Kathleen Dimick:
Jesus is the Christ, Christ is the Rock, Jesus is the Word, the Word 
is Truth, the words are the doctrine, Jesus is the truth ergo, these 
are all synonymous.  There is really no need to split hairs, the 
doctrine that Jesus is the Christ is the rock that the Apostles, the 
Prophets and Jesus Christ Himself preached. They preached that Jesus 
is the Christ.

I write:
We are either built upon Jesus Christ or upon a doctrine, that is not 
splitting hairs, that is very different, if you are built upon the 
Author of the doctrine or the doctrine of the Author. I am built upon 
the Solid Rock, Petra, Jesus Christ.  Peter was a petros, a few 
verses on in the chapter Jesus looks at Peter and says Get thee 
behind me Satan.  Certainly shaky ground to be built upon , the 
interpretation of different ones as to doctrine or teachings,  or 
thoughts, but Jesus is the Solid, unmovable Rock. I believe in 
doctrine, teachings, but much more solid is to be built upon that 
Rock, the Rock of stumbling and offense.
