***Actually, what bothers me the most about dispensationalists is that that they have turned the gospel into multiple wives for God.***

If Israel is the adulterous wife of God (Hosea), how can she be a a FUTURE spotless bride awaiting her Groom (Ephesians 5)?

I have never considered it from your viewpoint..I have always looked at myself as both (a bit simplistic I know) But I was the filthy adultress before He selected me and made me clean and new and a suitable bride..

If anyman be in Christ He is a new creation...

If Woody was formerly an enemy of God, filthy and dirty, how can I be part of a spotless Bride awaiting her Groom?
