But whom say ye that I am?
And RomeSweetHome answered, "Thou art the Webmaster, the owner of the jesus-christ-forums.com site."
And Webmaster answered and said unto RomeSweetHome, "Blessed art thou, RomeSweetHome: for radio nor television hath not revealed it unto thee, but your monitor connected to cyberspace. And I say also unto thee, That thou art RomeSweetHome, and upon this rock[4073] I will build my websites; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Wasn't there a song with words to the effect "Your so vain, I bet you think this song/verse is about you, don't you"
Why in the world would you RomeSweetHome be so arrogant to think that I am building this website off of you personally even if I gave you a moderators job over a small city?
This website is built off of other people coming here from their monitors connected to cyberspace.
My rock IS NOT based upon who you think I am but how you got here.
My rock grows by more people following the google trail to here.
Jesus's ROCK is based upon who He is and then grows by more people acknowledging it like Peter did!!
Matthew 16
15. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Here's Paul explaining the Rock.
1 Corinthians 10:4
|2532| and
|3956| all
|3588| the
|0846| same
|4188| drink
|4152| spiritual
|4095| drank.
|4095| they drank
|1063| For
|1537| of
|4152| a spiritual
|0190| following
|4073| rock,
|3588| the
|1161| and
|4073| Rock
|2258| was
|5547| Christ.
Here's Peter himself explaining the Rock
1 Peter 2:8
8.
|2532| and,
|3037| a Stone-
|4348| of-stumbling,
|2532| and
|4073| a Rock-
|4625| of-offense
|4862| to those
|4350| stumbling
|3588| at the
|3056| word
|0544| disobeying,
|1519| to
|3739| which
|2532| indeed
|5087| they were appointed.
And worse still here is Paul writing the church in Rome explaining the Rock
33.
|2531| even as
|1125| it was written.
|2400| Look,
|5087| I place
|1722| in
|4622| Zion
|3037| a Stone-
|4348| of-stumbling
|2532| and
|4073| a Rock-
|4625| of-Offense,
|2532| and
|3956| everyone
|4100| believing
|1909| on
|0846| him
|3756| not
|2617| will be put to shame.
If Peter thought he was the Rock he would have surely said so.
