The Harlot & The Bride pt. 2
Hello again, today we are discussing the bride.
Prov.8 talks about wisdom and describes it as
a woman. Notice the differance between her and
the harlot. The bible says in harlot.jpgprov. 8 that she stands
in the center of town and calls to everyone.
Unlike the harlot she offers freely what she
has. She never mentions paying sacrifices,
or tries to suduce people with her words.
She simply offers what she has freely.
Sounds like someone doesn’t it. Jesus.
Well thats because the bride is part of the husband.
So she acts like him. Thats how you can tell that
you are in The Church or Institutional Religion.
If it offers a free relationship with Jesus and his
Church. No strings attached. Another word for church should be
brotherhood and sisterhood.
Institutional religion only says it offers this,
but always makes you pay for it in someway.
The way it makes you pay the most is in
rules (the law). You will never pay it though.
But the Bride is always giving , it is her nature.
She is like her husband Jesus.
If you need something she will give it to you.
She doesnt hide in shame or use shame against
you. She says simply come on lets hang out together.
Just like Jesus. Thats the point, she has been around him
so much that she acts just like him. She has fun just
being around him, and she wants others to know
him too. She can’t barely the thought of selling what
and who she knows. He is to wonderful. So she just
gives all she has away. Just like Jesus. ‘Till next time.

Hi Again….More food for thought…..
It is quite interesting to me that the cross our Savior was crucified on was made of wood that was hand hewn by men. It was made of dead wood. It was planted in the ground by men. It had no life in it. It has become a symbol (perhaps an idol) to so many, many….of us. We have even gold plated it and wear it as an ornament of jewelry.
Jesus is the tree of life. He is alive. He is risen above that dead wood.
It seems, that perhaps this could be a picture of the structures that men build to support their carnal faith. Most organized, institutional, religious buildings, (the things they call “churches”, usually have a cross mounted somewhere inside where their congregations can’t miss seeing it. If Jesus would have been killed by a gun maybe that they might have guns, mounted behind their podiums on the wall, instead of a cross, or wear gold plated guns on a neclace around their necks.
I just seems kind of ironic that Jesus was crucified on what seems to be an image of man’s typical, fleshly view of judgement and the law.
After all, we are the church, not buildings made of wood hewn by men, and mounted in the ground by men, like that dead wooden cross.
I prefer to cling to Jesus like you are doing; not the “Old wooden cross” It reminds me too much of clinging to the “Old wooden church building” or even an upgraded, gold plated version of a church building.
Great article you have posted here.
Have a great day in Jesus
