth is divisive by nature.
There are other churches that carried the message through all that time besides the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox being only one.
One is a splinter of the other.
Gonna buy that pope some more gold or just children this year
What does that have to do with what I said?
Okay, you took a jab at the current Pope. And? There's been bad Popes all throughout history. Good ones, too. What is your point and what does it have to do with Jesus Christ renaming Simon Bar Jonah? Or the lie of Romish fiction?
