[2 Corinthians 11:2 KJV] "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." ******** Paul is not saying the body of Christ is the bride of Christ. He is alluding to the saints being faithful to Christ.

Agreed. Nowhere is the Church called the bride. The church is compared to begin a bride, but not called the bride. We are called His body, flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone.

Meanwhile, the Bible is very clear that God had wed Israel, divorced her, and will re-wed. We are His body, and Israel is His bride.

Much love!

The verse says they are "espoused".......so that means they belong to Jesus.
This means they are become a BRIDE (Espoused) to the "husband" who is Jesus.....and the "bride" is all the born again.

Its just illustrative just as this verse ********* [Romans 7:4 KJV] "Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God."

Either verse is useful to prove that a born again beliver is become the Bride of Jesus. And every born again believer is the NT Church.

The BELIEVER who is born again, is the current building, and this building gets a remodel at the Rapture.

Every Born again believer is become "the Temple of the Holy Spirit" which is the Bride of Christ.....the NT Church.

Here is a thought.

The literal Church of God are all the born again believers sitting in the church building.

"to present you as as pure virgin to Christ" (2Corinthians 11:2)

"Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands." (Ephesians 5:24)

We arent the bride
we are members of his body
The bride is in Revelation and is the New Jerusalem of believing Israel

Yes, New Jerusalem will come *as* a bride (Revelation 21:2). Bring it!
