Matthew 16:18

2ndpillar You have a lot of opinion...

Matthew was originally written in Aramaic. John 1:42 is Aramaic for Rock is Cephas!
Jesus is portrayed as the builder of the Church, not the building. He said, “I will build my church.” Jesus is “the wise man who built his house upon the rock (Matt. 7:24) in Matthew’s Gospel. it does not fit the context to have Jesus building the Church upon himself. He’s building it upon Peter. Jesus is building on ROCK he is a wise man NOT a fool!

The "rock" is NOT the "cornerstone", The building is built ON (Peter) Rock! The cornerstone of the BUILDING is Jesus! ROCK is the foundation the cornerstone is NEVER the foundation of a building!
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The FOUNDATION of the Church Jesus built is ON ROCK! The CHIEF ROCK is Peter!

2ndpillar Stop your nonsense about a Cornerstone being a FOUNDATION!

Peter is the CHIEF SHEPHERD of God' holy flock! Jesus commissioned Peter for the Job!
John 21:17
He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

Peter strengthen the other apostles!
Luke 22:32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren.”

Peter speaks for Jesus with Jesus' AUTHORITY: Peter COMMANDS men!
, 47 “Can any one forbid water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days.

God the father from Heaven kept Peter from error!
17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

The Church Jesus built will never fail, built on ROCK!
The Church Jesus built is still around today.. The Church Jesus built has roots back to the Apostles it is "Apostolic"!
The Church Jesus built is HOLY it is Blameless because Jesus is Holy and Blameless!
The Church Jesus build is Catholic because God is Catholic!
The Church Jesus built is ONE and only ONE all others were started by Men who MUST reject the scriptures!

The language of the gospel of Matthew is pretty much in the air. As a tax collector, collecting taxes for the government, he most likely also spoke Greek along with Aramaic of the other apostles. The know little scholars argue between Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew. The bible you use was most likely a copy from the Greek version, and not from some Aramaic source.
Your quote from John 21:17 is with respect to John pointing out, with tongue in cheek, that Peter was none other than the "worthless shepherd" of Zechariah 11:16-17, who wouldn't feed, care or tend the sheep, but who would be used to "pasture" the "flock doomed for slaughter" (Gentile church)(Zechariah 11:7). John couldn't say it out loud because of what Yeshua commanded in Matthew 13:28-29. Whereas Peter told Yeshua he loved him 3 times in John 21:17, he also told Yeshua he would not leave him 3 times, but because of Zechariah 13:7, Yeshua knew Peter would leave him (scatter), and that he would not feed, care, or tend the sheep (Zechariah 11:16).
As for what a cornerstone is, it is a foundation stone which happens to be located at the corner.

Jesus built his Church ON ROCK!
nPeace The Church is the Body of Jesus!
Yes. That's correct. I'm glad you agree. Peter is a member of that body, is that not so?

The Rock will never fail thus the Body of Jesus will never fall! The Holy Church will last forever to the very end of the world!
Correct again. Because the congregation is build on the solid rock, it will stand.
Only those made to stumble, and reject the rock will not stand.
Romans 9:33
as it is written: “Look! I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, but the one who rests his faith on it will not be disappointed.”
1 Peter 2:6-8
For it says in Scripture: “Look! I am laying in Zion a chosen stone, a precious foundation cornerstone, and no one exercising faith in it will ever be disappointed.” It is to you, therefore, that he is precious, because you are believers; but to those not believing, “the stone that the builders rejected, this has become the chief cornerstone” and “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They are stumbling because they are disobedient to the word. To this very end they were appointed.

Notice that you have not responded to my questions. Why not?
Recall, the Pharisees kept silent when Jesus questioned them too. To answer would put them in trouble with the people. Remaining silent did not get them off the hook. Not only were they self condemned. They were condemned by the one who knew their wicked heart.

So I ask again... How many rocks were the congregation built on?
If Peter is the rock the congregation is built on, where does that leave Christ... or John, Nathaniel, etc. ...?
1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any other foundation than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:20
and you have been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone.

Are you going by scripture, or is this what you want to believe, because you like the Catholic?
What will save us is not what we like.
Remember, the religious leaders of Jesus' day only made their followers a subject of fiery Gehenna.
Jesus warned against the false prophets. Matthew 7:13-23

Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

Jesus is ALWAYS with his Holy Body.; To the very end of the world!
To say the Holy Church failed is to say "Jesus lies"! The words of Jesus.. I am with you always!

Jesus "BUILT on ROCK" not on sand! Many are trying to form-anew what was never lost! They think that somehow; Satan had overpowered Jesus and Satan TOOK the Holy Body of Jesus away from Jesus! AS IF...

nPeace as if Satan is stronger then God!

