And why do you ask SecondSon?

In my opinion you are one of the most joyless posters here.

You have no joy often in hearing about what the Bible teaches.

Here we see Paul affirming all who believe in Christ will be conformed to the image of the Firstborn Son of God.

"Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers.

and those whom He predestinated,
these He also called;
and those whom He called,
these He also justified;
and those whom He justified,
these He also glorified." (Rom. 8:29,30)

In the eyes of God seated transcendently in eternity above time - IT HAS ALL ALREADY TAKEN PLACE -

Ie. "THESE He also glorified" [past tense] from God's point of view.

Notwithstanding Rajk999's poor understanding of the Bible, nothing here says some of us who will eventually be glorified will not receive some discipline along the way.

Your waffly posts are not what the bible teaches, they about what your cult teaches.

My "waffling" posts (as you whine) teach what the Bible teaches.
And you in particular have been an abject failure to prove it otherwise.

"Now the Lord is the Spirit." (2 Cor. 3:17).

Change it to "Now the Lord is [NOT] the Spirit" in your New Testament.

Change it to whatever it is you want it to say. I'll stick to the text as written.

Along with trampling upon the words of Scripture,
dumbing down the Bible to what fits into your smaller biased unitarian container,
insulting the messengers to take out your ire against the message,
and other hackneyed tricks of the skeptic's trade.

The bride of Christ makes herself ready. She makes HERSELF ready by cooperating with Christ's nourishing and cherishing her washing away her oldness and constituting her to be ready to meet Him.

"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." (Rev. 19:6-7)

In spite of the many failures of the church a critical mass, a remnant of those who overcome form like a Gideon like spearhead. This beach head advance of overcomers will cooperate to make themselves ready for the Redeemer's coming.

This happening in the earth today. We all can participate by being saved and going on in the growth and transformation and building up in His divine life.

"And it was given to her that she shold be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteousnesses [sic] [or righteous deeds] of the saints." (v.8)

[T]he saints are not a special class of Christians. [T]he saints are simply believing Christians. Positionally they have been put in a sanctified position. Dispositionally, to overcome, they must cooperate to receive subjective sanctification.

" . . . for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready" (Rev. 19:7)

This is the time for the overcoming Christians to make themselves ready by turning over their whole being to Christ. This they do for love and to woo the Lover, the Redeeming Lamb, back to the earth.

"And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the RIGHTEOUSNESSES [sic] of the saints."

Here is where Rajk999's constant accusation is totally silenced. The bride makes herself ready by allowing Christ's sanctification to work out through them many RIGHTEOUS DEEDS or "RIGHTEOUSNESSES".

That is not a typo. The PLURAL - RIGHTEOUSNESSES is not the objective justification by faith. The RIGHTEOUSNESSES are the righteous living stemming from the foundation of justification by faith.

This is the place where Rajk999's eyes have been liked plucked out and he cannot see.

The remnant bride prepared to receive the Lord Jesus back do so by preparing themselves through living out the righteousness-ES. These righteous deeds flow spontaneously from their turning their whole lives over to Christ's filling up of their souls.

The bride before the millennium is a remnant. The wife after the millennium is every single human being whom God has saved through Christ.

Then there is the call of invitation to join the celebration at Christ's descent.

"And he said to me, write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage dinner of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God." (v.9)

Must of what you post is lifted from other preachers/teachers from your church.
