For Jews and non-Jews (gentiles):
We all need to be saved from having to spend our eternity in God's lake of fire, because that's a fate we ALL deserve.
So be SAVED and believe that God LOVES us so MUCH that He manifested Himself on earth as the Lord JESUS Christ who shed His sinless blood for the forgiveness of our sins, who was buried and rose from the dead, three days later, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
If you believe this you're not only saved but sealed with the Holy Spirit and rapture-ready.
Read your Bible every day and talk to our creator about everything and make Him your best Friend and share this GOOD NEWS = GOSPEL with others.
The Church of Separation (St. Peter's Church Jaffa)
ReplyDeletePeter from Petros means 'little rock' and Petra means (big) ROCK.
DeleteNow read the following as such:
Matthew 16:15-18
1599 Geneva Bible
15 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 Then Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art that Christ, the son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered, and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, the son of Jonah: 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 overcome it.
*Petros = little rock
**Petra = big ROCK = this CONFESSION made by Peter: "Thou art that Christ, the son of the living God"
So
Matthew 16:18 > Christ spoke in the Syrian tongue, and therefore used not this descanting betwixt Petros, which signifieth Peter, and Petra, which signifieth a rock, but in both places used this word Cephas: but his mind was that wrote in Greek, by the divers termination to make a difference between Peter, who is a piece of the building, and Christ the Petra, that is, the rock and foundation: or else he gave his name Peter, because of the confession of his faith, which is the Church’s as well as his, as the old fathers witness: For so saith Theophylact, That confession which thou hast made, shall be the foundation of the believers.
Peter was not the foundation of the Catholic church!
Peter's confession of faith "Thou art that Christ, the son of the living God" is the ROCK, because it's all about JESUS!