These Re-Formers want to Re-Form Jesus' Church, they believe Jesus is a fool!
Matthew 7:26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
THEY ARE WRONG.. Jesus is a wise man!
Matthew 7:24Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”


Jesus died for his Church! His Church is Holy without blemish the Holy Church Jesus established on ROCK is blameless!.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Yes. Jesus build on rock - solid rock, and the one upon whom that rock falls, would be what?
King James Bible
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

nPeace you have been brainwashed!
:laughing: How thankful I am to have had my brain washed of the lies we all were made to believe from apostate Christianity that infiltrated the world with false doctrines, after the death of the apostles.

It's so refreshing to be free from those lies. ;)

.The Catholic Church is the ONLY Church established by Jesus!
:laughing:

.The Catholic Church today is by far the largest charity in the world! To say different you are forced to reject facts and the scriptures as LIES from the mouth of God!
The largest charity? What does that have to do with God and Christ?
Robin Hood was probably the largest charity of all the criminals of his day.
You do know how he acquired his wealth, don't you?
(Revelation 18:15-17) 15 “The merchants who sold these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and will weep and mourn, 16saying: ‘Too bad, too bad, the great city, clothed with fine linen, purple, and scarlet and richly adorned with gold ornaments, precious stones, and pearls, 17because in one hour such great riches have been devastated!’. . .

All it takes is one hour. :)

.The Catholic Church started Orphanages, Schools and Hospitals! She encourages science, she started the University system! The Catholic Church was the welfare for the peoples not the governments! The people came to the Church for food and money not the government!
nPeace The Holy Catholic Church brought Jesus and salvation to the world.. There were NO bibles or very few bibles, they were expensive works of art ONLY..

nPeace only the very rich could own a bible!.... Even when the printing press was invented seventeen hundred years after Jesus MOST people could not read!
The Holy Catholic Church TAUGHT and PREACHED about Jesus and salvation to the world!
Jesus established only...One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church ON ROCK! Sure you can make accusations and insults but no proof that Jesus failed! You MUST reject the scriptures and History to reject the ONLY Church Jesus established!
Ignatius wrote: “When the bishop is present, there let the congregation gather, just as where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church” (8:2). A.D. 110

Did you see it? just as where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church” (8:2). A.D. 110
I can probably hear the call going out... Extra, Extra, Read all about it.
From the persecution of the early Christians in ancient Rome, through the terrors of the anti-heresy witchhunts of the notorious Grand Inquisitor, Torquemada, to papal collaboration with the Nazis during World War II, Dark History of the Catholic Church tells the stories of heretics and pogroms, Mother Teresa and martyred priests, papal purges and crooked clergy, false prophets and faithless pontiffs. Illustrated with 180 photographs, paintings, and illustrations, Dark History of the Catholic Church reveals the infamous underside of the world’s oldest Christian faith.

Do you really know the history of this entity, you are claiming Jesus has anything to do with.
Jesus is not Satan, and Jesus surely has never condoned evil, sadistic acts upon humankind.
Do you associate Jesus with such crimes?

inquistion.jpg


I mean, have you seen these pictures?
Don't they make people cry, "My God!"

Regarding Bibles, history tells us, it was not the efforts of the Catholic church, that helped millions, but rather, it was the efforts of sincere, honest hearted ones, that brought spiritual enlightenment to the world.
Perhaps you don't know the history of those who were opposed and murdered by your "holy church". Reading up on the history of honest men like John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, and others.
Do you know what your "holy popes" thought of such people who tried to make the Bible available to all men?

History paints a different picture to what you are trying to present here.
The Mafia looks good in their suits too, but look under their coats; check their fingernails; check the trunk of their cars; their closets; scan their bathroom floors...

You ought to check where Jesus is seeing.

Here are Jesus words - the one that matters.
(John 15:17-19) 17 “These things I command you, that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.

(John 17:16, 17) 16 They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. 17 Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth.

(John 13:34, 35) 34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are my disciples - if you have love among yourselves.”

(Matthew 5:44-46) 44 However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens, since he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good and makes it rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those loving you, what reward do you have? Are not also the tax collectors doing the same thing?

How do you love your enemy, when pointing a gun to his head, or planting a mine, and hoping he walks on it?

