    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    It makes no sense, actually : based on your own logic, if anyone would be a part of "congregation of Israel", it would be Paul. It's just an arbitrary decision you've made to not follow your own logic and have him in "congregation of Israel", but part of something else.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Oh, OK, Ms. "Bible Scholar", the Apostles never went to the nations--they disobeyed Jesus Christ. No, we don't have Thomas going to India in the Bible, but we do have Peter going to the Gentiles (which is another word for "the nations"). 1. Peter taught that we were all being built up into a...

    Right, you asked when we became "feminine"--there's your answer.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Jesus said He would build His church, because He understands the Church global to be a singular entity--just as Paul says "you are members of His body--one is an eye, one is a hand". Are you saying Jesus is only building the "ekklesia of Israel", a made-up term, but He isn't building...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Like that time when Peter went to Cornelius, a Gentile, or when Thomas went to India? Jesus says a scribe or lawyer who converts brings forth from his treasury things both new and old--therefore, Paul taught the same as Peter, et al, he just went into further detail. If not, Paul couldn't have...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Please give Scripture where "ekklesia of Israel" appears in the New Covenant. Eve was literally Adam's own body LOL Ask Paul, who is "in pains of labor" (Gal 4:19), and who says we are "bearing fruit to God" together with Christ (Ro 7).

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Nope, He said "go disciple the nations teaching them to observe all things I taught you", so it applies to all believers.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    I'm not relying on God's Word? LOL! You literally said Peter is not part of the ekklesia, because, no, he will rule over the 12 tribes, but, also, Israel was called the ekklesia. Why would Paul be lying just because something was given to him by revelation? Remember also that he says he got it...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    The people here have no taste for truth--it is detestable to them.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Correction : THIS ISSUE is simple... there are other issues, especially justification, that are basically impossibly difficult that make you have to pray. At least that's how it is for me--and, apparently, others also find that difficult bc men have debated it basically since the founding of...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    It really is simple. No need for the overly complex web of insanity he has spun.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Yes, Peter describes the Church as God's house, and so does Paul. Jerusalem was the place where God dwelt on earth; now, New Jerusalem is the new place God dwells on earth--in all believers who have the Holy Spirit.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    But not true of Jews who are in the "remnant of Israel Church"? Why did Paul say Peter lived like a Gentile (Galatians 2) when Peter was making Gentiles live like Jews (even some were getting circumcised), showing him his hypocrisy? Why was Peter told to eat unclean food--then went and ate with...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    1. Again, Deuteronomy 32:21 says because they chose another god, so He chooses another people--to say that He chooses the same people to make them jealous is like saying they chose the same God, not another god, and that made God jealous. It makes no sense--it is nonsense, not sound doctrine. 2...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    How are they "remnant of Israel Gentiles" when you say the mechanism for anyone joining the remnant of Israel is "Peter's Gospel", but Paul says "I magnify MY ministry to you Gentiles"?

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    No, it's even weirder--in his schema, the mechanism whereby a Jew or a Gentile becomes "remnant of Israel Church" is Peter's Gospel, but the mechanism whereby a Jew or a Gentile becomes "body of Christ Church" is Paul's Gospel! (?) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He thinks Paul's Gospel is...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    OOPS! Galatians 3 1You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? 2This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? Having...

    Yeah, foaming at the mouth, schizophrenic ranting detail.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    It really is a hell of a lot of work talking with you. I have to do your side of the conversation, too. The fact that the Jewish believers are free from their obligation to serve by the Law proves they have died (Ro 7:1). How did they die? "Through the body of Messiah" : they are the body of...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    As has already been explained to you (but you never pay sufficient attention--you're completely lost in your own "Muppet Babies" world, apparently), Paul is citing Deuteronomy 32:21 when he says he wants to move his people to jealousy by magnifying his ministry to the Gentiles Deuteronomy...
