Can we be both the body and the bride of Christ? Has God been symbolically married in the past? From where did the notion of the church being the bride of Christ arise? For my entire Christian experience, I’ve been taught, as you probably were too, that we the church, the body of Christ, are also the Bride of Christ. Preachers and teachers refer to the church as the Bride of Christ dogmatically, as a pillar of our Christian faith. I never seriously questioned that doctrine even though I could find no scripture passage from Paul, our apostle, calling us the Bride of Christ. In fact, the phrase Bride of Christ, is nowhere in the KJB. So, let’s look at the passages used to support the idea that we, the body of Christ, are also the bride of Christ. Remember, the Bible is our source of truth, not the teachings of men nor church tradition.
