721 | Bride - Church or New Jerusalem? | Is 61:10 | skccab | 185872 | ||
Hi all I have so enjoyed reading everyone's questions, answers and comments. I'm gonna take the home page up on it's offer and ask a question. It's one that I stood firmly on before, back in the 70's but now I'm not so sure, so here goes. Why does everyone call the church the Bride of Christ, when in Rev. 21:2 John sees "the holy city, New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared AS a bride adorned for her husband"; then in v.9 the angel told John he would show him the bride, the Lamb's wife, in v. 10 John sees New Jerusalem again. The first instance New Jerusalem is "as" a bride, in v.10 it is New Jerusalem that the angel calls the bride, and goes on the describe the city. I was taught (way back in the 70's and 80's that we identify ourselves (that is, the church) as a chaste bride awaiting her husband, and I know the saints will inhabit New Jerusalem, but isn't that a literal city? I stood firm on this a long time ago, that the bride is New Jerusalem and not the church (for the Bible says that we are the body of Christ, and He is the Head of the church so how could the church be a bride which is female and Christ is quite obviously male?). I'm not trying to start a heated debate, really, I'm not. I actually am wavering here, in this area, because no one seems to think this way now. I'm just wondering why. cheri |

722 | Bride - Church or New Jerusalem? | Is 61:10 | skccab | 185878 | ||
OK, thanks. So it is probably just a matter of semantics. As I noted in v9 The bride Is The city of New Jerusalem. It is as before, just an identification. As a single parent may sometimes be identified as the missing parent to suit a given situation, he/she is never seen as actually that parent. OK - getting stonger back in the old view. It's just that everyone now seems so comfortable calling themselves "the bride" rather than "as a bride." But personally, I am much more comfortable calling myself and brothers/sisters in the Lord as "the body of Christ" - a term that actually links the two. Christ and the bride have to be two distinct entities. Alright. This works. Thanks for listening to me and helping me work thru what was trying to become a confusion. Cheri |

Fellowlaborer Thank you for your thoughts. I'm just getting off midnight shift so my brain is not so swift. I orginally didn't have a scripture reference when I posed the question (I'm not sure how it got there, I'm very new to this and all forums and their mysteries!), I was just wondering mainly about the part of Rev. 21 where there is no question about who/what "the bride, the lamb's wife" is. I will ponder what you wrote prayerfully, and follow your references tonight at work. Thank you for them. And isn't this place such a blessing? So many new family members to get to know. Blessings Cheri |

724 | Trouble with Pronouns | Is 63:11 | skccab | 212927 | ||
Shalom y'all, I've been reading Isaiah and am at 63:11. I use the NKJV which capitalizes all pronouns referring to God. All the previous verses have the 'he' capitalized, then verse 11 says "Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, "Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock?..." My question: is the 'he' who remembered mistakenly left lowercase? It sounds like it is speaking of He, God? Any help? Thanking you in advance Cheri |

Doc, Thanks, didn't think to do that. In the suggested versions it reads "His people remembered..." so it would be safe to conclude that it is in lowercase by error and is indeed referring to God - "Then He remembered..."? Cheri |

Keliy, Thank you so much for the research!! I really like the NKJV. I have the CJB that I use when checking out OT verses, but had misplaced it (have found it since) and it agrees with your understanding (it uses, I think, the JPS version of the Hebrew Scriptures). That verse just stopped me in my tracks. That happens sometimes :o) BTW, good work on the John the Baptist response! Cheri |

728 | Saved or not ? | Jer 17:9 | skccab | 189033 | ||
Hank, I know this has been gone over before, but not to the point of answering my question. You stated: "God has not made it His business to make any man privy to whether another man is saved or lost. It's the same with who's elect and who is not elect" You make it sound like one can be saved but not elect. How is this possible? What is the difference? I always thought that if you are saved then you are elect. Did I misunderstand you? blessings cheri |

731 | Careful Bible Study -- Not Mysticism | Jer 23:16 | skccab | 206931 | ||
Dear Quvmoh It was 2 little words that got you into trouble. So What? 'So what is this saying to you, to me'...would have taken the rudeness out of the question; would have been a bonefide question. 'So What?' is something asked by an insolent disobedient disrespectful child. (And I'm sure that child would have faced severe rebuke from his/her parents!) That is why everyone is so upset. Doc did not deserve that response from you or anyone else. Cheri |

732 | Where is passage "I know the plans I hav | Jer 29:11 | skccab | 194486 | ||
Shabbat Shalom Rolland, God bless you for your request. This is going to be fun! Let's start with my very all-time favorite: Phil. 4:4-7 4) Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! 5) Let your gentle spirit be known to all men The Lord is near. 6) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7) And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah Yeshua. Shalom Cheri |

733 | Where is passage "I know the plans I hav | Jer 29:11 | skccab | 194586 | ||
Shalom Rolland, I thought I would be able to get back to you at the time with a few more, but was at work and got unexpectedly busier than normal. Here's another one: Romans 8:37-39 37) But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38) For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39) nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of Adonai, which is in Messiah Yeshua, our Lord. Cheri |

734 | Where is passage "I know the plans I hav | Jer 29:11 | skccab | 194587 | ||
Rolland, but let us not forget dear John! 1 John 2:27-3:3 27) As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaces you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. 28) Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 29) If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him. 1) See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2) Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. 3) And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. Shalom Cheri |

735 | New covnant w/ Isrl or proph on Christ? | Jer 31:22 | skccab | 196796 | ||
Shalom sister Azure, Are you asking what/where the new covenant can be found? That would be Jer. 31:31, or could you elaborate a little more on what you're looking to find? :-) Cheri |

Shalom sister Azure, I haven't read the complete thread so I may be just repeating someone else, or I may not have your question understood completely. But I think one of your questions was about the word "compass"ing a woman from Jer. 31:22. I don't know if this will help or not but I use the Complete Jewish Bible which uses the Jewish English translation of the Old Testament, so here is how it reads from that version: Jer. 31:21 Set up road signs, erect guideposts, pay attention the to highway, the path on which you traveled. Come back, virgin Isra'el, come back to these cities of yours! Jer. 31:22 How long will you hesitate you unruly daughter? For Adonai has created something new on earth: a woman with the strengths of a man. Jer. 31:23 Here is what Adonai Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: "This expression will be used again in the land of Y'hudah and its cities after I have returned their exiles: 'May Adonai bless you, home of justice, holy mountain!' Sounds like Zion is being spoken about. If I got lost in the thought of the thread, just ignore me :-) Cheri |

738 | verse on sabbatical year | Jer 34:8 | skccab | 197452 | ||
Hey Azure, Let me try again, didn't notice the first time that you were already in ch. 34. :-) The only other reference I have found in Jer. (at least up to ch. 48) about the Sabbatical year is in 29:10, would that be connected? Cheri |
||||||
739 | verse on sabbatical year | Jer 34:8 | skccab | 197457 | ||
Good day to you, Azure, I didn't think 29:10 was going to be the verse, but it was the only one I could think of besides the ones in chapter 34. That would be interesting to know. Maybe one of the others more knowledgeable can help :-)? Cheri |

Shalom sayamen, Ezekiel, you can read about it in Ezek. chapter 4. He also did 90 days on his side for Judah's iniquity. Cheri |
