    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    `these people????` I think you need to learn to speak better to others and not denigrate them. This is what God`s word says about how we are to behave when teaching. Do you qualify? `And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Yes, and He rules. It is not talking about land, as God made it all and never gave it away. people think when God talks about kingdom it means he is going to take over the earth. Well, He never gave it away. God is talking about rulership.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Yes, the church in the wilderness purpose has been put on hold till the Lord comes to deliver Israel and judge the nations. (Zech. 12: 10) Jesus said He would build His ekklesia, the called out ones, which as we know now is the Body of Christ. The church ekklesia, called out of the nations...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    But you give NO scriptures to support your claim! Just your opinion. We don`t come out of Christ`s body we are born again of incorruptible SEED through the word of God. (1 Peter 1: 23) yes, take the kingdom rule from the nation of Israel in Jesus` time and give it to the nation of Israel at...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    You have to prove that. Where in God`s word do you see the 12 disciples going to the nations of the world? The Body cannot be a Body and a Bride. Nonsense. It is God who called Israel the Church in the wilderness. (Acts 7: 38) Yes we, the believers in the Body of Christ are all baptised...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    The word is NOT `married,` but `might become.` The Greek work for `married` is `Gamed,` while in Rom. 7: 4 the Greek word is Ginomai.` See verse 13, the same word.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    See post 761. `This is he who was in the Church in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us....` (Acts 7: 38) I`m saying that God recognizes the two churches/ekklesia that He made - Israel and the...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Actually, we are born of the `incorruptible seed` through the word of God. `...having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides for ever. ` (1 Peter 1: 23)

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Actually, I did go to Bible College. And did Peter want to go to the Gentiles. No! he had to be taken by the collar and shown that what God calls clean is clean. So, no Peter did not understand or obey the Lord until the Holy Spirit had to get to him. Yes, we are all in God`s Great Kingdom and...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    A doctrine is NOT based on symbols and pictorial language. Doctrine is clear, straight forward language as Eph. 1 - 4 speaking of the New Man coming to the Perfect Man.

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Mmm I don`t seem to have that scripture in my Bible about Thomas going to India. As to the `good news,` yes Peter and Paul agreed that Jesus was Lord and Messiah and that the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles, however, where do you read of Peter teaching about the Body of Christ? That was...

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    `My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you.` (Gal. 4: 19) That is Paul talking to HIS disciples and using pictorial language as is `bearing fruit to God.` (Rom. 7: 4)

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    And Jesus told His 12 disciples to go into all the world. Where do you see they did that? And what doctrine did they teach of the Body of Christ please before Paul received his revelation. Scriptures?

    THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

    Peter is part of the ekklesia of Israel. Please give scriptures to show differently. Adam and Eve becoming ONE flesh is like Christ and His Body, ONE flesh. `We are members of His flesh and of His bones.` (Eph. 5: 30) We are the New Man which is coming to a Perfect man. (Eph. 2: 15 4: 13)...
