You’re living under a cabbage!
Read the last chapter of Hosea; he remarried her after he died for her.
.
Here it is. Enlighten me.
“1 O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. 3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. 4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. 5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. 6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. 7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. 8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found. 9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.” (Hos 14:1-9 KJV)

>>>Read the last chapter of Hosea<<<
I posted Hosea chapter 14 in post #144. Are you going to enlighten us, or what?
>>>he remarried her after he died for her.<<<
So, he didn’t marry the Church?
“Yeshua” fellows do have odd notions.
Talk about amusement, look at the bizarre stuff the Roodies believe, and I am only quoting from this thread:
1. Babylon is the Biblical name of Satan’s global system, that he has nurtured since Cain was cast out to the wilderness. #25
Comments: invented out of thin air
2. No, [Babylon the Great] is more than that. It is Satan’s web of control of all Earthly endeavor, secular, and ecclesiastical. #28
Comments: invented out of thin air
3. Considering that Peter specifically calls out the Hebrew settlements of the area that was then known as Babylon as the intended recipients of the epistle, I suspect that was where he was when he wrote it. #29
Comments: there is no evidence for this from biblical verses, historical references, visions from God, …, none. Well, one of the Roodies may have had a vision from "God".
4. The description of Babylon in The Revelation is easily recognized as the Vatican, and the British royal family. #30
Comments: that is cabbage-head material.
5. It definitely is a real queen. [Babylon the Great] #36
Comments: not in the King James Version, nor in the American Standard, Darby Bible, DRA 1899, English Standard, Holman, New American, New International, Revised Standard, New World Translation, Orthodox Jewish Bible, World English, nor Young's Literal Translation. What kind of bible do the Roodies use?
6. Rome slaughtered ALL of the apostles. #37
Comments: This is just too easy to prove as silly. He must have mistyped or misstated this one. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
7. If you look up the word used for “strangers” in the Greek text, you will see that he was speaking to his Hebrew cousins is the area below the Black sea. #40
Comments: Jews from some of those cities were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. There is no evidence Peter travelled anywhere beyond Antioch.
8. “Marcus” was John Mark, the author of the second gospel. #85
Comments: There is no evidence that is Peter's son, nor that Peter's son wrote the Gospel.
9. Peter was known to have traveled extensively in the area known as Babylon to the people of Jerusalem. #85
Comments: Same answer as 7. There is no evidence of this.
Overall Comment: I gotta get me one of those Roodie Bibles. They must be a laugh a minute.
