Here’s what I’ll give you, it’s up to you to decide for yourself. I believe the Church is Christ’s Bride.
Ephesians 5:24-27
2 Corinthians 11:2
Revelation 19:7-9
It does you no harm to believe so, friend. As in so many other instances, people read and interpret scripture differently, otherwise we wouldn’t have 30,000 Christian sects in the world. I was not (and I hope you didn’t take it so) saying that you were wrong, only that we view it differently, just as Christians might disagree on baptism, the Lord’s prayer, and many other interpretations.
