Did Jesus build His church on Peter? Or does Matthew 16:18 allow for another interpretation?In Part 2 of our series, Who Is the Rock?, Robert Morris continues examining one of Christianity's most debated passages. For centuries, Catholics and Protestants have disagreed over Jesus' statement, "On this rock I will build my church." But what does the biblical text actually tell us?Before examining the identity of the rock, we confront an important question: What happens when Scripture isn't as clear as we think it is?In this episode, we explore:Biblical ambiguity: Why difficult passages can lead sincere Christians to different interpretations.The Greek text of Matthew 16:18: What the words Petros, petra, and the connective kai contribute to the discussion.Catholic and Protestant disagreements: Why examining the grammar matters before drawing conclusions.2 Timothy 2:15: Does "study to show yourself approved" mean what many Christians have been taught?Wrong doctrine vs. false doctrine: Is being mistaken about Scripture the same as deliberately misusing it?Testing biblical teaching: Why Scripture encourages believers to examine, question, and evaluate what they're taught.We'll also examine passages including John 11:49–52, Galatians 4, and 2 Corinthians 12 to demonstrate why biblical interpretation sometimes requires more careful thought than we realize.Can we defend our interpretations with biblical evidence, or are we simply repeating what we've always been taught?This episode challenges us to approach Scripture with intellectual honesty, humility, and a willingness to reconsider our conclusions.Join Robert Morris and the Context Crew as we continue filtering our lives through the Bible.KEEPING IT IN CONTEXTFiltering Your Life Through the Bible.🌐 https://keepingitincontext.comNew episodes every Sunday.Listen, think critically, and join the conversation!
