"I'm Married to Jesus!"

I remember in my early 20's when I was in hot pursuit of a relationship. Women would tell me, "I'm married to Jesus." 

If these Christian women correctly read and understood Biblical literature, they would know that the bride of Christ is not an individual female, but men and women. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew deity vehemently reminds Israel that they -- men and women -- are his wife. Such is the case when it comes to the bride of Christ -- it's not an individual woman, but a heterogeneous community of men and women.

That's neither here nor there. The real reason for writing this is not to expose the folly of Christian women, but to examine their "marriage" to Jesus from a psychological and emotional standpoint.

Being "married to Jesus" is psychological and emotional comfort to foil insecurities and to fill a void. These happen to be women who are single or can't have prosperous relationships. They have troubles keeping a man that will "accept them for them". They don't feel loved. As a result, they turn to Jesus -- the one man that will "tolerate" and "love" them. 

Observe these women. Really listen to the things that they say and how they act. You will reach the conclusion that they are insecure and emotionally disturbed. They have all sorts of character defects. These flaws sabotage their relationships with tangible men.

We all know how proud women can be. Rather than look in the mirror and fix what's wrong, these women would rather "marry Jesus" -- an intangible man that'll "love" them no matter how great the sin.

It's just one thing -- the Bible doesn't say that Jesus is married to an individual woman, but to a heterogeneous community of men and women; they are the Bride of Christ.

The other thing is this -- what if these very women found out that the one man that will "love" them -- no matter their shortcomings -- is no different than Captain America?
