The Gates of Hades

When we were conceived, were we within the "gates of Hades?"

The answer is Yes!

We were condemned already for unbelief, as "made sinners" thus within the entry portal of Hades. Praise God, these "gates" can be overpowered by the church, and those of His choosing can be taken from the realm of the condemned, and transferred into the kingdom of His Beloved Son. Matthew 16:18

Everyone should know that each and every one of us were conceived as a child of wrath, a vessel of wrath and were spiritually located within the "gates of Hades." None of us were conceived within Christ as an initially born child of God, that is why we had to be "born anew."

When we were originated, conceived, spiritually born as a "made sinner" we needed to be born anew. We were children of wrath, vessels of wrath, and needed to be born anew as children of God, vessels of mercy.

When were we given the right to become children of God? Before we were conceived or after we individually believed?

You might start searching for the answer in the first dozen or so verses of the gospel of John.
