would  enter  to  go  in.  Woe  to  you,  scribes  and
                                       Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea
                                       and land to make a single proselyte, and when he

                                       becomes  a  proselyte,  you  make  him  twice  as
                                       much a child of hell as yourselves. Matthew 23:1-
                                       15 ESV [Emphasis added]

                                Hell.

                                The gates of hell will not prevail against the spiritual Church,

                                the Body of Christ. All those  who have received the Holy
                                Spirit are “the Church.” Also, Jesus mentions an “everlasting
                                punishment,” not a sanctifying purgatory. We are sanctified
                                through the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and through doing
                                the will of the Lord; this is biblical, as referenced before.
                                Jesus said:


                                       And fear not them which kill the body, but are not
                                       able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is

                                       able  to  destroy  both  soul  and  body  in  hell.
                                       Matthew 10:28 (KJV)

                                       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. Matthew

                                       16:18 (KJV)

                                       Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye
                                       escape  the  damnation  of  hell?  Matthew 23:33
                                       (KJV)

                                                              151
