No He didn't...Jesus said the 'gates of Hell' would not prevail against it...

pre·vail –verb (used without object) 1. to be widespread or current; exist everywhere or generally: Silence prevailed along the funeral route. 2. to appear or occur as the more important or frequent feature or element; predominate: Green tints prevail in the upholstery. 3. to be or prove superior in strength, power, or influence (usually fol. by over): They prevailed over their enemies in the battle. 4. to succeed; become dominant; win out: to wish that the right side might prevail.

According to the dictionary, if the gates of Hell did "Prevail" The Catholic Church would be destroyed. I guess your interpreation is off.

The Living God is the pillar and ground of the truth, not some man-made religion...

That is not what the Bible says, As Father of Five quoted:“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15,

You might want to look that one up.

A guy can prove anything by the scripture if he mis-quotes enough scriptures...

I wish you had put this at the beginning of your post, so that we would know what you were planning on right from the start.
