Mark asked:

Why is God also called a rock?

===========

In the Bible (Second Book of Samuel, 22.2,3) it is written: "And he (David) said, The LORD is my
rock, and my fortress and my deliverer; The God, my rock; in his will I trust: he is my shield and the
horn of my salvation, my high tower and my refuge, my saviour, thou savest me of violence."

In the above passage one observes that God is called a rock metaphorically. The believer considers
him as a natural stronghold. A shelter solid like a rock.
