The body of Christ is His bride (the one mentioned in Revelation). Just as Adam's bride was his own body, "bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh". Read Ephesians 5, where it draws the parallel between the relationship of a husband and wife and Christ and the Church. No man hates his own body, but...

You agreed He dwells in New Jerusalem by His Spirit. God dwells in us. We are New Jerusalem.

How does this argument do anything to address or debunk anything I stated about the Church being Christ's own body and bride?

If they were "Gentiles" who were "of the remnant of Israel" (LOL!), he would use the same language as he used of the branches that had been broken off from THEIR OWN olive tree, which they are native to--that they were being grafted back in--but, as we see, he describes these Gentile believers...

He's really sounding like a "Black Hebrew Israelite"--literally the dumbest, most bereft, emotion-based, system ever created--as far as I can tell. He hasn't clarified. Maybe he was influenced by them, but isn't, himself, one. IDK

@Doug Keep pushing, keep being recalcitrant, so you can get tuned up in front of everyone. There isn't a point you have raised that hasn't been thoroughly debunked; the same will apply with every other objection you raise. Keep it up, you're helping everyone see how incoherent your view is.

Nope, or else he wouldn't have said he was trying to fulfill Dt 32:21 in magnifying his ministry to the Gentiles (Ro 11)--the prophecy is that God's people had made God jealous by choosing another God, and, so, in like manner, God would make those very same people (who had made Him jealous)...

LOL Christ is the antitype of the promised land, or else He wouldn't have warned "I will vomit you out of My mouth". Anyway, guy, you mean well, but you don't know your left hand from your right as far as Scripture goes.

Right, the bride is the dwelling place of God, and we are the dwelling place of God, and we must clothe ourselves with good deeds, or else we will walk naked, and men see the shame of our nakedness, and we will be thrown out, vomited out of the promised Land.

Nope, it's talking about the wedding banquet, and I don't think you took the time to glance at the other verses I raised. The bottom line is you have, in your approach, a bunch of scattered verses, none of which cohere with one another, whereas looking at them in a holistic sense, as I do...

LOL The "bride" is New Jerusalem. What was "Jerusalem" known for being? The dwelling place of God : Revelation 21: 2I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying...

Right, and I showed you that WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD. What was in "Jerusalem"? God's Temple. I also showed you "from Revelation" that the Bride clothes herself, and her clothing is the righteous deeds of the saints : the fact that the Bride clothes herself with good deeds, and these good deeds...

Bring a substantive response, not an empty one--PROVE that I have erred in understanding the verses I cited that prove my view.

Persuaded by Scripture--the Scripture which you insist on rebelling against.

LOL 1 Corinthians 3:16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? Jerusalem was known for what? Being the place where God dwelled. Today, God dwells in us. 1 Peter2L5you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be...

It's important to bear this in mind--otherwise, we would be relegated to believing Christ must be destroyed in the future, because people idolize Him, since He said He was typified by the Bronze Serpent. There are limitations to each picture that is employed to paint a picture of the truth. If...

Welcome to my ignore list!

Ephesians 5 28So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church... So, just as a man, according to what is reasonable, nourishes...

Ephesians 5:31 cites Genesis 2, which was Adam instituting marriage, and Christ is the last Adam, and the antitype to the type of Adam (Ro 5; 1 Co 15), so whoever Christ's "bride" is, it is going to be called His own body, just as Eve was Adam's own body. If that creates difficulties in...
