When I put a match to the pilot it acts like it is lit but when I pull the match away it is not lit it looks like the pilot is trying to blow out the match. It is almost like the gas coming into the house has been contaminated with non combustible air

This could be the case if you haven't used the heater for a while. You will need to close the main valve then unscrew the connection to the heater and open the valve for a few seconds till you smell gas. Close the valve and tighten the gas connection again. Leave it to air out for fifteen munites or so and try lighting again. Be sure to let the area air out as gas will explode.
