The church is the bride, meaning the entire church in the world, all who are in relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The varying groupings and denominations are secondary to our our unity in Christ. <br /><br />As you say, Tobias, we are not spouses to other Christians, except for our one chosen spouse, but rather sisters and brothers in Christ.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.com
