Petros/Petra

As I thought about it, that’s the conclusion I came to. Thanks for the clarification. I guess it’s kind of like when the Bible compares God to a chicken I believe in one part. I think I heard of that. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I don’t remember the bit about God and the chicken, but it looks like you have the right idea.

I don’t remember the bit about God and the chicken, but it looks like you have the right idea.

When Jesus talks of wanting to hold Jerusalem under His wings, like a mother hen.

Mathew 23:27 - “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you were unwilling!”

Admittedly, if someone doesn’t consider the Old Testament references to this (and how Jesus is calling Himself “God” in this statement), they could resort to thinking Jesus is comparing Himself to a chicken.
