Basic Bible 101, The Church is the bride of Christ, a subject not worth debating IMHO

Jesus Is The Lord
Hi Truth,

God`s word says the Church is the New Man, and we are to put on the new man and the Lord will bring it to a perfect man. We are being made into the image of Jesus, a glorified man, (male and female character).

So why do you want to be a woman, part of a bride?

Do you say to an unsaved man, (even a homosexual) `Come to Jesus and be part of His bride?`

You look at the physical "Wrong" the spiritual person within us (Gender Neutral) is the bride of Christ

Where did I say
You reframed to say " I am not speaking of Christ and the church.

Where does Paul present us to the Lord?

Jesus is the bridegroom to Israel as John said.

Great truths of Christ of which the whole Bible is about. But the whole Bible is NOT all about US.
The church is not israel
The letter is to the church.
YOU CHANGED IT ON PURPOSE

Again, WHY CHANGE IT????.

Is that your best shot at changing the bible?
When he Bible says we are seated together with him in heavenly places, do you also over anylize that?
Do you say, "ha ha, I am obviously here on earth."
Do you walk around like 15"th century knight with your armor on?
Do you tell paul, "what is going on here, I don't have the full armor of God"
"That armor of God deal is ridiculous, I don't have any armor on".
" it would be way too cumbersome and no tin shield is going to to stop any darts from the devil"
" and who believes the devil uses fire and darts????....., there are no darts, or fire, or armor"
" it all represents israel"

So when was the Body of Christ revealed?
John is speaking through revelation gven him from heaven.
Do you also rebel at John's revelation: "the Lamb of God"
Do you insist John was mistaken, and that Jesus did not have a wool jumpsuit on?

Who s directing you in these wild bible changes?????????

LOL. Why are you acting as if the bride of Christ is a physical entity? It's not. It's a spiritual entity. In reality, it's neither male nor female. It's a term used to describe the spiritual entity containing those who belong to Christ and are in a personal, spiritual relationship with Him. Paul compares it to the relationship between a husband and wife in Ephesians 5, but that doesn't mean you should think of the bride of Christ as if it describes a physical woman. That's ridiculous. The church is both the bride of Christ and the new man. Those are figurative ways to describe the spiritual entity we call the church. It's also called the body of Christ. I'm sure you don't think we, the church, are a literal, physical body. So, don't think of the bride of Christ as being a literal woman, either.

The Gospels were written about when Jesus was manifest on earth. There is NO Body of Christ then or even know then.

I also believe in Israel and the Body of Christ as separate purposes of God.

The Lord does NOT have romantic love He has agape, the giving of oneself.

The personal spiritual relationship with the Lord is by the Holy Spirit to the Head. Nothing closer than that.
