Heresies have been with us from the Church’s beginning. They even have been started by Church leaders, who were then corrected by councils and popes. Fortunately, we have Christ’s promise that heresies will never prevail against the Church, for he told Peter, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18).
The verse talks about a gate...And looking at the context of the verse, Hell already has some control over the church...Hell has the church locked in...But the gates of Hell that are holding the church WILL NOT PREVAIL...
How you ever got that YOUR church is infallible out of that verse is mind boggling...
You ever read about a church in Hell in the Scriptures???

Please .... tell us what that control is that hell has over the church. (Don't forget to cite the verse!)

Wow, I’m not seeing “gate” in that verse.
CTrent1564, can you give us some insight to this?
