PHWhere did God Build His Church?
MATTHEW 16:18 (KJV)
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter (Petros), and upon this rock (petra) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Peter(Petros) -
Pétros (a masculine noun) – properly, a stone (pebble), such as a small rock found along a pathway. 4074 /Pétros ("small stone") then stands in contrast to 4073 /pétra ("cliff, boulder," Abbott-Smith).
Rock(Petra) - A rock
4073 pétra (a feminine noun) – "a mass of connected rock," which is distinct from 4074 (Pétros) which is "a detached stone or boulder" (A-S). 4073 (pétra) is a "solid or native rock, rising up through the earth" (Souter) – a huge mass of rock (a boulder), such as a projecting cliff.
4073 (petra) is "a projecting rock, cliff (feminine noun) . . . 4074 (petros, the masculine form) however is a stone . . . such as a man might throw" (S. Zodhiates, Dict).
Who is The Rock Where did God Build upon it?
I CORINTHIANS 10:4 (KJV)
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock (Petra) was Christ.
Another symbolizes Christ according to the bible is Chief Cornerstone where the Household of God was founded with the small stones which are the apostles and phrophets. Chief Cornerstone In Greek is Akrogōniaiou which means
chief corner, capstone
The Rock mentioned in Matthew 16:18 is Christ where the Church was built.
Peter or the apostles are small stones of the foundation
The speaker in Matthew 16:18 was Christ. So who built the Church?
Christ said, in JOHN 12:50 (KJV)
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
The Father who said what Christ spoke. Therefore, The God The Father who Built the Church.
In fact, the bible said in HEBREWS 3:4 (KJV)
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
What House did God Build?
I TIMOTHY 3:15 (KJV)
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
