In Greek:
Peter = Petros (πέτρος) → a movable stone, small rock
Rock = Petra (πέτρα) → a massive immovable foundation
Jesus does not say: "You are Petra, and upon this Petra…" He says: “You are Petros, and upon this Petra I will build my church."
They are not the same word. The "rock" is not Peter, but something else. Petra in Scripture always refers to God/Christ, never a human.
"The Lord is my rock (petra)" (Psalm 18:2)
"That Rock (petra) was Christ." (1 Corinthians 10:4)
Christ is the Petra, the foundation.
Peter is only a petros, a stone.
Jesus had already identified the "rock." The context explains it: Peter’s confession: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." (v.16)
THAT is the "rock" Jesus refers to, not Peter himself.
Protestants didn’t invent this: Nearly every early Church Father understood the rock as Christ or Peter’s confession.
Another round of boosting Lutheran X 😁
Confessional Lutherans: let's follow each other!
Follow and comment on the thread and I'll follow back! (Follow each other too ❤️)
Luke 18:15–16
[15] Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. [16] But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
Infant baptism is unbiblical. Believers Baptism is biblical. "Baptizing" an infant is just sprinkling water on them, they have no earthly idea what it means, its not a valid baptism whatsoever.
Watching these Roman Catholic accounts post "based tradcath aesthetics to convert the Protestants" and it's just the ugliest, gaudiest display of gross ecclesiastical indulgence you've ever seen
I honestly, genuinely feel bad for actual American Catholics enduring this slopfest
