Never did think that verse referred to Peter being the" rock" and you aptly show that with the proper translation....
News to me, but just another confirmation....thanks for the input.S&F
To get the Old City of Jerusalem ready for a “special regime” to come, The “peace makers” have formed an International work shop called “Jerusalem Old City Initiative”. This initiative is sponsored by the mainly protestant Christian republic of Canada. Their head office is at The University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada.
How can I verify that Elijah controls the water?
Now what? Repent and bear fruit. That's it. Jesus said, "you must be born again." This reference is to baptism.

Star for you.
Well, the "rock" or foundation if you will, that Christ was going to build HIS church upon was Peter's declaration, not Peter himself.
"Thou are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." <--- (the foundation of Christ's church) there was no church in Rome before Peter was martyred. Paul was writing to the churches (house) in Rome when he wrote Romans.

No, regeneration is what Jesus meant by "ye must be born again". It comes from two Greek words in the NT meaning "new birth". The Holy Spirit regenerates us. The only time the apostles baptized anyone in the Bible it was people who were believers already. Baptism doesn't save you, baptism is what a saved person does.
When I first believed and accepted Christ I wanted to be baptized, and I had to wait almost 6 months for they to do the next baptism night. Was I not a believer until I got wet even though I believed and trusted in Him?

The original Hebrew and the Greek use Petra for Peter and Petra for Rock. Either of us could be correct, although I suspect the wording there is significant. Petros is the small moveable rock. Petra is the chief cornerstone that cannot be moved. This is the rock the builder's refused. I think it is clear that the Roman Catholic leadership has rejected Christ in favor of themselves.

Alright gentlemen......, I have enjoyed your posts thus far, as well as your account name. But you and others are starting to flirt with a dangerous game when you start saying buzz words like "the original Greek...". There is no such thing on this earth right now. Matter of fact, no one on this forum would be able to tell the difference from the original Greek and Hebrew, from a modern copy of Nestles, Strong's, Crudens, or Aland's.
Stick with the KJV English and you will NEVER go wrong.
You have God Himself's word on that. Play with new versions or even old versions, and what light God has giving you (which he clearly has) will slowly dim and eventually vanish over time, (ask Billy Graham). Mark these words friend, stay out of Satan's new bibles......
Gen 3:1
"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made..... and he said unto the woman Yea, hath God said?
I love the KJB, but there are places I can show you in it that is in error compared to today's language.
"Replenish" is one example. from Genesis 1:28. Entire doctrines have been made because the KJB uses the term "replenish", not realizing in 1611 "replenish" meant 'to fill", or "fill up". It didn't mean "fill up again" like it would mean today with the "re" in front of it.
) You also miss all the "word-plays" the Holy Spirit uses in Greek and Hebrew, perfect example is with this passage above. Petra and Petros are two different things, and when you look at what Jesus was saying in the Greek you get a whole new understanding.
I can show numerous places where the Holy Spirit deals in puns and awesome word play.
You miss all that in the English.
The meaning of "Jacob" in the OT is an example of a missed word play in the English compared to the Hebrew.
There are errors in the KJB, the only inerrant Word of God is in whatever autographs there are. But what is good, is the errors are fully known.
