    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Doing good results in a harvest of eternal life "in due time" if we persist therein. John 5:28“Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    How are you so mixed up then? lol Yeah, Peter didn't understand--I agree. Still, eventually, they went, so... what's your point? They went to the nations and taught the nations to observe all things Christ taught them to observe--meaning that your nonsensical idea that "Oh, no, that was...

    Yeah, Romans 7 says we're the wife married to a new husband bearing fruit to God.

    You know what would be really cool? If people stuck to the topic.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    1. There is no question about whether or not we who are in Christ, the Seed of Abraham, are heirs : 29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise. 2. The passage tells you at least one of the blessings (those who don't have it are "cursed" bc they...

    @Marilyn C Anyway, again, got to do some sleeping.

    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...

    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...
