Iffy INSANE proposition to expect a Church to stop Hitler

'Upon this Rock I shall build my church'

The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

This curious statement is found in Matthew 16:18,

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

<> There was a Catholic Church in Germany. It was not run by the Govt.<>

Germany had an apostate church and Hitler was equivalent to "the gates of hell."

<> THe Catholic Church in Germany was faithful.Individual members of that Catholic Chuch were not<>

It is not an INSANE proposition to expect a CHURCH to preclude a Hitler.

<>. It IS insane to expect a Church to stop a Hitler...Free Will....Judas betrayed Jesus. Besides, Hitler was not a Catholic. To be Catholic, one must maintain the Bonds of Unity in Worship, Doctrine, Authority. Hitler rejcted all three. Hitler was not a Christian. <>
