The Bride of Christ – Is Not the Church, Solely

01/11/2013 · by Brent L Bolin · in ARTICLES & POSTS, BRENT'S - Biblical Doctrine, BRENT'S - Biblical Eschatology · 6 Comments

Introduction For many years it has been commonly taught that the “Bride of Christ” is synonymous with the “Body of Christ,” which is the church (1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 4:12), and therefore the two references refer to the same thing. We should remember Christ’s Words: “You make void the word of God by your traditions […]

A Prophecy of the Exact Day The Messiah Would Arrive ~ Synopsis (Notable Work) A chart which displays the dates and fulfillments regarding this prophecy concerning the exact day that Jesus would present himself as the Messiah.
A Prophecy of the Exact Day The Messiah Would Arrive ~ The Details (Notable Work) A number based prophecy detailing the exact day that the Messiah would present Himself to Israel as Jesus of Nazareth.
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Notable Original Work) Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is much different than most people have been taught. Blasphemy is to knowingly lie about another, it is not accidental. It is a deliberate act of the will, that does not fear God, and is not afraid they committed it.
Does James Contradict Paul Regarding Faith One of the main texts that have been used to assert that works are necessarily a part of faith is taken from James 2:21, which would appear to indicate that Abraham was saved not by faith alone, but when works were added, but this is false.
Eternal Life vs. Eternal Security – Salvation – 2 Peter 1:10 (NOTABLE WORK) Belief is the first thing that occurs in salvation, but it must lead onto faith, it must go beyond a thought process onto a conviction which is so deep that it affects the worldview of the person and therefore changes their actions & therefore thier l
Eternal life ~ Jesus' Definition of Salvation Most New Testament passages that define salvation as eternal life. Many believe that salvation is separation from sin, though this is a consequence of salvation, it is not the definition of salvation according to Jesus, who said salvation is eternal life.
Eternal Security – It's Proof ~ Ephesians 2:8 (Notable Work) A thorough examination of salvation through grace by faith alone and the security of the believer as a child of God, born into God’s family not to be aborted, whose eternity is secured because of God’s ability to keep those that are His.
Eternal Security – Its About God (Notable Work) The reason that Eternal Security is so important is because it’s about God – His integrity and ability, rather than the man that is saved. Can God give us to Jesus and can Jesus keep us. Salvation is not about joining, it’s about becoming!
Eternal Security – Work Out Your Own Salvation (Notable Work) It does not mean what you think, we do not work for our own salvation, we work out our salvation the way a student works out a problem the teacher already completed on the blackboard.
Faith ~ Defined (Notable Work) This exhaustive article deals with faith in regards many facets such as: attitudes, applications, definition and descriptions, false prophets in the faith movement, Jesus example of faith and spiritual leadership and much more.
Faith ~ The ABC’s ~ “Action based upon Belief, sustained by Confidence” (Notable Work) This is an examination of faith. Belief and faith are not the same. Belief is a mental process, wherein faith is an action that it produces. Faith is always based on a track record, it is earned; this is why faith is to be based upon God’s Word.
Heart and the Mind ~ What the Biblical word “Heart’ Means (Notable Work) In both the Hebrew and Greek languages the word “heart” does not refer solely to the emotions, but to the total inward man; primarily the mind, emotions, and the will.
Hebrew 6:4-6 Does Not Teach That A Believer Can Lose Their Salvation (Notable Work)
Jesus ~ The Ultimate Example of Faith (Notable Original Work) Jesus was the greatest example of faith, pleasing the Father in everything He did, trusting in the Father to the other most, committing His human life to God in obedient faith; fulfilling more than any man; what He demanded of His followers – faith.
Judging ~ Church Discipline ~ Forgiveness & Turning the Cheek (Notable Work)
Judgment Mandated for the Christian Walk (Notable Work) It is common to hear Christians say “thou shall not judge”, and while this is true concerning condemnation which is God’s realm only, it is false and has been one of the main factors that has led to sin within the church, and it’s Ineffectiveness.
Salvation – What is It & How To Obtain It (Notable Work) A thorough examination of salvation through grace by faith alone and the security of the believer.
The Incarnation of Christ ~ God's Essence & Attributes (Notable Work) Christ was the greatest example of faith, faith necessitates need ~ How could Christ being fully God and fully man still have needs?
The Problem of Using Strong’s Concordance Dictionary One thing that many believers do concerning the handling of Greek words is use Strong’s Concordance’s Dictionary to translate Greek words – this is not only a fundamental error, but can lead to devastating conclusions. IT IS ONLY A ROOT DICTIONARY!
What Is Christianity? The word Christianity is the word Christian plus the suffix “ity” means: “condition or quality of being, the state of.” Simply put Christianity means the state of following Christ, or as Jesus refers to it the condition of being born again (John
Who & What to Trust Encyclopedia (Notable Work) CAUTION – This will automatically download a .word document when you click on the link. This is the only way I could present this encyclopedia regarding Bible translation & Bible history & dates , Textual Criticism, and Spiritual leaders & m
Why the 4 Gospels are Meant to be Different (Notable Work) The Gospels are four different perspectives concerning Christ’s diverse roles in His First Coming.

