SOME MAY SAY THIS IS SCANDALOUS!

SOME MAY SAY THIS IS SCANDALOUS!

So, I deejayed a wedding over the weekend and the following passage is a popular one that's read. My Jedi senses went off when the pastor read v23 "...the church, his body, and is himself its Savior," and v25 "...Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her..v27 present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

Ephesians 5:22-27
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself ITS SAVIOR. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR HER, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might PRESENT THE CHURCH TO HIMSELF IN SPLENDOR, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

If one is a preterist, covenant creationist, and Israel Mostly, then one believes these events were fulfilled by 70AD. The word church/ Ekklesia is defined as called out ones, assembly or congregation of believers. So, what was this assembly or congregation being called out from? They were THE ELECT REMNANT OF ISRAEL being called out from the Old Covenant system of law, sacrifices, priesthood... Which means those in the OC were being brought into the NC via the Gospel. They were being brought from the covenant of death to the covenant of life; resurrected. Christ came to save the elect remnant of OC Israel. Notice how Christ gave Himself up for the bride, which means if one is not His bride, Christ did not die for that person.

"And now for something PROVOCATIVELY SCANDALOUS:
I DO NOT BELIEVE CHRIST DIED FOR MY SINS." - Tuese Ahkiong

Acts 5:31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
***Savior, to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to WHO?

Acts 13:23 Of this man's offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.
***God brought a Savior, Jesus as He promised to WHO?

So, what does this mean? It means CHRIST DIED ONLY FOR THE SINS OF THE ELECT REMNANT OF ISRAEL, THE CALLED OUT ONES, HIS BRIDE. It also means WE ARE NOT THE CHURCH. The Church or Called Out ones were PRESENTED to Christ at His Wedding in 70AD. The church has left THE FLAT EARTH.

SO, WHO ARE WE WHO BELIEVE and FOLLOW YESHUA THESE LAST 2 MILLENNIA???

WE ARE THE....????

stay tuned because the rabbit hole goes deeper!
