I know bride is a metaphor, for the sentence shows it is a metaphor. But nowhere is the church used as a metaphor. You need to show the evidence for that. It has been teh eternal city of God. It is not new. It is new on earth but has been the eternal city of God. Paradise was absorbed...

So you believe the church becomes the new Jerusalem with gates and streets of Gold and pearly gates. OK then. we go from people to divine walls and gates and buildings and streets! WOW!

Then why do they have to learn from their mistakes? Show me in Scripture this is Gods plan for mankind. These evils were all the results and progressive growth of sin in mankind and not Gods plan to teach us from our mistakes. Show from Scripture God teaches that way. And species is not what...

It does, but as you said, you don't believe it. Well As I said, I am not a greek expert, having only taken one year of Greek. By the way , how much formal greek studies have you had? But I do rely on Greek experets. And you are correct in that teh verse does not say in heaven. but as the...

Yes I do! but the church ends at the raputre which you disbelieve. Well to know this, you must follow rules of grammar and understand what is said in the Greek. Teh wedding takes place in heaven. I know I am no greek expert, but I do rely on Greek experts. I only had 1 year of greek studies...

Actually, eros love is a sensul (physical) or passionate love. It is not in and of itself an evil love. If we say in English "I love hot dogs" that would be eros. If we say last night I made love to my wife, that also is eros and is not evil. It is just physical. While phileo is a...

So you are saying the new Jerusalem is actually the church?????? Your error is that you forget basic grammar that this passage is a metaphor. that is made clear by that little word "as". The whole chapter describes the new Jerusalem. so you are saying the bride of Christ (the church) is...

I rejoice in what I teach for it exalts and glorified the Lord Jesus. You err greatly in that you forget : Dan. 7: 19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured...

It shows that the bride is in heaven before the return of Jesus. she(the church) has gone through the bema judgment, her works tried and the bad burned and the good rewarded. The fact the wedding takes place in heaven is that "is come" is 2nd aorist active indiciative which means in a modern...

Maybe just hundreds dogs included all dogs! Adam most likely did not have 200-300 species of different dogs. Once again you say genius level intelligence which is wrong. No matter what fancy phrasing you use you are still saying, that God allowed them to do evil so they may have knowledge of...

did you mean sin??

And that is why I have often repeated that saving faith produces good works

Section 1 No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more...

Something for you to ponder; So you are saying we would not appreciat4e good more if we never became intimate with evil? Adam and Eve had that choice to love (obey) or not. Don't eat the apple. And you are saying if Adam and Eve never failed we would not know faith, love peace? Living in a...

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 King James Version 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the...

So Jesus lied when He said unless a person (man-anthropos--human) is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God. Do you think babies are not persons? So they lose this eternal life and have to get it all over again? How is that eternal life? So God intentionally let babies who live in...

So in other words, you are saying that Adam and Eve were too stupid to learn from Gods what is right and wrong, or that God was such a lousy teacher, He could not instruct Adam and Eve in right from wrong except to allow them to rebel against HIm. Interesting

That as well.

Well if you ignore the rapture, which is not the second coming of Jesus but His descent into the atmosphere to gather the church to Himself, then you are correct. But since there is a rapture before His second coming to earth, you are mistaken. The Rapture is not teh second coming of jesus...

I know because it is written. It is thw why that God did not tell us. Yes all are saved because the blood of Jesus and His physical resurrection. But not all are part of the church/bride of Christ/Body of Christ. That is limited to those saved from Pentecost when the church was born untill...
