Re: THE CHURCH IS NOT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Paul here is not saying the church, the body of Christ, is the bride of Christ. Paul is using espousal to illustrate the faithfulness and purity of the church unto Christ Jesus.

Doug, Who is speaking here......Paul cannot enspouse anyone to GOD. On the other hand, GOD tells Paul that He is godly Jealous of him because he gave Paul to one Husband because He presented you as a Chaste Virgin to His Son, Jesus Christ

The relationship the church has with Christ is expressed by marriage. Christ is the head of the church just as the husband is head of the wife (Ephesians 5:23)


You have this part right!


Paul is admonishing the church for following other apostles and another gospel (2 Corinthians 11:4).

"For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus..."
2Cor 11:4(a)..

Yes, you are right here too. buit it has nothing to Rem, Jesus Christ as GOD has inspired, given Paul all these words to write....Jesus is speaking to you (us) through the 44 writers of the Bible.


The bride of Christ is a city as seen by Revelation 21:9-10.
[/quote]

NO and YES.....In Rev 19:7-9 with verse 9 telling us the bride are the saints! for they are all dressed in clean white linen (reserved for the saints), yet in Rev 21:9-10 we see the New Jerusalem, the home to the Bride) shining as beautiful as any bride would be...

However, if one looks Rev 21:2 "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

In this apparent contradiction, this verse is telling us the New City of Jerusalem is as beautiful as a New Bride.   The same as being said in verses 9-10 with a twist.

I see no problem as I am going to be as a Bride to Jesus Christ and Live in a New City  called Jerusalem that will be just as beautiful as a brand new Bride.
