"If Mary is the new Eve, then that would mean she is the bride of the New Adam, Jesus. But not even you guys believe that. Your typology makes no sense if she is new Eve. How does Mary fulfill any of the typology of Eve?"

According to Genesis 3:15, the New Eve was to be the mother of the New Adam: "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed."

***If Mary is the new Eve, then that would mean she is the bride of the New Adam, Jesus.***


Who is the Bride of Christ?

"For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church."

The Church is the Bride of Christ.


Ephesians 5:23
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church:


To say that Mary is the mother AND wife of Christ is something the NT writers would have considered immoral and scandeous beyond measure...

1 Corinthians 5
"It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife."
