The gates of hell have not prevailed against the body of Christ.

My Bible says, "and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Does your Bible say, "and on this rock, I will build my Body of Christ?"

If so, how can an invisible Body of Christ settle a disciplinary or doctrinal dispute?

No, it does not. It says "I will build my ekklesia which means an assembly of those called out. The Catholic perversion of that word presents a false meaning. The Rock it is built on is Christ not Peter.
