I will post a link to it. Christ is the head of the church just as the husband is head of the wife (Ephesians 5:23). As cdacoffee has explained many times, there is nothing we can do to get ourselves ready. It is the Testimony of Christ. The metaphors and similes that the Word of God uses are entry points for the reader to connect with the gospel message. He arrives in 19:11. I think i agree that we are the body of christ.

But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. No i don't believe i only have discernment. The term “bridegroom” is utilized there, as well as concerning the parable of the 10 virgins (Matthew 25:1-13), and concerning Jesus eating with the publicans (Mark 2:19-22, Luke 5:34-35, Matthew 9:15). And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.”, “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”. No one has shown that the Bible anywhere mentions those words "the Bride of Christ" Tell me if the Bible doesn't talk about "the Bride of Christ" why teach it? And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. You explain that this parable is taken out of context, which I believe you are correct. SALVATION ~ 5 ~ Eternal Security ~ Ephesians 2:8, 01. ISRAEL ~ The Symbolism of The Passover Dinner ~ The Seder, 10. Paul here is not saying the church, the body of Christ, is the bride of Christ. In the verses I mention above Jesus was refering to a parable in which he was describs the Kingdom of God. Then there's the "Bride." I am not implying that the Nation of Isreal will have no part in the New Jerusalem. Blessings, peace, and love in the joy and privilege of serving Jesus AND testifying of Him! It's not only the Spirit and the Bride that say come. As the bride of Christ, we need to … Because of the free gift of grace, we are already righteous and without spot nor blemish in the Lord's sight. Lets just say for a minute that smoking is a sin. My questioning began with the Scripture. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

Evangelist Anita Fuentes from California on January 27, 2013: @cdacoffee - my brother you are a breath of Holy Spirit fresh air! (James 1:12; Revelation 2:10), “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”  (1 Peter 5:10), Crown of Righteousness: For the Love of His Appearing. Among them is the Church's calling as the holy, radiant, spotless bride of Christ. The so called bride of Christ doctrine don't apply. It's Grace. This does not mean we will not commit acts of sin, because again the carnal mind (Soul) will alway be in conflict with the spirit part of us. This is what is important.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. Body of Christ is HE - Bride of Christ is she. The Church is not the "bride of Christ" and we cannot get OURSELVES ready as we are ALREADY ready. I believe they do understand grace and have applied it to their lives for salvation.
