1/5b, Christ is Rock, Never Peter (flash)

Best to watch this video series fullscreen in PopeMyth.htm . Other relevant context is provided in that webpage. Downloads are a tad snazzier, too. Here's a list of per-Episode links:

This is a simple Word search on "Petra", proving that Matthew 16:18 means CHRIST is the "Rock" in Bible, and NEVER Peter. So obvious, that the Roman Catholic Church bastardized the Vulgate translation. Not good to say such a thing, absent proof. In this series, you'll see it. Companion "Petros Lie" series is also a must-see, as Peter's name comes from "petros", a CHIP, which is a very different word versus Greek PETRA, meaning BEDROCK, MOTHER ROCK -- i.e., the rock of the Temple Mount, which used to be the Holy of Holies location of the Ark.

I'm not against the Catholic Church, but when any denomination maligns Christ by egregious misuse of Bible, that should be admitted. So here, a simple pan-Bible search in Bible Works on Greek Petra (used in Matt16:18) proves the Catholic claim of Pope (Peter as head of the Church) a blatant lie.

So the bilious "Church Fathers" were lying. You can tell how, if you know something about Greek and Latin. Basically, instead of translating the Greek into Latin (Vulgate) they instead TRANSLITERATED the Greek petra, pan-Bible -- Latin had other words for cliff, stone: none of which (except rarely, lapis) are used in the Vulgate.

So instead of using an existing Latin word, they instead invented a NEW Latin word bastardized from two very different Greek words. So to make a single LATIN word with both gender endings, AS IF IT WERE THE SAME WORD. Thus one substitutes Christ with Peter, lol! After a hundred years or so, the Latin imposter word will be in common use, and how nice -- everyone will forget its origin, caring not at all to check what the REAL Bible says.

In transliteration, the distinction between the two nouns is lost. Clever way to lie, if you don't know Greek. Obvious lie, if you do know. PopeMyth.htm provides the full story.

Ergo the clever transliteration, blots out the fact that Petra (Christ, mistranslated "Rock") and petros (Peter, means "chip" or "pebble") are two very different Greek words. The latter is a diminuitive, in masculine gender; versus Petra, which is macro-sized, feminine gender (bedrock, HUGE, like a cliff, 'mother' rock).

In transliteration, therefore, the distinction between the two nouns is lost. Clever way to lie, if you don't know Greek. Obvious lie, if you do know.

Christ is thus maligned, His Head cut off: Matt16:18 is the very reason why there has to be a pre-Trib Rapture. Christ had to intervene and invoke His Kata-Melchizedek priesthood to create a new entity He names "Church" (play on synagogue, Greek equivalent) -- to save time itself. Else time would have stopped, since the Jews rejected Him. That's why Rapture: all time would have ended, so our ending can't now be predicted, Hebrews 11:39-40. More about this is in the "How God Orchestrates Time" video: its video description provides links to webpages with Bible backup.

Of course, people won't recognize Matthew 16:18's real meaning if they don't study it. Which they couldn't even do for centuries, as the RCC kidnapped Scripture.

So you're faced with an uncomfortable conclusion: either Roman Catholic Church, starting with the so-called 'Church Fathers', continually lies about Matt16:18's meaning; or it continually flunks first-year Greek rules on noun gender: for again, Peter's name is a diminuitive, masculine gender; but the "Rock" referred to in the verse, is feminine gender; so "Rock" cannot refer to Peter, but only to Christ, as the search will amply demonstrate.
