:::::::Expert linguists have pointed out that according to the structure of the Greek language the Greek vocabulary of Matthew 16:18 points to Peter, not to Christ as the rock referred to in that passage.<ref>https://biblehub.com/commentaries/meyer/matthew/16.htm '''Meyer's New Testament Commentary on Matthew 16'''</ref> Besides, as I pointed out elsewhere Christ the living stone and rock of our salvation is in Peter the rock and in all of the twelve foundations of the new Jerusalem and in all the living stones built into the temple of the Lord, the household of God, the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth, with himself and them as the foundation on which he built his church. So there is no contradiction in the truth that Christ in Peter built the church on himself in Peter the rock, as he explicitly stated. We and he are one Body of Christ. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 12:57, 25 August 2020 (EDT)

Therefore, Christ has remained with the church he built on a rock, indwelling the leaders who speak the word of God and watch over our souls in every century to this day and to the end, led into all the truth by the Spirit of truth with us forever. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 13:15, 25 August 2020 (EDT)
