ArchivedWho was the Rock?Aieno Wrote: I was going to re read the post so that I could get your exact question, before going to church on Sunday. I told you in a previous post I was sick (still am) and I couldnt make it to church on Sunday. I did have the intention to ask my priest, I need not lie about such things. John 1:42--And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter). "Cephas" (Aramaic) and "Peter" (Greek) mean "Rock" Matthew 16:18a--"And I tell you that you are Peter [Rock], and on this rock I will build My Church…" So Jesus doesnt know the furture? is that what you are implying? There is a law in Bible study called 'The Law of First Mention'. It means, the first time something is mentioned in the Bible, the same meaning holds true for that subject in all subsequent verses in which it is mentioned. This law helps to hold the harmony and integrity of scripture. For example: God is eternal and unchanging, therefore what he said in Genesis has the same meaning for all chapters. It doesnt matter if Peter was named rock in Genesis or John 1:42, Jesus called Peter the rock and on that rock He will build His church. This is Just off the top of my head, I still want to ask my priest. |
