What rock? The rock of the identity of Jesus Christ as the Son of the Living God.

He was the son in his humanity, but he did claim to be the father and Isaiah said he was:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (
Isa. 9:6 KJV)
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (
Jn. 8:58 KJV)
I and my Father are one. (
Jn. 10:30 KJV)
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? (
Jn. 14:8-9 KJV)
There are too many verses that identify the deity of Jesus as Jehovah. Unless you believe in more than one Jehovah there's no way Jesus is not the Father.
