"And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." = Matt 16:18
Jesus prophesized that the gates of hell would not prevail against His "church."
The question w/in Christendom that has been argued for centuries (and w/in FR) has been: "who/what is Christ's church?"
“The question w/in Christendom that has been argued for centuries (and w/in FR) has been: “who/what is Christ’s church?””
That was not Yeshua’s conversation. The conversation with the disciples in the scripture is about who do people say Yeshua is. The correct answer was given by Peter, and Yeshua says THAT ANSWER, that Yeshua is Christ, is the foundation of His Church. Not Peter.
