Dear Andre
The Bride of Christ symbolises purity and virginity like it is expected of a bride to be married who kept herself pure – all this in the Bible refers to spiritual purity (not fornicating with the world and being adulterous, meaning having many gods). We as believers in JC are likened unto a Bride and thus called the Bride of Christ. No, the Bible tells of many wonderful women-read the Bible Andre.

Does the way the Bible symbolises the church (very often as a woman) mean that all women are evil? Are all men now women because the church is the bride of Christ? ROTFL.

…” He has spoken through Jesus Christ and that in Christ we have the full and final revelation of God’s message to man…”

And no wonder “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” (Col 2:9).

“The Revelation OF JESUS CHRIST..” (Rev.1:1).

“For I testify together to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone ADDS to these things (the final Revelation of Jesus Christ), God will add on him the plagues that have been written in this Book. And if anyone TAKES AWAY from the Words of the Book of this prophecy (the final Revelation of Jesus Christ), God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.” (Rev 22:18-19 MKJV)

Eve is a type of the church. Eve added to the Word of God: ..”neither shall you touch it..” (Gen.3:3). Then she took away from the Word of God by downplaying it, changing its meaning: “… lest you die..”

Satan pretended to be a believer in God’s Word, coming to someone “more informed” to inquire about God’s Word. Mankind has always liked being considered to be really informed about the Word of God before “other less-informed believers” by adding to it, but they show themselves up as being not true believers when they downplay God’s warnings which come to us through His Word:

“And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.” (Mat 24:11 MKJV).

JESUS said that TO US in the context of speaking about the events immediately preceding his return, which are linked to a great tribulation of His church.

We should all take note and stop downplaying it, because the only three times in the New Testament that the Greek word “MEGAS” (great) accompanies the word “thlipsis” are (1) in Mat.24:21-22 (Matthew’s version of the Olivet Discourse), then (2) when Jesus rebukes the Thyatira church FOR FOLLOWING THE FALSE PROPHETESS JEZEBEL and her doctrine, and states that unless the church repents JESUS HIMSELF WILL THROW THEM INTO “MEGAS THLIPSIS” (GREAT tribulation) (Rev.2: 18-23), and lastly (3) when John saw the multitude of all nations which had come out FROM “MEGAS THLIPSIS” and were now standing in heaven in white robes (Rev.7:13-17).

EDITED by DTW:

ROTFL – So all woman are evil? Or just me? What a joke.

Nice article…I was doing a bit of reading the other day on wikipedia to place the timeline of the gospels within each other, and I discovered the other non canonical gospel of Thomas which is obviously false cos it has New Age and Gnosticism in it! couldnt believe what I saw in there. Am glad it was rejected as scripture. Someone wrote that is was forged in Thomas’ name so it had to be a Pagan who wrote it!
