God put Abraham in charge of the people and later God put Simon Peter in charge of His Church(Catholic btw). God referred to them both as "Rock". Peter is the first head Bishop(Pope) of the Catholic Church. Any arguement? Old Testament- Abraham The Rock Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah 51:1-2 Look to the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. New Testament/New Covenent Jesus said, "Thou Are kepha(Rock=Peter)Mt. 16:18 ?Whom do men say that the the Son of man is?? Simon Peter replied, ?Thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God.? Then Christ said to him in the singular, ?Thou art rock, and upon this rock Please don't bring the boring old argument about it was a "little rock" femine. Jesus spoke Aramaic, the common language of Palestine during that time. The word for kepha in Aramaic is "rock" and there is not a femine/masculine way of saying kepha at that time. Rock translates to "Peter"
