When Jesus returns at the last trumpet, death will be swallowed up in victory and there will then be no more death, which will fulfill Isaiah 25:8.

Actually, Paul by the Holy Spirit gave us the doctrine of the Body of Christ, the New Man, coming to a perfect Man, and for us to put on the new man. Finally, husbands are to love their wives as their BODY as Christ loves His BODY.

`For we are members of His BODY, His FLESH, His BONES.` (Eph. 5: 30)
Ephesians 5
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

In Ephesians 5:31,32 Paul by the Holy Spirit gives us the relationship between husband and wife as an illustration of the relationship between Christ and the Church.

The male husband represents Christ, who is male.

The female wife represents the Church, thus the Church is female.

This is consistent with the female gender of the Greek ekklēsian, translated "church", as I showed previously.

Male Paul was a member of the female Church.

Therefore according to your perspective, Paul was either transgender or homosexual. :laughing:

Did he know?

When you tell us, also explain how male Paul being a member of the female Church made him homosexual. :laughing:

As God`s word says - no male or female, but BOTH. The NEW MAN has the male and female characters.

For you as a male desiring to be part of a female bride, and marry Jesus, that seems transgender or even homosexual!
LOL! You can't be for real. This is the most ridiculous post I've ever seen. You've apparently lost your mind. Should I say that you, as a female, being part of the new man seems transgender or even homosexual? LOL! Let us know if you ever want to be taken seriously.

I guess Marylin, being a female and a member of "the new man" makes her transgender or homosexual. Or both. According to her own ridiculously flawed logic, anyway. LOL.

You forgot the transgenders and homosexuals. How disappointing. :laughing:

Lesson ended.

This is what you call good scriptural discussion? LOL. Let us know if you ever decide to get serious.
