so why did Jesus change simon's name to peter which means rock?
So you believe Jesus changed or turned His redeeming power over to Peter ?
Peter was NO more or less than any of the Apostle.
Couldn't help but notice YOU ignored the scriptures I posted that PROVE Jesus is the rock.
1Co 10:4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.
Mar 12:10
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Can YOU find any place in scripture where Peter ever corrected another Apostle ? Hint it never happened.
BUT:
Paul corrected Peter:
Gal 2:14
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