0 ~ JESUS ~ The Ultimate Example of Faith (Notable Original Work) Christ was the greatest example of faith, faith necessitates need ~ How could Christ being fully God and fully man still have needs?
1 ~ JESUS ~ Our City of Refuge John 5:39 says: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” Jesus is found throughout the OT, even in the symbols that God set up such as The Cities of Refuge.
1 ~ JESUS ~ The Kinsman-Redeemer ~ Part 1 ~ A Brief Introduction Understanding how God set up the role of the Kinsman-Redeemer as a prophecy concerning the coming Messiah, presenting why Jesus had to become a man to redeem mankind, because the curse came by man, man had to pay the price of sin.
2 ~ A Prophecy of the Exact Day The Messiah Would Arrive ~ The Details (Notable Work) A number based prophecy detailing the exact day that the Messiah would present Himself to Israel as Jesus of Nazareth.
2 ~ A Prophecy Regarding the Rapture and the Second Coming An examination of the doctrine of the Rapture wherein Scriptures which are specific to the Rapture are compared with Scriptures of the Second Coming which are opposite in nature, proving there are two separate events.
3 ~ Figures of Speech ~ Part 1 ~ A Brief Introduction Figures of Speech are used in every culture. They are words used in an unusual manner which indicate they are not speaking about something literal, but hold a meaning that is implied, such as “get off my back,” or calling Jesus “the Lamb of God.”
3 ~ Figures of Speech ~ Part 2 ~ A Few Examples This is part two of the previous article on figures of speech, giving greater details And explanations from the Bible, as well as examples.
5 ~ SALVATION ~ Work Out Your Own Salvation ~ What it Really Means This passage does not say work for your salvation. It is instructive in nature, and would be synonymous with a teacher having worked out a mathematical equation, telling the student to work out how he came to that conclusion, hence how Christ redeemed us
6 ~ Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit The Greek word from which we get the English word blasphemy means to knowingly slander, which is to intentionally lie about something, with no desire to correct the lie. This is one of the reasons why a person cannot unknowingly commit this sin.
7 ~ An Amazing Old Testament Prophecy ~ Genesis Five Genesis 5 is a genealogy of the first 10 generations of man, and as noted by Chuck Missler when you define the root meaning of the names it literally presents the gospel of Jesus Christ in an un-deniable way.
8 ~ DISCERNMENT ~ Christians, Our Churches, and Bad Choices; Why? Based on Hebrews 5:12, we examine the Specific reasons of why discernment has decreased among the church and Christians, and what needs to be done to correct this based upon God’s word.
8 ~ DISCERNMENT ~ How to Love God's Way ~ The Practical Way that All Believers Can Love A Practical Guide that All Believers Can Do to Love Others
8 ~ DISCERNMENT ~ Pride ~ Part 1 ~ Its Not as Simple as You May Think What pride really looks like, and how it functions.
8 ~ DISCERNMENT ~ Pride ~ Part 2 ~ A Pragmatic Tool ~ Meekness A word study on the word meek, as use concerning Jesus and Moses.
8 ~ DISCERNMENT ~ Psychology ~ Why has it Gained its Credibility, It’s History in a Nutshell, When Mixed with Christianity
9 ~ SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT SERIES ~ 1 ~ Ray Comfort ~ Hell’s Best Kept Secret
What Is Christianity? The word Christianity is the word Christian plus the suffix “ity” means: “condition or quality of being, the state of.” Simply put Christianity means the state of following Christ, or as Jesus refers to it the condition of being born again (John
