WHOS THE NEW BRIDE |
|
Note:
|
RC Thank you for your kind response you obviously put much thought and effort into your posts.
Thanks to Emmaus, for his doctrine, of a Catholic nature, which states in part,
"by doing so they signified that all who eat the one broken bread, Christ, enter into communion with him and form but one body in him."
My humble feelings on this, is we would be shortchanging ourselves by thinking we could be considered less than the body, -which a bride would be, someone else, to be joined at a future time...
By definition would not a bride be apart from the body?
Here is another extraction from Emmaus's post, please pardon the lack of context,
"also provides key insights to help us see the Mass, not as a dead ritual, but as the earthly liturgy reflecting the heavenly liturgy, which comes to culmination in the marriage feast of the Lamb as described by St. John in the book of Revelation."
The scriptural description follows here,
Rev 19:7-9,
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 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.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Here we have a description of the bride, how she appeared; in fine linen, clean and white, clothed in the robes of Christ’s righteousness.
Therefore, the whole collective body of all those who partake of this feast is the bride; The Lamb’s wife, which are those who are called to partake of the eating and drinking into one body and blood, are not mere guests, but blend themselves as one into the betrothed party, the mystical body of Christ.
Call me Berean-istic, but I choose not to interpret God's word according to my pre-conceived notions, or assumptions.
When you say that the Old Covenant was His wife, then the New Covenant is indeed His bride, sorry, I do not follow this if-then logic. No one can choose God's bride except God.
Again, I thank you both for your input. But as for me, I choose to remain in the body of Christ as is claimed by scripture and the bride will be one with the body on the Lord's day. Praise Him.
Your eternal brother,
Tim
