>> the Bride is in two places, on earth and in heaven with Christ.<<

You said >>Christ’s Bride, the Church,<<

The verse I gave you is:

Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Are you saying the church is “new Jerusalem”?

Are you saying the church is “new Jerusalem”?

Absolutely. The new Jerusalem is the dwelling place of God's people, the Church. Read Hebrews 12:22ff. Paul tells us the same thing in Galatians 4. The Church is also the tabernacle, the dwelling place of God. See Rev. 21:3. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

This is Theology 101 stuff. I'm surprised you have trouble with it.
