The Church is the Body of Christ. It doesn't "make" people do anything. Try to make your next question intelligent.

I am the church. Every Christian is the church. The church is not a place or a building. "Church" is a living organism that is growing in the likeness of Jesus.
It is Jesus that purifies us.
I am not yet pure, but I am moving in that direction. Lord willing I will continue to grow in the knowledge of the grace of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, until that day when I will see my Lord and hear, "well done good and faithful servant."

When people get baptized I doesn't mean that they aren't tempted by things. I just means that you have a second chance. When I go to church i feel as if I must beg for forgiveness. I am not perfect because I go to church. There are no Ned Flanders out there.

That is not the job of the church... the church is there for fellowship with other believers and as a place to worship freely and in peace.

"The church" makes no one do anything...It is something people choose to do for themselves...However, NO ONE could possibly be pure in thought, word, and deed while we are living surrounded by sin.

No, it didn't and hasn't.
But then, that's not what church is for.
Church provides a place where Believers can congregate and worship together, and support one another through life's difficulties and sin issues.

Only the Jewish Messiah can make you Kosher. We are made kosher through Him, not unto ourselves. Shalom.

No one can be purified from the outide. Purification comes from within.

no, but it did succeed in making itself corrupt in every thought, word, and deed.

I don't think it's possible to do that 100%. We must keep trying and praying.
