That everyone To Be "The Body Of Christ"
has been, and Is, and will be The Bride Of Christ.
That everyone who not only believes on The Lord Jesus Christ will be saved.
But they are also Christ's Bride.
But why?
When this goes against what Jesus Himself said
of The Kingdom Of Heaven being likened to 10 Virgins - Matt.25
This phrase The Bride Of Christ
is of a false doctrine to include all "The Body Of Christ" on earth as The Lamb's Wife in heaven.
Because this position as Christ's Wife is believed to be
the only position of salvation for "The Body Of Christ".
Christ does not have a bride or wife.
Only The Lamb, Who comes back as The King OF Kings and Lord Of Lords
in heavenly Jerusalem has a Bride/Wife there.
How many of you would still want to be a part of "The Body Of Christ" here on earth;
if you were taught that you very well may not become "The Lamb's Wife" in heavenly Jerusalem ?
Church leaders tell you this false doctrine so they can pat you on the head and make you feel good about being "The Body Of Christ" as if you were A Bride Of Christ as the big reward of being "The Body Of Christ".
THERE IS NO SUCH POSITION AS A BRIDE FO CHRIST IN THE SCRIPTURES.
STOP BELIEVING A LIE.
STOP SPREADING THIS LIE.
STOP FEARING THE TRUTH.
Not everyone will be "The Lamb's Wife".
Salvation does not mean being Married To the Lamb.
In Revelations 19: 7-9...``Let us be glad and rejoice and give Honor to him, for the marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready..and to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white for the fine linen is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SAINTS.........And he said to me , Write, Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the lamb, and he said to me .`These are the true sayings of God``....... All the people in the bride of Christ will come from the body of Christ...... But still there will be a margin of people from the body of Christ who do fall into iniquity and when people fall in unrepentant iniquity then faith is blocked , and if people lack faith than they can be lost....
When Was The Great Multitude that said this Granted to wear clean white linen? - Rev.7:9
When she came out of the great trib and Washed her robe white in The blood of The Lamb. - Rev.7:14
For John saw The Lamb before The Throne as though it had been slain. - Rev.5:6
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Paul's anology is of The Husband & The Wife being like Christ and His Church.
Not Christ and His Church being as Husband & Wife.
- "Wives submit to you own Husbands As Unto The Lord." - Ephs.5:22
- For The Husband is head of The Wife AS Also Christ Is Head Of The Church
He Who Is The SAVIOR of The Body. [greek] - Not Husband Of The Body.
- "Therefor JUST AS The Church Is Subject To Christ,
So Let The Wives Being Subject To Their Own Husbands In everything."
- Husbands love your wives
JUST AS Christ Also Loved The Church and gave Himself for it."
- In LIKE MANNER Husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies;
he that loves his wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own flesh
but nourishes and cherishes it, EVEN AS THE LORD DOES THE CHURCH." [greek]
"For we are members of His fleah and of His bone.
"FOR THIS CAUSE, shall MAN leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife
AND They Two Will Be One Flesh."
"This mystery is a great one, but I am speaking of Christ and of The Church"
"HOWEVER DO YOU ALSO serverally love each one his own Wife as himself
and let the Wife see that she reverance her Husband." - [greek]
(Christ and His Church is a great mystery.
Paul didn't consider to have figured out that Christ and His Church is like The Husband & Wife.)
The Husband and Wife was to be like Christ and His Church. ~
So I only quoted the bible and you feel the need to explain yourself? Why would that be?
At any rate, does the bridegroom have a bride?
John 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
I use to try to "force my religion on others" like you. But I've learn over the years to just trust Holy Spirit, who gave us the word.
Anyway, who exactly do you think the LAMB is? Do you not know that the lamb is Christ?
So yes, there is indeed a bride of Christ in the scriptures, something that you have denied.

So does the bridegroom have a bride or not? Surely the scriptures show Christ as the bridegroom.
And btw, the 5 virgins in Matt 25 that got 'left behind', Christ said to them "I know you not" .... They were not members of the church.
Being "The Body Of Christ' on earth
does not constitute being "The Lamb's Wife" in heavenly Jerusalem.
Rev.9:7 - Rev.19:1,7,8 - Rev.21:9,10
The Bride Of Christ is only the quote of a false church doctrine.
The Bride Of Christ is not the quote of Scripture.
If The Bridegroom HAS The Bride, whose He coming back for?
He does not HAVE His Bride yet.
If they were His Bride?
He would have taken them with Him when He came and went back to heavenly Jerusalem.
Where He said He goes to His Father's House of many manisons (the city of Jerusalem)
where He went to make Jerusalem NEW by The blood of The Lamb. Instead of bulls & goats.
Which The Great Multitude will wash their Robes in after they come out of the great Trib. - Rev.7:9,14
Notice, neither Jesus nor John The Baptist considered Jesus Disciples has The Bride.
They were "Friends Of The Bridegroom".
If every believer IS The Bride Of Christ as we taught.
Why did Jesus and John say His Disciples were only "The Friends Of The Bridegroom"?
Matt:9:15 - John 3:29
