I responded to
bible accuracy, not prophecy. Since accuracy is the subject.
Of course, subjects may be interchanged. You might try paying terribly close attention to that possibility.

I'm easy
since I don't argue the existence of God nor the accuracy of the bible and only draw attention to what it says in it and the existence of God cannot be proved and will not be proved.
Therefore, please be happy with your thinking. It pleases me when people are happy within their own imaginings.

I doubt very much
I will check with you the next time I consider a contribution to this forum to make sure it meets your criteria. I move as the Spirit moves me. That's just the way it is.
Don't bother to reply. Thank you.

Peter
is not the Rock of Ages, Christ is. And for Christ to entrust something as important as his church to someone as unfinished as Peter was, would be taking great risks, for much depends on the the foundation on which rests that church. He is the Rock and Cornerstone, Almighty Adonai, King of Kings and El Shaddai.
Don't come back at me and quote Matthew 16:18, for the following reason.
"In secular Greek ptra denotes a large 'rock,' but also a 'cliff'; or 'rocky mountain chain.' Figuratively it suggests firmness, immovability, and hardness. ptros is more often used for smaller rocks, stones, or pebbles."
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, by Geoffrey W. Bromily. 1985 by William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
Peter was a rolling stone.
And guess whose name is 'Petros'.
Rome says that the reason Peter is called petros is because petros is the masculine form of the feminine noun petra (meaning 'rock'), and it was fitting that Peter's name should be masculine. However, I have never seen them offer an explanation for why the feminine petra is always used in the Scriptures to refer to Christ, but never the masculine petros, which is only used to refer to Peter. I believe it is because, by definition, petra more accurately typifies Christ, while petros more accurately typifies Peter. It is upon the petra that Christ is building his Church.

Re: Peter
You claim that Peter was the rock upon which the church was built. It needed to be addressed. And since I saw it, I addressed it.
