One of Paul's letters goes so far as to present the Church as the bride of Christ

The pope has erred...The church is not 'yet' the bride of Christ...The wedding in heaven has not yet taken place and the marriage supper of the Lamb has not taken place...

2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Not only did Paul NOT present the church as the bride of Christ, he (Paul) presents the church as the 'engaged' (espoused) virgin...

Some folks claim the wedding has taken place alreay which one would have to destroy and pervert a lot of scripture to achieve...And they act as tho they can still become part of the bride of Christ AFTER the wedding has taken place...Funny...
