    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

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

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

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

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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...

    Mary as New Eve

    Welcome to my ignore list!

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    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...

    Mary as New Eve

    Are you coming from a Catholic or non-Catholic perspective?

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Oops! He literally cites Genesis 2, which is about Adam and Eve. Ephesians 5 31FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. The body of Christ is Christ's bride, just as Eve was Adam's body and bride. LOL It's so...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    LOL If Paul doesn't use the "bride" but uses the word "espoused", does that debunk me? He already told you Adam and Eve is a deep mystery that concerns Christ and the Church! Ipso facto, what ever Eve was to Adam, that is what the Church is to Christ! Eve was Adam's own body, and was formed for...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    When you affirm the Church is the body of Christ, you already concede the Church is the bride of Christ, because Adam's bride, Eve, was his own body, "bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh", and Christ is the antitype to Adam (Ro 5; 1 Co 15). Pretty straightforward.

    Mary as New Eve

    Years ago, I learned that the Bible teaches that only the Church could be the New Eve : 1. The typological evidence in Scripture points to the Church being the New Eve, not Mary : i. Adam was the head of the human race, and Christ is the head of a new human race (Ro 5; 1 Co 15), ii. Eve was...

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    If @bigboyjohnson had read before responding (Proverbs 18:13), he would've known that I do not deny the idea that we are responsible for believing the Gospel, and that we are also responsible for walking in faith after believing the Gospel, and that it is the Grace of God that allows people to...

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    You are not worth my time. Welcome to the ignore list! Titus 3:10As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    LOL You already admitted you didn't even read what you're calling "false doctrine". You're arrogant and puffed up, and, according to Proverbs 18:13, you're a fool. Either humble yourself, and engage in honest dialogue, or shut up and scram.
