Jesus is God - is Jesus the bridegroom?

Some relevant NT passages snipped from the blog post

Jesus referred to Himself as the bridegroom when He talked about why His disciples didn’t fast (Mark 2:18 – 20). Likewise, John, the Baptist, presented himself as the bridegroom’s friend and declared that the bride belongs to the bridegroom (John 3:29). The bride of Christ or the church consists of the entire body of believers throughout the ages, all who have received salvation by grace through faith. The New Jerusalem is also referred to as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband and alludes to Christ as the bridegroom (Revelation 21:2, 9 – 10).

Some relevant OT passages
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... ersion=NIV

For your Maker is your husband—
the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.

I think the union between man and God that was restablished in Jesus is quite clear. When we put our faith in Jesus we are accepting that what Jesus did has united God and man. It took God to unite what man tore apart.

So, Jesus is God or is Jesus some rando that calls himself the bridegroom?

. BTW, Jehovah is not husband to literal Israel any more since they as a whole rejected Jesus as the Messiah.

That is a good point; Jehovah is no longer "married to the fleshly nation or Israel. And also the wedding of that lamb has yet to take place. Its a future event that will happen just before Armageddon.

Do that mean that Isaiah 54:5 you posted is not what you mean before?

Yes, it is Jesus as the bridegroom. Wootah is correct and Jesus is God.

Explanation : John 10:35, 36 proves that Jesus is not Almighty God.

Jesus is not God, and he didn't make it up that he is the bridegroom. Jehovah is called the husband of Israel, God Almighty, and Jesus is the bridegroom of all anointed Christians because he is the means by which Jehovah could conclude an agreement with spiritual Israelites and the bride of Christ. "Like Father, like Son" is the catch phrase here. Jesus reflected the truths concerning his Father who is God Almighty. (Colossians 1:15)

Imagine being called the bridegroom and then getting cucked on your wedding day by another man marrying your bride, not just another man your but father..

You are turning God into a Jerry Springer episode.

I've never seen JW so unwilling to explain. I think we have got him.
