The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church of the Lord.

"For I tell you, you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it;   And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "   Matthew 16:13-19

The stone foundation on which the gates of hell shall not prevail.

"The Lord liveth, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation. " Psalm 18:46

I decided to write about presenting what is already written in both the Old and New Testaments, as in all cases we see that the vastness of texts on the Rock and the Stone of Israel, Rome only presented what interested you in your particular , harmful and petty interpretation.

Recently I received an email about something happened in the year 1553, where His Holiness Pope Julius III, ordered three of its wisest bishops to make a study on what the Bible teaches and the result has been frightening the document being presented Directions Relating to Methods appropriate to fortify the Church of Rome. They concluded that the teachings of Rome had nothing to do with the bible and directed that such a book could not in any way reach the hands of the people at the risk of the clergy and the Pope being hated by the people .

The Church of Jesus Christ.

She was born on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem in mid-first century, where the disciples gathered in prayer in obedience to "Tarry at Jerusalem until endued with power from a high" were baptized with the Holy Spirit. It also said there was fulfilled by John the Baptist, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, he came in that virtue and power of Elijah, and type of the church and baptized in the waters that Jesus the Christ of God baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Immediately the early church was persecuted by religion pro - form and where believers were fleeing persecution announce God's salvation in Christ Jesus. Paul chaser became a missionary and gospel came to the then known world.

The gates of hell began to open up about the Lord's Church.

The Key. Which door?

It was the time of the Roman Empire, with the "Caesar Augustus", descendants of the head of gold Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon the great. These were regarded as gods. But what happens to the church of the Lord and Holy One of Israel composed of born-again Christians ... THE LORD IS ONLY ONE GOD AND GOD IS THE LORD. Because of such a confession of faith the faithful not bowed before the statue of Nebuchadnezzar, or Cesar and not in front of anyone who sets himself up as God in the place of God on earth. Began an uprising within the domain of the Roman Empire, the authority and deity of Cesar was being wound.

This insurrection was no longer a problem of the Jews, but threatened the empire of the Caesars, for those believers died, but Cesar confessed as Lord. The chase was the peak and the crowds have reveled in the slaughter at the coliseum, but already around 350 AD, Emperor Constantine came to the conclusion that it was useless to pursue the Christians and the persecution served as a debugger of faith and death many others were converted to their officers themselves. So ... WITH THEM IF WE CAN NOT let us join with THEM.

It was easy enough decree and a whole empire would become Christian. And Vapit and vupit. It is clear that his position as Emperor infallible and worthy of honor and glory could not change and he only made ​​a few arrangements and is titled A prince all his subjects. Later with the end of territorial empire and the final arrangements would not fit over the title of Emperor, and this became the leader of the Christian religion Maximus, and is titled Pope and the Holy Father and the Holy Father.

Inquisition? Hard to believe.

The gates of hell began to open on the Lord's Church and for hundreds of years the land remained in the dark and scientists and scholars were killed, because it constituted a danger to the church at all costs tried to keep his subjects in the darkness of ignorance. The situation remained in total darkness and many things diametrically opposed to Scripture, were introduced as cristãs.Tudo practices that gave money to the fortunes of the church in Rome was even with the infamous sale of indulgences. Misrepresented everything and even had a shot at the position then destroy all the writings of the disciples of Jesus and even the Old Testament. Until helped preserve it comovemos the establishment and decisions of the council of Hippo on the biblical canon, around 393 AD, with or without the Apocrypha do not know what does not change the absolute truth of salvation by grace through faith, by the blood Jesus the Christ of God, But I know that the Lord God the Holy One of Israel is loyal and preserved the Almighty and His written Word. The thing was ugly and going from bad to worse, until around 1000 AD
The reality is that long ruled the earth disguised materialism suffered a lot from it. Peoples and nations of all languages ​​and families who suffered and were raped by olitico P R S ystem eligioso Poliecoreligioso now perfected the system.

Martial law. The Medieval Inquisition.

The Spirit of the living God and began working interest in the scriptures and the wailing of some precious souls ascend to the throne of the Almighty and the light begins to rair and disturbing darkness and his princes, and as might be expected around 1184, was established by the Council of Verona "The Inquisition of a heretic."

The Book of the Eternal God.

Men like Thomas Aquinas had its particular importance at that time with his writings and suddenly in response to action of the Spirit of God a man fanatic in the scriptures, and the cry of the voice of one crying in the wilderness of Florence ..."The people of all Italy flocked in ever growing numbers, to Florence. The famous Duomo no longer contained the huge crowds. The preacher, Girolamo Savonarola, aflame with the fire of the Holy Spirit ....

JERONIMO!! Shaking the structures of the gates of hell would not prevail against the Church of the Lord. Hallelujah! oh glory!

The Rock and Stone of Israel:

"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that the Son of man? And they said: Some John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.

Look at the characters presented here and consider them in relation to Peter.   John the Baptist   MORE than Peter and bigger than all those born of women, and   Elias   Car & Fire.

He said to them:   And who do you say I am? (Imagine Peter here responding to the question of the Lord:   Thou art the Christ the son of Mother Mary, etc..)   What do you say to Peter?   Here let the reader answer.

"He said to them:   And who do you say I am? And Simon Peter answered and said: And Jesus answering said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, hath not revealed flesh and blood, but my Father in heaven.

And I also say that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it;   And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "  Matthew 16:13-19

Analyzing the text.

"I tell you that you are Peter, and on   this rock   (You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.)   I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it ... "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."   1st Corinthians 3:11.

"Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone;"   Ephesians 2:20.

The key was given to the church   Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets that Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone

And the redeemed of the Lord, redeemed by his blood in their own words the Apostle Peter:   "And you come to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. "   1 Peter 2:4-5.

A wonderful example of the key to the kingdom of heaven into action and   church as a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, forgiving sins  is the experience of Stephen to be stoned to intercede    and closed the door of hell and of heaven opened for Saul   which was transformed into Paul.

To better understand Jesus the Foundation and Cornerstone = Head; Holy Church, comprised born-again believers living stones that areits members = Body.

He died, rose again, ascended into heaven and is on the right hand of Our Father in heaven (Matthew 23:9) intercedes for the holy Church but his body made ​​up of flawed men and sinners, who can not nothing without Him (John 15:5 ) but moved by his spirit and voice, in perfect communion as that in the face of stephen stone but did not lower his head stared upward and saw Jesus ready to receive him, and interceded for their tormentors saying to Jesus the Author and Finisher of faith:"Lord Jesus did not charge them with this sin."

Notice that Stephen is not directed to his captors to forgive them that sin, which does not fit and not fit to any man, because the scriptures do not contradict. He member of the body of Jesus, in intimate communion with Jesus intercedes for all head and the Lord hears and saves Saul of Tarsus.

Continues with The Rock, Stone and stones.
