Yahshua said He Himself is the Rock and Peter is the pebble (Cephas).
1 Corinthians 1:12-13
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
In other words, Christians are united either in Christ or not at all.
Yahshua is the chief corner stone, not Peter.
Ephesians 2:20
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
1 Peter 2:6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
I was born and raised Roman Catholic. I already knew what the video was going to talk about within 30 seconds of playing it, and downloaded the transcripts to confirm my assumptions.
Matthew 16:13-20
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
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.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
"Thou art Peter (pebble), and upon this rock (chief corner stone) I will build my church."
And to answer the very first point in the video about exegesis, we have our answer here-
John 1:42
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
Oh, wait, they cover that verse in the video yet fail to explain Cephas means pebble.
Matthew 21:42
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
I’m a former Seventh-Day Adventist, struggling to stay afloat, since I’ve abandoned my raft and I’m making my way to the Ship (as you explain it). A month ago I began reading the Catechism to dialogue with Catholicism (something which is considered heretical in SDA, a position I can’t understand as I have a Catholic background, being the only SDA in my family). And that reading convinced me I was aboard the wrong vessel, but didn’t quite made my mind if I were to swim to the Ship.
I watched many conversion stories and many spoke about Peter being the rock, and I got angrier each time: Peter isn’t the rock! The confession of Jesus being the Son of God is the Rock! Petros means pebble and Petra means rock! I said to myself.
Until last week I couldn’t stand it… I’ve studied Greek! I will show them! See… Petros, Petra! There’s a difference! Let’s see in a dictionary: Petros is pebble, and Petra is rock.
But another dictionary said they both meant the same… Mmm… I became suspicious… Because I realized the first was a Protestant dictionary, and the second one was Catholic. So I checked my old Greek dictionary from when I studied classics… They have no theological bias… And lo and behold: both words mean rock, cliff, cavern…
I searched both words in the Greek Bible, and in the LXX both words are used indistinctly to mean rock, cliff, cavern. So I called a friend of mine who studies at a Catholic Seminary (while I study in an Adventist Seminary) and told him laughing: I have a problem… I’m becoming Catholic…
Jesus history himself called Peter the Petra (gr) a tiny stone. Then Jesus said about himself I am the rock Petros (gr) the large stone and upon Christ is the church built. All you gotta do is read the Bible and it's clear as a bell.
The Catholics claim Peter was the first Pope.
Yahshua said He Himself is the Rock and Peter is the pebble (Cephas).

Jesus was giving the seat of authority to Peter. That's what is going on. How can you deny something so obvious and in your face?
Read that entire chapter and think long and hard about what Jesus is doing...SETTING UP HIS CHURCH.
