    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...

    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.

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    Proverbs 18:13 is going to hell fire, then, because Proverbs 18:13 called you a fool for responding to a matter before even hearing it.

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    LOL What does He say about false accusation, like you've brought against me, claiming I say this and that false doctrine just so you can attack that straw man false representation? You want to attack, that's all. You're not interested in engaging in discussion.

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    OK feel free to get lost because you have nothing intelligent or helpful to say, just idiotic unthinking "discernment" that makes you into a fool, according to Proverbs 18:13. Imagine being so idiotic--"I don't know what this is, I haven't read it, but I don't believe it, and I know it's...

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    If you hadn't been a fool, and shamed yourself, but read before responding, you would've read that I don't believe any of the lies you are falsely accusing me of believing. You haven't read what I have said, which contradicts your "baloney" false accusation. LOL How can you accuse me of saying...

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    I don't know what your conception of being "under Grace" is; to me, it means you are "under the jurisdiction of Grace", meaning that the Spirit of Grace is in authority in your life, conforming you to God's good pleasure. It does not mean "everything you do is fine", or else Paul wouldn't have...

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    Being said to be "under Grace" and "within the Law of Christ" (1 Co 9:21) are one and the same : you can't be "under Grace" OR "within the Law of Christ", nor "under Grace" AND NOT "within the Law of Christ" (or vice versa). You can't be "within the Law of Christ" and NOT be "under Grace". How...

    Not Under Law, But Under Grace

    One of the major objections to this doctrine that is raised by so-called "Torah Observant" Christians is Acts 21. So, how can Paul affirm (to James, et al) that he "keeps Torah" when we know that he explicitly teaches that he is not under the Law, but is under Grace, because he died, thus, the...
