There's no doubt that Jesus was a man who exercised his humanity. But he was just as much God, free of sin and perfect in every way. As a result, he would not have taken another bride beside his church, the bride that scripture says is his.

It truly would be all wisdom to trust that Jesus would seek his Father's will and be true to his divine in rejecting any other bride but the one that his Father has provided for him. I am not the one calling him a "lecherous
two-timing cheater." Those who claim that he would take a second bride are saying that.

What difference does it our salvation? If Jesus would be unfaithful to his true bride, he is not the Lamb of God, the perfect attoning sacrifice for all of our sins. If he married Mary, then he offers no salvation.

So, it makes all the difference in the world. This is totally like the Enemy, who offers little lies that seem so harmless and innocent. After all, why can't we consider that Jesus would marry? It sounds so reasonable. So understandable.

Of course, it's actually the difference between Heaven and Hell.

I have a publication that has ONLY the words of Jesus that are in the Bible - try as I might, I cannot find where He says He married the church or that the church is His bride and therefore, He could not marry a flesh and blood woman, as Jewish Law required...particularly for a rabbi.

Surely, if the church were to be His bride...he would have told us, unequivocally, in His own words - there would be no room ambiguity about it
