The Church IS NOT THE BRIDE of the Lord Jesus

[The Lord Jesus, Paul, and John argue against the Pre-Tribulation, Pre-Wrath Rapture theories]

Since it is clear from the Written Word of God, the Bible, that the Church is THE BODY, THE HOUSEHOLD, and NOT THE BRIDE of the Lord Jesus, these false doctrines simply crumble under the weight of their own extra-Biblical arguments, because now the Lord Jesus has to take out of the earth the new Jerusalem instead of the church, when the new Jerusalem is yet to come down from heaven at the end of the age. Mighty confusing, isn't it?

Now who is talking straight here, the Bible or the proponents of the Pre-Tribulation, Pre-Wrath Rapture theories? Both cannot be true, we are aware of that. But we also know that the Lord

Jesus is truth, and His Word is truth.

And here is the truth:

The church is the BODY, the HOUSEHOLD, of the Lord Jesus (Col. 1:24; 1Cor. 12:27; Eph. 1:22,23; Heb. 3:6)

The New Jerusalem is the BRIDE, the WIFE of the Lamb (Rev. 21:1,2; Rev. 21:9,10)

The Church IS NOT THE BRIDE of the Lord Jesus

Read: Revelation 21:1,2; Rev. 21:9,10
Title: The Bride, the Lamb's wife

Who is the bride of the Lord Jesus?

Let us be clear at this point that the church is THE BODY of the Lord Jesus (Col. 1:24);

And the saints will be invited to the wedding supper (Rev. 19:9), but the bride, the WIFE OF THE LAMB, is the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, which will be adorned with the righteous acts of the saints (Rev. 19:8).

How about (2Cor.11:2)?

The topic here is False Apostles/Teachers, and what Paul is saying is that he doesn't want to see the church fornicating with false teachers and their false doctrines, but instead be sincere and pure in their devotion to the Lord Jesus, the Christ.
