• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

As a new christian ,I don't know that much of the bible,BUT I am reading it and my knowledge of it is increasing.I have one question though,Who or What is The Bride of Christ?:scratch:

The "Bride of Christ" is the Church Universal--Christ's Body made up of all justified and sanctified believers.

Christ is the "Bridegroom", the Church is His Bride.

It's Jesus' Church. Check out Eph 5:22-33 for the illustration put into action by the Apostle Paul.

Interestingly, Jesus' example for the church is to be the husband's pattern of giving for his wife.

yep it's the Church. i'm glad you are asking questions and are learning. pretty soon, God will give you direct answers as you learn to hear His voice more clearly. keep pursuing Him, and always depend on His Word as the final truth and the final authority in all things. that is your ultimate source of revelation and insight. every answer and response that you get from man, you MUST weigh it against the Word. that is your measuring rod. and always pray and ask the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you into all truth.

Be blessed!
