Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against the Church, Elder McConkie disagrees. I’ll stick with Jesus on this one!
Welcome to FRee Republic n00bie...
I agree with you...
The LORD Jesus Christ who is God when speaking of His Bride, the Body of Christ, His Body as He is the Head of the Church, said, “on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
and neither Hell nor anything else has ever taken the Church away or destroyed her...
nor has the Church ever needed to be “restored”
not in 2,000 years...
The LORD Jesus Christ is a Bridegroom who loves and cherishes His Bride and can be trusted and relied upon to keep her safe and protected from the wolves..
and never lose her, neglect her, forget her, drop her misplace her or allow her to be stolen away...
