Muffled
Jesus in me
If there is "hades" and "Gehenna" (both often translated "hell") and "hades" is the common grave, just out of curiosity, what do you think "gehenna" is?
Cremation?

If there is "hades" and "Gehenna" (both often translated "hell") and "hades" is the common grave, just out of curiosity, what do you think "gehenna" is?
Lol....in a way yes. Gehenna was symbolised by garbage dump outside of Jerusalem where the bodies of criminals, who were not considered worthy of a decent burial, were cast to dispose of their bodies. It inferred that because they had no memorial tomb, inscribed with their name and family lineage, that God would not remember them in the resurrection.Cremation?
Peter is not the rock; His understanding that the Son of Man is the Anointed/Christ and Son of The Living God is the rock.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Bible says God breathed life into Adam and Adam BECAME a living SOUL. The same word translated "soul" is a;so translated "Beast" or "creature" or "body". The soul is just the living body.The Bible does NOT teach thT WE HAVE A SOUL THAT DEPARTS FROM THE BODY AT DEATH. mOST PEOPLE BELIEVE WE HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL BUT THE WORDS IMMORTAL SOUL ARE NOT IN THE bIBLE. tHE bIBLE SAYS THE SOUL THAT SINS WILL DIE. iF SOMETHING CAN DIE THEN IT IS NOT IMMORTAL.
Yes and no. He is not THE rock, but he is A rock.
1 Peter 2:4-5 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is i]">[i]choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 you also, as living stones, j]">[j]are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
What if both are true?Peter is not the rock; His understanding that the Son of Man is the Anointed/Christ and Son of The Living God is the rock.

3. Reason Correct Answer Given:

4. Result of Correct Answer given
Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
5. Speculation on What is the rock or understanding of Peter:
Mar 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
-------------------
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
6. Why is the understanding of Peter; "Christ being the Son of the Living God" the rock ?
Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Joh 19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
Joh 19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
Joh 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
7. Can the gates of hell prevail against the rock or Peter's understanding?
1Jn 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Simon was called the Stumbling Stone (peter), as he followed the ways of man more than the ways of God (Matthew 16:23), and taught people idolatry, and a covenant with death from the start of his ministry.Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
What if both are true?
First of all, who ever is part of the body is a "lively stone" built up as part of the temple of God.
1 Peter 2:5
And the apostles are the foundation, and Jesus the chief Cornerstone.
Ephesians 2:20
Revelation 21:14
I've believed for awhile that Psalm 132:1-5 spiritually spoke of how Jesus He found the 12 disciples( minus Judas) before He slept that is before He died. So, they would be the foundation.
Psalm 132:1-5
132 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2 How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5 Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

The "rock" (foundation stone)/petra, was not Peter/petros (small stone), but "my Father who is in heaven" revealed this to you. The "rock" is the Spirit of Revelation, the Word, which is manifested in the law and the prophets. Any other foundation, such as Peter, will be swept away (Matthew 7) when the wind and rain come.
i believe Paul says he is a pillar. I think we can think of him as at least one of the foundation stones to join with the cornerstone, Jesus.
I believe it says the gates of hell can't stand against the church so it isn't the stone that will wash away but the sand of false concepts.
