   The WMSCOG insist that the bride in Revelations 22:17 is also giving the water of life so therefore she is God becuase only God has authority to give life. Also in order to receieve enternal life we MUST come to both the Spirit and the bride, because according to them, BOTH are giving life. Well let's find out if their claim is actually true and is biblical.

17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

  

   Where does it say the bride is actually giving the water of life and has the same authority as God? Notice how it doesn't really say that. Just because the Spirit and the bride are saying "Come!" Does not imply that the bride is giving life along with the Spirit. If that were true, then will the WMSCOG also insist that the one who hears and says "Come!" is also God? That one is also saying "Come!" just like the bride is.

  

   Jesus said in John 4:14- "but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." So who is giving the water of life? It is Jesus Christ. Nowhere in the bible does it say that the bride is actually giving the water of life. If the WMSCOG says we MUST come to both the Spirit and the bride to recieve life because of what it says in Rev. 22:17. Then they must also say we MUST come to the Spirit, bride, and who ever hears. All are saying "Come!" Are they not?

   

   It is Jesus that gives the water of life. Which means, to recieve it, we MUST go to Him and Him only. It is un biblical to say that the bride gives life. Jesus Christ said He is the Truth the way and the life. To go to someone else for life is un biblical.
