    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Are you trying to resolve Acts 21 with this odd, deranged, interpretation of Scripture? I don't understand what problem you're trying to solve by (illegitimately) dividing the Church up like this. Or is this really just your straightforward reading of the texts? What problem are you trying to...

    Then your title is wrong.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    I think "the body" and "the bride" are two sides of the same coin : Eve was Adam's own body and was his bride, and Christ is the antitype to Adam (Ro 5)--His body being His bride would make perfect sense.

    Mary as New Eve

    Correct. I already detected errors in traditions you hold to. Why on earth would I take anything you all would say wholesale, unthinkingly? Makes no sense.

    Mary as New Eve

    Yeah, I'm not putting my soul in anyone else's hands. What kind of foolishness would that be?

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    I thought you were being sarcastic (in a good way) so I laughed at your joke.

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    They're not interested in truth, they have their manmade tradition--they believe a tiny sliver of Scripture to the exclusion of all else. They plug their ears, and scream, "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    I don't know if you've picked up on it, but some people are beyond being reasoned with. It may be a waste of your energies.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    @Doug Still haven't gotten an answer to this--Jewish believers have died, thus were freed from their obligation to serve by the Law, and are no longer in the flesh but are in the spirit (Ro 7:5, 8:9)...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    If Peter was never in the Church, why does he think that Jesus's rules about the Church apply to him, so that he asks about how many times he should forgive his brother, and why does Jesus give him the rules for behavior in the Church? Matthew 18 15“If your brother sins, go and show him his...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    So, would you say that this would be one of the points on which you differ with Doug?

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Sorry, it was Ro 11:13

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    At the time, I was trying to understand your position--because it's really fortuitous, has no actual logic or sense--on whether the so-called "remnant of Israel believers" were "in Christ".

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    1. Before, you said that the difference between them and those who believe Paul's Gospel was that "we are secure in our salvation" but "they had no such assurance [of salvation]"... ...but, now, you're changing your argument. LOL! Could it be that you don't have a clue what you're talking...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    LOL! I thought you already conceded Peter was the rock He built His church on--it doesn't matter, though, because, at the end of the day, Peter is in the Church, and is given instructions for what to do with people who misbehave in the Church. Literally no one but some silly woman "gets" your...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    LOL! You all really are ridiculous. Jesus taught the disciples He would build His church, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it, and that if people misbehave, kick them out of the congregation, so they all had better behave... but Peter is not in the congregation, and he never was...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    It makes it more difficult to discuss things that our time zones are what they are--but I have to check out in the middle of our conversation. Sorry. It's late here.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    You said Peter was not in the Church. So, is he in, or did he get kicked out?
  19. GracePeace

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    So, again, you said Peter was not part of the Church, right?
  20. GracePeace

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    So, Peter is NOT part of Christ's Church which He says He will build, and that the gates of hell will not prevail against? LOL! What did Peter do that he got kicked out of the congregation? LOL!
