We the Bride the Church are......incidental. Oooops. Then we are outta here.
Oh yea, there are many "Christians" that are outraged and insulted by this fact.
Sorry fake sorry!
I will go with scripture, you can go with the false Scofield New Reference Bible, you are in grave error.
the Church was never an afterthought or incidental.
In fact you are demonstrating now, that at the core you are a free will denier, something you so ardently defended in the past.
Your soteriology and eschatology are in contradiction >>>cognitive dissonance.
There was never a Plan B and many, many of the initial converts were the Jews.
Something which dipseys like to sweep under the rug.
Ephesians 3
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.
8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ,
9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
11
according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
and
Ephesians 2
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household,
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
21
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
