“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.”
Protestants in our zeal to discredit the claims of Roman Catholicism concerning Peter can get too tied up in the first part of the verse and miss the point that Jesus came to call out and build a mighty church, which will storm and defeat the godless institutions of the world. In our zeal to save our own soul and the souls of individuals, we lose may focus on the church as the Army of God, that is ruling and reigning with Christ.
