The present churches are apostate. The Scriptures tells us that true believers will be invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Micah 4: 1-2; Isa 2, they are members of the body and not the Bride Eph 5: 30. The Bride, the Lamb's wife made herself ready. Rev 19: 7; 21: 9. Rev 12. She is the true Church, Body, New Jerusalem & one woman who shall be mother of all born again. Gal 4: 26. She is the Church of Philadelphia Rev 3:7-13, the daughter of Zion & God dwells in her Zechariah 2: 10.
@abideandwait thanks for dropping by. Yes, there is the visible (professing as well as true believers) and invisible (bride) church. Not all the bride is walking perfectly. There are some that need a "wake up call". The real bride will heed Scripture, turn around and walk in holiness
Thanks. At least I am glad to see someone who understands the truth. It grieves my heart to see grown men and women claim to be the bride of Christ and hop into the Lord's bed when Scriptures clearly tells us the Lamb of God has one Bride/Body & Wife who is Jerusalem or Zion, the true Church (Revelation 21: 9 & Song of Solomon). They are no longer satisfied with being children or members of the body according to Scriptures (Ephesians 5: 30), they just wanna be his wives..
The church is NOT the bride of Christ. Read Revelation 21:9-10 to learn of the bride, the Lambs wife.
Regarding unity, Jesus prayed, Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.... that they all may be one... The only reason for division is that Christians do not believe Gods Word. Oneness only comes through sanctification in Gods Word.
With all respect I believe the Bride is God's people of all generations. The City is simply where they dwell. God is not concerned about the gold and precious jewels that the city is made of but the people that dwell there. Blessings in Christ!!
I loved the line, "The Bride of Christ is a little schizophrenic" XD But your statement is true: we should be acting as one body and we keep drawing lines and dividing ourselves and fight with ourselves. Thanks for sharing.
I just found your channel this morning. God bless you and give you His words to speak. You are a great encouragement to me. Thanks for being a reasoned, scriptural voice in these trying days.
omg i love the guy running around hitting himself. will never forget that one when i think of the divisions in the church. It puts it in such plain perspective though.
you speak the truth!!
there is scripture by paul that even says, I do not pray for this world, but for the body.
AMEN!!! A house divided cannot stand! satan is using fellow Christians to drive a wedge between us.
Jesus said by your love for each other all will know you are my disciples. We need to stand together, and to those who only wish to fight cut them loose.
Praise God for the great message. As one who has had horrific insults thrown at them, I can say that I acknowledge God's sovereignty through it all. Not necessarily that it was His desire for me, but that the painful events were used to strengthen my resolve in Christ. I share this to ease your burden, your pain. Truly the persecuted are blessed and great is their reward in heaven. And so we cyr out, "God's Kingdom come. God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven!" Bless you richly.
Wisdom, tact, and love are all in this message to us brothers and sisters in Christ. There are no two people on this earth that agree about everything yet we do see so much antagonism within the church. The body cannot flow in the gifts, callings, and purposes of Christ the way the Lord desires until we begin to make unity and love of the bretheren a priority! Well done, Sister!!
This is my first text response to BondServant40. You're doing a terrific job. I love listening to your videos. They're really good. I'm just wondering though...why there are more people watching atheist videos like "gogreen18" and not yours? Talk about the many taking the wide road to destruction!
Well said, I guess it's nothing new however, it was happening in the New Testament church. I used to be in ministry, and the people used to just talk about eachother & me...lol. I was pretty happy to get away from them :) You have always had a sweet spirit about you bondservant, that is why I suscribed to your channel. I wish more christians would learn this lesson.
My beloved sister in Christ! Thank you for Galatians 5:14 &15! For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another! vc25 How appropriate my dear sister to bring this scripture to light! Praise Jesus! Thanks again, and God bless you!5*'s, favorited, shared!

Amen Sis!
Hebrews 3:12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

Amen. there is alot of confussion going on.
They want to build up man instead of God.
We have to be humble to the Master.
Some will believe, some will deny.
God Bless you, I love U in Christ.