Clearly (above) there are many building up the Holy Catholic Body of Jesus! Jesus laid the foundation on ROCK! Jesus said "I will build My Church on rock"!

nPeace all Christians in some way participate in building up the church. In one case Jesus is building, in the other case Christian ministers and all Christians are building up the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church on a foundation of ROCK!
The Church Jesus is building will last forever it cannot fall it is built on a sure foundation PETER!
ROCK not sand! ROCK it is a solid foundation! 1 Peter 2:5 we’re all “living stones built into a spiritual house”. A living stone, is a metaphor, Jesus is a stone!

nPeace Jesus is the good shepherd in John 10:11, clearly, Jesus makes Peter the shepherd of his church! (Feed my sheep)
Jesus is the light of the world, John 9:5. But we’re told in Matthew 5:14, that we’re all “the light of the world”.

We’re building up the church, as we’re in Christ and being his hands and his feet here on earth to build up the church here on earth. Jesus is building his Church through us! The metaphor of being the foundation of Jesus’ church in no way takes away from Jesus as literally the one ultimate foundation.
Ephesians 2:19-20, St. Paul says that the church is “built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.

"Rock" and "cornerstone" are not synonymous, and also why would Jesus have changed Simon's name to "Peter", which means "rock" or "stone" in Aramaic, if it meant nothing?

Hello. metis I hope all is well...
I add "Jesus built on ROCK not on sand! Fools build on sand!
Matthew 7:26
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

These protesters MUST reject the scriptures otherwise they would be Catholic! They MUST reject Matthew 16 or there is NO need for them to "Form Anew" what they claim Jesus lost!
They are founded on the premise of "They must come to God' rescue and re-Form what Jesus lost!" AS IF...

metis as if "Satan had somehow over powered Jesus and Satan took Jesus' holy body from Jesus!"
They are forced to reject the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church Jesus established otherwise there is no need for them to Re-Form Jesus' church! They are NOT re-formers they are DE-Formers, they continue to divide and fragmentate into ever smaller groups.. All claiming to have the ONLY truth but not ever two of these thousands believe the same things!
Their authority is the bible ALONE yet not one of these thousands have any authority to say they have interpreted the scriptures correctly! Scriptures are very clear.. Anti-Christs will appear, all who reject the Holy Catholic body of Jesus are these Anti-Christs!

Great! So what is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets?
(Ephesians 2:19) So you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the holy ones and are members of the household of God,

Peter therefore is not special above the others, is he. They are all stones on which the household of God is being built up.
The foundation - the rock - Jesus Christ, is the central figure - the head of the corner - the cornerstone - the foundation that was laid.

1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any other foundation than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Therefore, there is one foundation. The body is one, and Jesus the head is one.
The apostles are one, in union with Christ.
Jesus Christ is the foundation that was laid. The congregation, is made up of the members of his body.

Think of a house. The foundation is laid, but there are other bases, aren't they?
These serve as foundations too. The groundsill; the floor...
The prophets and apostles all play a significant role in God's building, but there is only one foundation - one rock, and that is Jesus Christ, according to the scriptures.

Regarding your claims, your "holy church" has shown itself to be anything but holy, has it not, and the evidence speaks for itself, does it not?

Let's address these matters. Let's have a dialogue. At the moment, we seem not to be communicating with each other.

How about we change that.
What part of what I said here, do you disagree with?
Do you disagree that Jesus Christ is the foundation of the body - the congregation, or do you agree Jesus is the foundation?
Do you agree that Jesus is talking about one rock, that the congregation is built on?
You said earlier, it is one rock... one foundation. Are you saying Peter is that foundation?

Hello. metis I hope all is well...
I add "Jesus built on ROCK not on sand! Fools build on sand!
Matthew 7:26
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

These protesters MUST reject the scriptures otherwise they would be Catholic! They MUST reject Matthew 16 or there is NO need for them to "Form Anew" what they claim Jesus lost!
They are founded on the premise of "They must come to God' rescue and re-Form what Jesus lost!" AS IF...

metis as if "Satan had somehow over powered Jesus and Satan took Jesus' holy body from Jesus!"
They are forced to reject the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church Jesus established otherwise there is no need for them to Re-Form Jesus' church! They are NOT re-formers they are DE-Formers, they continue to divide and fragmentate into ever smaller groups.. All claiming to have the ONLY truth but not ever two of these thousands believe the same things!
Their authority is the bible ALONE yet not one of these thousands have any authority to say they have interpreted the scriptures correctly! Scriptures are very clear.. Anti-Christs will appear, all who reject the Holy Catholic body of Jesus are these Anti-Christs!
The world is in Satan's control.
He himself said it. Luke 4:6
Jesus agreed. John 12:31 ; John 14:30 ; John 16:11
Jesus' followers confirmed it. 2 Corinthians 4:3, 4 ; 1 John 5:19 ; Ephesians 2:1, 2

To help you get a picture...
Note, the cornerstone. The other stones are important in completing the house.

Ephesians 2:20
and you have been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone.

