"SASQUATCH IS WATCHING"
Sorry bout that,
1. Maybe God is a rock, a real rock; if so is Peter a *Pillar*?
2. And Jesus being God, wasn't far from explaining it to the apostles.
3. When he said, "Upon this rock I shall build my church."
4. And when in scriptures it says the "Bride of Christ" is a huge building made out of stone, which will some day be brought down from Heaven to be set in Israel, perhaps that too is a sign, or actual fact, that God, actually is a solid substance, beyond our understanding, totally.
5. Just a thought, I'm saying this could be reality, and it could be debated.
6. This would be a good debate topic, so I snatched it from another thread of a *CWN CLASSIC*.
7. I know this is a heavy topic, not meant for light weights.
8. Here's what I think could of happened, lets say after Peter said, what he said, Jesus standing there, touches himself on the chest while saying "Upon This Rock" etc, etc,...Gates of Hell,...etc, etc.....
9. Wouldn't that make a huge difference to what was being said?
10. There are plenty of references to solid rock materials Biblicly.
11. The two stone tablets that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai, then the two replacements.
12. Jesus told one that it would be better for some that a stone be wrapped around ones neck, and he cast into the sea.
13. A stone was rolled infront of his grave.
14. "He who is without sin, cast the first stone."
15. They gathered stones to throw at him, and he passed right through them.
16. Before he was taken in the Mount of Olives, he was known to have prayed on or near a stone.
17. Whoever falls on this stone shall be forgiven, those who refuse, they shall be grount into powder.
18. Rock of Ages.
19. And untold others, all refernce to a rock and could be meaningful.
20. This came to mind as well.
21. When the Israelites were wondering in the dessert, they came upon the stone, where Moses struck it, and water gushed out.
22. Also God was mad with Moses because God told him to talk to the stone not strike it, Moses stroke the stone, which displeased God.
23. Moses never made it into the *Promise Land*.
24. Later in scripture, it was said, that Jesus was this stone that gushed water in the dessert when the Jews were thirsty.
25. Also when he was dieing on the cross, he was stabbed with a spear, and blood and water came out at the same location, but two seperate streams.
26. This could have meaning too in this debate.
27. This does get interesting,......I will bring some quotes, because I can, and it makes it more interesting.

1 Peter 2:8 KJV • Read this chapter
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
36. Also I did come across another scripture, one of my all time favorites.
37. A prophet challenges the local seers to find out for sure, if their gods were the real God, or not.
38. The prophet says that a ox should be doused with water, and that their god should burn it up with fire.
39. They fail miserablly, while the prophet mocks them, "Maybe your god is asleep" he says?
40. Anyway he tells them to scream louder and do whatever they do more and louder so he will wake up.
41. Oh that had to be funny.
42. Anyway, they failed, and he took over.
43. So he put the ox inside a circle of stones, and put barrels of water on the ox.
44. Then he called upon The God, who brought flame of fire from the rocks, that not only consumed the ox, but drank up the water as if licking it up like a tounge lapping up water from the palm of a hand.
45. Now that had to be frightening!
46. Another very interesting *Biblical Rock Scripture*.
47. I known this topic isn't all that easy to digest, and is very heavy for some peoples minds to deal with, and isn't for those of little faith, at all.
48. So I won't take offense from the lack of other contributers.
49. So Jesus is building a stone building, him being the actual foundation then?
50. All those who are his will be positioned and fitted into this building?
51. Literally,....???
52. If eternity is a long time, if we are converted into stones, well at least we won't have issues with old age, and the things that follow old age?
53. Just a thought?
54. Could it be that we are indeed the Church?
55. When Jesus returns those whom did well and were apart of the Church, will at the end actually be the *Church*?
56. Where we would be fittly framed all together upon the real foundaton Jesus Christ the Lord.
57. Where when Jesus would have Mass we would be the actual location of the Mass?
58. Where those who were forgiven were then converted into stone, but this stone has *Life Everlasting*.
59. Those of you not within the Church will think I've flipped out or on dope, some of those in side the Church may too.
60. This is one heavy topic, not meant for a novice to wrap thier heads around.
61. Now lets *ALL* get our heads together and do each other a *solid* on this topic.
