NASB | Ephesians 5:32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:32 This mystery [of two becoming one] is great; but I am speaking with reference to [the relationship of] Christ and the church. |
Subject: Is the bride of christ the church? |
Bible Note: Tim, I have heard that St Augustine knew a little about Scripture. He wrote a book titled The City Of God, which equated the City of God and the Church. So if the New Jerusalem is the City of God and it is inhabited by the Saints of God and the New Jerusalem is the Bride, I think we can decue that the Church is the Bride. Scripture also says that Bride and the Groom become "one body." Hmmm! The Church is the "body" of Christ. hmmm. Emmaus |
