Debate: Have the gates of hell prevailed against the church Jesus founded on a rock, when He Himself said it could never happen? Did Christ who cannot lie fail to fulfill his promise? (view source)

No, the gates of hell have not prevailed against the Church built on the earthly Rock of St. Peter, with the heavenly Rock remaining Jesus Christ Our Lord. 2000 years of Church History bear witness to the Truth of Our Lord's Promise. God's Word attests it, history confirms it, and it's the Truth. The Church of Christ is the Catholic Church. God desires all Christians to be One in Full Communion with the Church and with each other. That's why He appointed St. Peter as the Head Bishop or First Pope of the Church, named him the visible Rock of the Church (Himself being the invisible Rock), and desired that all Christians look to the Pope as to the Chief Shepherd of Christ's Flock on Earth. If we all did that, all Christians would be One. [[User:NishantXavier|NishantXavier]]<sup>[[User talk:NishantXavier|For Christ the King]]</sup> 11:14, 27 August 2020 (EDT)

::"There shall be one flock and one shepherd" John 10:16. And yet the Bible '''''also''''' says there are many elders as guardians whom God has appointed as shepherds to feed the flock, Peter himself being an elder among them, whom Jesus himself '''first''' appointed to feed his sheep and ewes and lambs. Acts 20:28 and 1 Peter 5:1-6 and John 21:15-17. --[[User:IndependentSkeptic|IndependentSkeptic]] ([[User talk:IndependentSkeptic|talk]]) 11:40, 27 August 2020 (EDT)
