He did say it, in so many words, your just too invested in traditional “church” dogma to figure it out. When His words are taken in total context, that is exactly what He is saying. The Thing that is commonly referred to as the Church, today, is not the Bride of Christ, and is but a corrupt counterfeit. But you go ahead and keep believing in it.
So what He said, which you know He said, but can’t find,
doesn’t mean what He said, because of the context which you ignored,
to an audience of Jews not Christians, was really about His true church,
because despite His specific words the Holy Spirit inspired, And His specific non-Christian audience, only you understand the hidden meanings... and it’s my fault I believe His specific words.
OK then!
