Have you read up to Jeremiah 3:14? It answers your question.Hi to all and many say that the BODY OF CHRIST is the BRIDE OF CHRIST ?
I say NO , and Christ already has and EX - WIFE , in Jer 3:8 and then wants yet another WIFE ??
Will they ever RECONCILE with His EX ??
What say you ?

I gave the definition. Let the OP and others decide if it's applicable.Don't be so fast to accuse others of blasphemy... That's a very hard judgment. I think you simply misunderstand his question.
Romans 11:1-24 makes it clear that God has not given up on Israel, and that Gentiles were grafted in. Branches were "broken off" for the sake of grafting in the Gentile believers, but not all the branches. The Church is a combination of the "old bride" and the "new bride". But as I said, from the very beginning that them-and-us distinction was never His ultimate purpose.I don't see that in the New Testament. What I do see is that the Christian church is described as "the new Israel". The bond with the old Israel no longer exists. The Old Covenant has now been cancelled and put aside and replace with the New Covenant between God and those who are in Christ - so that God no longer sees people as Jew or Gentile any longer, but one in Christ.
Every Christian is a sophomore at some point... Be a little understanding.I gave the definition. Let the OP and others decide if it's applicable.
The use of marital metaphors does not constitute a marriage. "Divorcing" Israel is a metaphor. It doesn't make Christ a bigamist for having the church "the bride of Christ" and doesn't make Christ an adulterer for reuniting with Israel after the divorce. I find the whole notion sophomoric.
It might be.It does seem to be a misunderstanding of the Trinity, doesn't it?
Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.It might be.
The Father did not "dwell" in Christ.
The Word (John 1), who is also God, became true man, with full humanity and full divinity in one Person.
Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.It might be.
The Father did not "dwell" in Christ.
The Word (John 1), who is also God, became true man, with full humanity and full divinity in one Person.
Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.It might be.
The Father did not "dwell" in Christ.
The Word (John 1), who is also God, became true man, with full humanity and full divinity in one Person.
They have swallowed the doctrine hook, line, and sinker!Had fond memories of the fish slappers. lol. good times.

They thought they could scale the spiritual heights, but the doctrine ended up just being a tale.They have swallowed the doctrine hook, line, and sinker!

Revelation 21:9 uses the term, 'the bride the Lamb's wife', to describe the New Jerusalem which is seen in vision by John, coming down out of heaven to the New Earth. The term, 'the bride of Christ', is not found in Scripture.
In Christ Jesus

WHO IS THE LAMB?
