^ ( @BOY 's Post #19 )CONSIDER what the following passage informs... :
Rom 9:1
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
Rom 9:2
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Rom 9:3
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Rom 9:4
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Rom 9:5
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
[whereas, regarding "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" (that's us) - Eph1:20-23 "WHEN [as to its existence]"--ponder this passage]
"The Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" did NOT give birth to Jesus! (We are NOT "the woman" in the CONTEXT of "Rev12 / Mic5:3"... no.)
Let me ask you this. WHO is the text speaking of where Micah 5:3 says, "Therefore WILL HE GIVE THEM UP, UNTIL..."
(no need to respond right away... Give it much thought... like, perhaps MONTHS!)
