Jesus is the cornerstone or rock that the church is built on.Obviously if the Catholic church is built on Peter then it is not God's true church.

Reasons why I could personally never chose to be Catholic:
Baptist prospective
1st of all, comparing spiritual things with spiritual, I feel that as old as the Roman Catholic Church is; it still has not worked out it's kinks.
- 1 Corinthians 2:13 (KJV Bible)
I feel like if I'm going to partake congregationally to worship, it is a absolute must that i am 100% comfortable with the Church and its Doctrines, all elements combined.
- Galatians 1:6-7 (of Galatians 1:1-12) (KJV Bible)
It is well known most Baptist have issues with Catholicism because of the Catholic claim of: transubstantiation. Within the ritual of a catholic mass, the pope holds a piece of bread, turns his back, and while his back is turned. Proclaims that it "literally" turns into the physical flesh of Christ.
3rdly, Christ is the head of the Church, There is absolutely no need for a Pope. It is opposite of scriptural and from what Iv heard, Pagan derived.
- 1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV Bible)
God Bless you,
I have large hopes that you find a profitable King James Version Only proud and preaching Church near you & find the Bible way to Heaven.
Ha! You say "Pagan derived" as if all of Christianity isn't Pagan derived.3rdly, Christ is the head of the Church, There is absolutely no need for a Pope. It is opposite of scriptural and from what Iv heard, Pagan derived.

Why "King James Version Only?"God Bless you,
I have large hopes that you find a profitable King James Version Only proud and preaching Church near you & find the Bible way to Heaven.
You really might want to get better familiar with the Bible.Jesus said "you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church". First of all Jesus did not say "on you I will build my church". Second, use your imagination and think that Jesus may have pointed at Pter when He said "you are Peter" and then pointed at Himself and said "on THIS rock I will build my church." Third, nowhere also is Peter called a rock but Jesus is called the rock many times. The old song "Rock of Ages" is about Jesus. And another song says "on Christ, the solid rock I stand". There is no song about Peter the rock
Omg get over yourself.
I know. I used to be oneJust so you know (if you don't already) KJV onlyism is a cult within Christianity that makes an idol out of a particular English translation. There is a fellow within the denomination I grew up in that fell in to that and he is stark raving mad.
Catholic church says that Peter is the "rock" that the church is built on but the Bible says that Christ is the "rock". Why would God build His church on a human person instead of His son Jesus?
One line says the church is the body of Christ. Another line says the church is the bride of Christ. So Christ's bride is His own body? Do you see how this is just a lot of mumbo jumbo to hide the facts? There is nothing in the Bible that says Peter is the rock on which the church is built. Yes Peter's name may mean stone or rock but Christ is often referred to as the rock. The Catholic church may be built on Peter but God's church is not built on any human but on the Son of God, Jesus. That is reason enough to reject the Catholic church.
It's pretty clear to me that Jesus was specifically referring to Simon son of Jonah as the Rock, in this particular verse. The person to whom he was giving authority.15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him,“Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealedthis to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Did you have a church in mind that has a better foundation?Jesus is the cornerstone or rock that the church is built on.Obviously if the Catholic church is built on Peter then it is not God's true church.
