We really have such a small view of who we really are in Christ - Lord, open our eyes!!!

May I ask why you are quoting me?

Is it in agreement or disagreement?

Umm from you approving what I wrote I conclude it is in agreement,

If so Praise God! 'cause I'm getting tired lol.

So whats your point? 

Same as yours, that meaning is derived from more than what is directly spoken in the Bible.

We did exercises at Bible College with various passages to find meanings communicated by these methods:

# directly spoken

# implied

# symbolised

Also a daily cause for high hopes is who Christ is in ALL CREATION.

Anyone?

@Rosie1jack2pauline3 According to GotQuestions ... their content has all rights reserved.  I'm not sure if you can copy and paste their content.

I perused the gotquestions website regarding citations of their published material, which can be found at gotquestions.org/citations.html. I wasn't satisfied with the information on that page since it's geared for the academic citation of their articles (obviously for essays and such).

I decided to pursue contacting the ministry --- gotquestions.org/contact.html --- but that wasn't needed; there is a link on that page to their copyright policy. Taking a look at that --- gotquestions.org/about.html#Copyright --- so long as gotquestions.org is cited and given credit for the material, they've given permission to use their material anywhere. 

Naturally, this matter is your discretion, brother. You make the call.  

Edit: @Rosie1jack2pauline3, I think I spared your son from looking this up. You're not violating their copyright usage by copying and pasting material from gotquestions so long as you give them proper credit for it. I notice that you do.

I’ve already spoken with my Son, he deals with reserved copyright ,it’s part of his profession..as you say I’m not violating their copyright, unless as my Son said, it’s for financial gain, then you best watch out, plus our copyright laws are different in the UK....thanks for posting Brother...I was pretty frantic and immediately phoned my Son ,anyway as you say it’s George call.....

All credit to God who introduced me to GOT.

Important Fact: The Word of God itself is not, and should not be copyrighted, only the format or style in which it is presented.

As Paul says: 

2Ti 2:9
(9)  Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

If you copy and paste material from gotquestions.org, then be sure to include that it's from gotquestions.org. There are different ways to do that.

What Scripture says Jesus is the church?

 

 

Ephesians 1:23 In-Context

22 God put all things under Christ's feet and gave Him to the church as supreme Lord over all things. 23 The church is Christ's body, the completion of Him who Himself completes all things everywhere

 

Revelation 21:9-11:

As the Corporate =Body Church we are the Bride of Jesus, Who is the Groom. But we are here called the Bride of Jesus, who is the Lamb. Jesus in not only the Groom but He is also the Lamb Who gave His life for our salvation.

Christ Jesus is

.The Head of The church

. The Groom of the bride

. The Lamb of God

you did not provide the scripture..or you did not post the words of the scripture for discussion...

I do not say that you are right or wrong...we have to see what the scripture says. 

You need to post the wording of the scripture.

My question was and still is "how do you give "proper credit ..." for the context....not for the ownership of the context..
