THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

[Titus]

In Gal 2:9 Paul was referring to something that had happened in the past, not long after Paul was saved....apparently before James was martyred.

Give Scripture.
I already showed you James the apostle was dead when Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians.
The very first chapter Paul says James is the Lords brother.

Galatians 1:19,
- but other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lords brother

I'm just saying in his letter to the Galations Paul was referring back to a time in the past, so perhaps James the apostle was still alive at the time Paul was speaking about. In any case I don't want to keep arguing about this forever....I seem to see there are indications in the bible that some apostles happened to have had more prominence or influence or carried more weight and were of greater repute than others and you don't agree, so we'll just have to agree to disagree.

(And just to add, if the James that Paul mentioned in Gal 2:14 is the brother of Jesus then likely it isn't the same James who was present at the transfiguration, so we can scratch that, no problem.)
