    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Thanks so much for your ideas here Brother Phillip in Jesus’ name. Notice above that I emboldened Wedding Guests concerning those with Jesus. If the bride is Israel, why will all Israel be saved during the millennium? Rom 11:26 in context of Israel future, “And so all Israel shall be saved.”...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    That sounds close enough to me. :)

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Hi and thanks Brother Phillip James. Can you explain a bit more how you see that occurring at the last supper? When you say the bride is Israel; are you saying that the wedding occurs at the end of the millennium? My question to that would be why are they not kept from the temptation to come...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Amen, and you sure have this right. I'll just paste an excerpt of the study of the parable of the Wheat & the Tares written by Mary Bodie I think pretty much says that. "The King commands that, for the present time, the tares and the wheat be allowed to grow together. This refers to the...

    What's the Weather Like in your part of the world Right Now?

    With many days around a hundred degrees in Colorado, it's water the lawn, keep the cooler running, and listening to the noise of fireworks attempting to start wildfires in celebration of our victory over the British in the eighteenth century? What? o_O

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Hi Brother Ac28, I don’t know if you’ve read any of my explanation of the Old Testament’s elect comparison with those becoming the new man in Christ. I use the example of John the Baptist in Mat 11:11. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Here is something I’m not acquainted with, and that is that there is a doctrine equating the tares with believers of the church. To me there is no part of the tares that ever were of the Church. Yes! Who do you think they are? Until the end of those in Laodicea, and He turns again to Israel...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Hi Brother Ac28 and thanks for contributing your thoughts about the bride of Christ. I did give you a like, although I don't think I'm agreeing with your thoughts of it. I'm always glad to see where others bring forth different ideas. The thing that comes to mind if I'm understanding what...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Hi Brother brakelight, and welcome to this discussion. What makes you believe that? I think of the scripture in Act 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for His name. If they be Gentile, who other than the Church could be...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Okay, I think I'm seeing the problem of the differences in what we're saying. Concerning the church in Smyrna (Rev 2:10), there is no condemnation shown to them. If they remain faithful until death they will receive a crown. These are the twenty-four elders of Rev 4:4. Regardless of our reward...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Amen. Okay dear brother, it’s time to add to the equation. I’ll first repeat Rev 19:8 and the meaning of righteousness used in the verse. Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness (Strong’s 1345) of saints...

    Teh Shack - Not my testimony

    My daughter was pushing me yesterday to see that movie; she is renting it to watch a second time. With a testimony and loyality like that, she ought buy stock in the film.

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Agree completely with this brother, but in Jesus' selection of a bride we're not talking of being torn from the body, but the reward of a life lived for Him. Again in Rev 19:7 the bride has made herself ready. How? As John was shown the Day of the Lord from the perspective of heaven, he saw...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Hi Brother Harvest 1874. thank you. Are you saying that all in Christ are saved, but not going to have God's best and perfect will for them? Some are chosen to be Jesus' bride and others aren't? Thus the instruction to repent in five portions of the Church in Revelation chapters two & three?

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Thanks and no dispute with this at all, but with your admitted statement that some lose their rewards, that is exactly what is occurring. The suffering of 2Ti 2:12 If we suffer is not the physical sufferings because of being a desciple of Jesus, but more at abiding, enduring, or persevering in...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Good to see you seeing some of this brother. As this develops we’ll add to the background for some of this. Suffice to say for the moment, we have been taught many things that tend to that attempt to tie all of God’s work in us as complete, and it is the very judgment seat of Christ of...

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Starting as a royal priesthood, and enduring to reign with Jesus as kings and priests seem to me to be two different things? 2Ti 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. What will Jesus deny us; not reigning? Now I'll add a bit to the mix. Do you...

    Anyone From Rapture Ready Forums?

    I agree on this also. There is much in numerology as types I see used, but while realizing it is real, I don't have enough background and/or knowledge to apply them to categorically stating some number I've seen others attempt to apply them. Thanks again.

    Who is the Bride of Christ?

    Amen. I hope to establish that order scripturally as we proceed. thanks for your reply in Jesus' name.

    Ephod and the Breastplate of Judgment

    Amen. 2 Co 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ (this is not the great white throne judgment); that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Will we appear before some later chastening or other...
