Bible Question:
Why this text tell us about 10 virgins? Why not only one? Does it means that in the time of Jesus was allowed to marrie up to ten girls or more? This is an extrange analogy. Austin |
Bible Answer: Has anyone thought of the simple answer that a bridesmaid is not a bride. That is why she is called a bridesmaid and not a bride. She is a friend of the bride. Individually we are all bridesmaids, wise or foolish. The Church collectively, which includes the wise bridesmaids, is the Bride. Emmaus |
