People tend to look way too much at how Muslims act as well.
Was Peter the rock that the church was built or Paul ? I think Paul became the foundation after Jesus ascended.
If you look at the context Jesus was asking the disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter answered that He was the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus' persona is the subject here. Not Peter. Peter answered correctly and to paraphrase Jesus' response, "yes Peter, and upon this Rock I build my Church."
The Rock no doubt is Christ. It is His Church built upon His work.
