    Matthew 16:13 -19

    Polls can probably be wrong and polls do not always speak for me.

    Lets go all the way down to v19 - what or who is this Rock? Jesus? Perhaps but the construction is awkward.
    How about Peter's confession? Perhaps too allegorical.
    Are we too fearful of Catholicism to consider that it is really means Peter?

    that and those vs. this and these

    John 1:42 Who renamed Simon the Son of Jonas Cephas? Jesus did. Abram to Abraham Jacob to Israel when God renames someone there is always some reason

    petros is feminine
    petra is masculine

    Do you think Jesus could have made a mistake naming Cephas "Petra" when he would, at some time, speak v18?

    Eph2:19-20 we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets

    Matt 16: 19 the gates of Hades will not overpower the church; also the church is under attack but we (the Church) is on the victors side 1
