I dont think this is the same Israel that God has reserved as the remnant, the Bride He so often speaks of. ( the church is His bride, but in much scripture He calls Israel His bride and more).
Not trying to be contentious but I always thought the church was the body of Christ and Israel was His bride. The 7th mystery revealed by Paul speaks of the body of Christ.
Ephesians is using a marriage as comparison in that two become one flesh the context is about the body of Christ.
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.
Ephesians 5:28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are members of His body.
Ephesians 5:32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.
Romans 12:4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
1 Corinthians 12:20 But now there are many members, but one body.
1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.
Colossians 1:18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
I thought all references to the Bride were spoken to Israel as the audience not gentiles.
I am coming more from a place of curiosity than trying to prove I’m right. It would be nice to understand the difference better but ultimately has little to do with salvation.
Yes, just as the thief on the cross but my question had nothing to do with being saved by faith. Perhaps “I dunno” would have been more appropriate. Thanks anyways. Carry on brother.
The Zionists follow the god of the Old Testament. The Gnostics believe that one is Yaldabaoth, a spiritual creature who can't see beyond the veil and is jealous and vindictive because of it, and is why Jesus and other enlightened souls like Buddha were sent to us. So we could transcend the madness of a lesser god in order to reach our true potential as a spiritual entity trapped in a flesh sack.
I believe this is why certain sub-sects of humanity push to destroy as much of the human spirit as is possible. This is also why I don't fully trust Trump or any other Western leader, for that matter. What I see happening throughout the world actually worries me because just about every leader is a Zionist at heart, and therefore are collectively working toward the destruction of humanity for beliefs that are counterintuitive to the human-spiritual experience.
Surprising how many Christians are on this track. Can't say I've challenged them, but I stopped going to church. Other than my dad, but he got out of that hole a long time ago.
Seems to me that the Palestinians had no qualms about killing innocent women and children on Oct.7, 23. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been going on for over a century with no resolution. What I want to know is why no other Arab Nation wants to give the Palestinians refuge? Trump would make sure they were not pursued. There has got to be a very good reason.
Thank you for your reply and for welcoming me, Ashlanddog. I am not taking sides on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Personally, I think both governments are corrupt, and given the fact that nothing else has worked to bring peace to that region, let them duke it out to exhaustion. It's been going on for far too long.

These are from that "other " synagogue.
Modern day Israel is just a costume worn by eastern Europeans who aren't related to the twelve tribes. It is absolutely the Synagogue of Satan.
" the church is His bride"
...you have a firm grasp of the situational reality...

" It would be nice to understand"
Faith, in Jesus + nothing = salvation.

" because just about every leader is a Zionist at heart"
...absolute ironclad truth...

Good luck sharing this with your christian family members. You may be disinvited to any future get-togethers.
" christian family members."
...genuine followers of The Way study and have a firm knowledge of the Word Of God...
Agreed but they've suffered a lifetime of propaganda from their church. It's an uphill battle.
" It's an uphill battle."

King James Version
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

"Seems to me that the Palestinians had no qualms about killing innocent women and children on Oct.7,"
...if that is the case, I wonder why all of the video of the incident suddenly "disappeared"...
...inconvenient documentation belies false flags...
