Three possibilities of who or what the “rock” is:
• a. The rock is Christ Himself
• Psalm 118:22
• Matthew 21:42
• Mark 12:10
• Luke 20:17
• Acts 4:11
• 1 Peter 2:6f
• 1 Corinthians3:11
• b. The rock is Peter
If Peter is the foundation on which papal supremacy and succession is built, then:
• 1) Rome would have to prove Peter to be the only one on whom the church was built
• 2) Rome would have to prove Peter to be God’s ruler on earth over all Christians
• 3) Rome would have to prove Peter transferring his authority to someone else in apostolic succession
• 4) Rome would have to prove Peter to be the first pope at Rome
• 5) Rome would have to prove Peter and the church at Rome to be supreme over all other churches
• Ephesians 2:20
• Revelation 21:14
• c. The Rock is Peter’s confession