Great! So what is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets?
(Ephesians 2:19) So you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the holy ones and are members of the household of God,

Peter therefore is not special above the others, is he. They are all stones on which the household of God is being built up.
The foundation - the rock - Jesus Christ, is the central figure - the head of the corner - the cornerstone - the foundation that was laid.

1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any other foundation than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Therefore, there is one foundation. The body is one, and Jesus the head is one.
The apostles are one, in union with Christ.
Jesus Christ is the foundation that was laid. The congregation, is made up of the members of his body.

Scriptures says it all...
1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any other foundation than what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
QUESTION...Who laid the foundation? Answer is logical.. God laid the foundation! Only God can build his church! Question: What man started your church Martin Luther? King Henry? Taft? Russell? White? Joe Smith? Billy Graham? etc

Question Who gave Peter the answer to Jesus' question? Answer is: GOD THE FATHER GAVE PETER THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION JESUS ASKED!

The words of God...17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

nPeace Did you see it? I tell you that you are ROCK,

nPeace John 1 tells you Jesus will change Simons name to ROCK and here in Matthew 16 Jesus changes Simon son of Jonah' name to ROCK!
There is no way around it.. Massage and massage the words of God all you want twist change the meaning of God' word you still cannot make God say what you want him to have said!!
Jesus build his Church on PETER not on sand.. The building Jesus does is strong it will last forever His kingdom will never be destroyed,! The one Holy Catholic Apostolic Church Jesus built on ROCK will never be destroyed it is already over 2000 years old!

Daniel 2:44 In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.

The world is in Satan's control.
He himself said it. Luke 4:6
Jesus agreed. John 12:31 ; John 14:30 ; John 16:11
Jesus' followers confirmed it. 2 Corinthians 4:3, 4 ; 1 John 5:19 ; Ephesians 2:1, 2

Luke 10:18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

nPeace The world that is NOT Christian is in Satan control! Jesus built on ROCK the building might be shaken but it cannot fall! The Building; IS the Body of Jesus!
** Jesus loves his Holy Church!
** He died for his bride the Holy Catholic Church!
he loves his bride as his own body!
***His Holy Church is without stain She is blameless!

25 Husbands, love your wives,** just as Christ loved the church and **gave himself up for her
26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, *** without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.


nPeace Jesus feeds his Bride Living forever Manna!
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church


John 6:32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life.

Jesus feeds his Bride Living forever Manna!
.
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.
50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die.
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church

One sure thing is that apostate Christianity has taught its members how to preach at people.

Luther
King Henry
Joe Smith
Russel
White
Alexander Campbell
Knox
etc
etc
etc
All of these churches started by men claim to have the ONLY Truth NOT even two believe the same, all reject the ONLY Church Jesus established on ROCK! All claim Jesus failed to hang onto his holy Body! All are trying to Re-Store to God what Jesus could not hold onto! ALL of these man made churches (Yours included) must reject the scriptures to make this clime that Jesus failed!
The One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church is attacked by "Anti-Christs" as the scriptures prophesy tells us!
All reject Jesus' promises; He is ALWAYS WITH his Holy Body to the very end of time & He sent the Holy Spirit to his Church to guide her into all truth FOREVER!

Another sure thing is that some people are highly steeped in religious bigotry.
metis Good point.. These Anti-Catholics are taught every Sunday "We are NOT Catholic we are not sinners like them" they hear preaching every Sunday on how awful the Catholic Church is! They are taught "Jesus failed" and Jesus could NOT hold onto his bride that Satan had somehow over powered Jesus and Satan TOOK Jesus' Church from Jesus! They are taught the Catholic Church is now God' whore. That she is the Whore of barbaloin!
Scriptures are very clear.. Jesus' Church is NOT built on sand! He remains ALWAYS with her!
Scriptures are clear.. Anti-Christs will come alone and attack Jesus' holy Body, his Church!

Acts 9:4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

Yes, and I grew up in a church that did just that, which is one reason why I left it when in my mid-20's.

John 2:18
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

metis All these teachers against Jesus are the children of Satan, they do his work!
2 Thessalonians 2:9
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

metis I feel sorry for all these deceived people taught to reject Jesus' Holy Body! Can't blame them; Satan has corrupted those who started the Protest and the "De-Formation"! Thousands and thousands of man made churches all claim to have the ONLY truth but not even two believe the same things! All claim the Scriptures are their rule of faith forgetting there wasn't a bible for the first 400 years! Not understanding the Bible is a book of the Catholic Church made by her with the guidance of God the Holy Spirit!

Satan' family started to grow 2000 years ago...
1 Timothy 5:15 Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan.

Matthew 25:41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
