Subject: Is the bride of christ the church? |
Bible Note: Greetings Sam! I happen to agree that the church is never directly called the 'Bride of Christ'. :) However, in Eph. 5:25 'church' is feminine in gender, as is the pronoun describing the church. So, 'her' would be the appropriate translation of the Greek. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
