Hosea 2:16 King James Version
And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
Hosea 2:16 New International Version
“In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;
you will no longer call me ‘my master.[a]
Hosea 2:16 New English Translation
At that time,”[a] declares the Lord,
“you will call,[b] ‘My husband’;[c]
you will never again call me,[d] ‘My master.’[e
And it shall come to pass on that day, says the Lord, you shall call [Me] Ishi, and you shall no longer call Me Baali.
יחוְהָיָ֚ה בַיּֽוֹם־הַהוּא֙ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֔ה תִּקְרְאִ֖י אִישִׁ֑י וְלֹֽא־תִקְרְאִי־לִ֥י ע֖וֹד בַּעֲלִֽי:
The word ish, yes, it means man.
Ishi, however translates to "My Husband" as can be clearly seen in the variety of translations here.
Ishi is what is written in the text, which is different from ish.
Notice there is a yod at the end of Ishi, whereas the last letter of ish is shin.
1 Thessalonians 5:20 King James Version
Despise not prophesyings.
And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
Hosea 2:16 New International Version
“In that day,” declares the Lord,
“you will call me ‘my husband’;

1 Thessalonians 5:20 King James Version
Despise not prophesyings.
The Lord teaches us in a way that we can relate to and understand. He said there will be no male and female in Heaven, but we will be as the angels. We are referred to as his sheep, his son's, his children, his joint-heirs, his body, and yes, his bride. All this in the unity with him when our salvation is complete. To say the Church is a woman shows lack of understanding.

i like that you understand one verse doesn’t exclude or erase any others
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
Acts 17:24-28, 30-31
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:3 KJV
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2 Timothy 2:24-26
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, ( the early church all Jews that believed in Jesus ) If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV

Thall it’s a recurring part of the gospel a goal all of us should have to be like the scriptures teach us to be it’s what it’s all about considering the things Gid taught us in Christ like being kind even to enemies or people who offend us or insult us
“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:27-29, 35-
for me what you shared there from Paul comes from this that Jesus taught many times treat people like you care about them and like you want to be treated with decency and fairness and kindness compassion even
Its a high goal to have but that’s what disciples are about shooting for the stars based on what the teacher taught
principles like this in the gospel is what we need to learn and apply

Deception and following false prophets will bring about strange beliefs that have nothing to do with the New Testament covenant and our salvation.
It seems you have not accepted Christ and follow the false prophets. Sadly, that is not salvation. You can follow Jesus but you cannot follow liars and deceivers at the same time.
Perhaps the Lord has brought you here so that you might hear the truth and acknowledge your error and come out of the deception. I pray that you do.
The Bible teaches we are all born as sinners and are lost until we repent and choose to follow Christ. I don't expect you will be here that long as you continue in the heretical views of your lost prophets.

No I have not nor have I heard this ever from any prophet. Some believe since its written "He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and listens to him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this pleasure and joy of mine is now complete." And when Christ said I go to my Fathers house to make you a place so where I am you will be. This is like a old Jewish wedding where they dad and son pay a price for her then he goes back to his fathers house to make them a home. She stays behind and does not know when he is coming and always had to be watching candle lit. Then about a year later come come with some friends mostly at night makes a noise so she knows hes coming. Gets her takes her back to his fathers house for about a week.
That part is just a old Jewish wedding. So bride or what ever I don't care haha. I will be dressed in fine white linen "And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. "
