When Christ said to Peter, "And I tell you that you are Peter, and upon
this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not
prevail." (Mt.16: 8)
We must take into account that the Greek word used is, "Petros" (Peter)
means the same as "small stone" or "block" while the word "rock" is the
Greek "petra" and this word used in "this rock" . In other words, Jesus
never said he would build his church in a "small stone" in a person - that
would have been a foundation too weak - but the build "this rock" (eg 1
Cor 3:11 Nobodycan lay any foundation other than
the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. )
Peter was a Messianic Jew, one of them Catholics who have persecuted
and murdered during the history and legend died as a martyr in the
persecution of Emperor Nero, crucified head down.
