If a person owns a house on Earth he has the right to exercise authority over it on Earth. If two or three own a business, they have the right to exercise the authority over that business. There are billions of people on this earth and many of them have a jurisdiction over some part of the earth. When the Blendeds decided to sever the relationship with Titus they had the right.

If you are in the world you would make this decision official in a court of law. You can fire people, and evict people.

However, the church is the kingdom of the heaven. This is not referring to a single locality. If those who are doing the firing or evicting are doing it in the name of Jesus, and then they tell it to the church. What they have bound or loosed on Earth will be what has been bound or loosed in heaven.

None of your quotes disputes that. None of your quotes says that people don't have the right or jurisdiction to fire people from businesses they own or to evict people from buildings they own. Likewise, none of your quotes of me says that the two or three "bind in heaven". Instead, I say if you bind on Earth "in the name of Jesus" then tell it to the church, then what you have bound on Earth will be what has been bound in heaven.

I realize it is impossible for you to understand what I am saying, but I also understand that it is very simple for everyone else reading this thread to understand. So I appreciate your posts because they give me the opportunity to drive this point home.

The gates of Hades refer to the counsel of Hades, the machinations, the schemes, the contrivances, the schemes of the dead. The goal is to put God's people in subjection to them, to bury them. That is the point of WL's doctrine of dirt. You must be in subjection to the three or four elders appointed by him and that represent his interest. The church then is put in their place of supporting his ministry, rather than the ministry supporting the church. FTTT, standing orders, legal defense fund, etc. None of this is supported by Matt 18. I do not need WL's good housekeeping seal of approval to sanction the Lord's table. I do not need WL's blessing on my meeting. What I do need is the presence of the Lord.
