ArchivedWho was the Rock?tuppence Wrote: . I agree totally. tuppence Wrote: I agree, but that very same bible says Peter is the rock too. Why is God called 'Rock'? Because God is 'refuge', 'protection', and 'fortress'. The Jews take the image of rock meaning something solid, something concrete, something weighty and that becomes a term for God. Because it signifies God's protection. His integrity that He is always a solid refuge and fortress for those who call upon Him. tuppence Wrote: If I answer this, the whole thread is closed. Why? Because you opened it claiming only God was called "rock" in the bible. But I will answer you. There is only one other person besides Peter in the bible who is called rock. That person is Abraham. Isaiah 51:1 "Listen to me, you who pursue justice, who seek the LORD; Look to the rock from which you were hewn, to the quarry from which you were digged;" Abraham is called rock. :roll: Aieno Wrote: I spoke of the Primacy of Peter in another thread, Check it out. Throughout the bible you can clearly see Peters authority and leadership. Even if he didnt have either one, Its enough to say Christ choose him. tuppence Wrote: I have shown you. Peace |
