Yes, I get what you’re saying, but you have to read things in context. And yes, in some verses, not this passage, it describes the Bride as the church. Just not this passage.
It’s just talking about the virtuous wife.
What I have heard sooooo many times is how the Virtuous wife , who can find is the question.
And Like many I fell into that carnal trap, that it has to be about a 'woman of flesh' But in growing my Spirit, the no flesh cann not enter into heaven just stops that carnal thought in it's tracks....
So the virtuous wife has to be something other than flesh and blood.
It wasn't until a heard a carnal sermon from the pulpit of man's religions, how mankind is to become in Spirit the Bride of Jesus the Christ.
Then by the Grace of God, teaching me in Spirit, that all who become "Christian of Faith" are to become this virtuous wife of Christ.
Males who are Faithful believers accept this Truth as well as faithful females, who receive this Truth in Spirit.
Their Spirit is united in ONE body and one Spirit of God, although MANY they are ONE, and they sit as Revelation states :
Revelation 14:14
And I looked and saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was One like the Son of Man, with a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.
It is not the original Jesus but those who are Christ like in Spirit, seated and ready to harvest those who are yearning for the manifestation of the Sons of God from the world of carnal flesh.
Now that makes Spiritual Truth. FEMALES who are Christian in Faith follow the footsteps er.... the foundation laid by Jesus, this path leads directly to the Father. It is a narrow path because it just needs to be the width of each following in Spirit.
There is nothing that stops FEMALES from knowing this TRUTH that FEMALES are indeed to also become the Bride of Jesus in Spirit.
I abhor the fact that many, many idiots use this and a few other passages to make females submissive to their carnal created MANURE!!!!
When the Word states for WOMAN to be quite is so that the Spirit of Jesus, that is TEACHING is heard and uninterrupted in prayer or mediation , where most of the talking to God in Spirit exist.
That woman is an outward expression from BOTH MALE and FEMALE Christina of faith in Spirit.
It is no wonder that the carnal minded stoop so low too try and vanquish this TRUTH given so freely.
In their ignorant vain attempts without shame, will try to constraint Females with their own mis-intrepretations whenever and where ever they can.
