ARE YOU THE BRIDE?
A popular Christian-based group has a tradition that at the end of each of their gatherings, someone asks, “Who is the church?” In response, the entire group proclaims, “We are the church!” This particular group is made up of Catholics and Protestants, Muslims and Atheists, as well as adherents to other, less popular religions. Are they the church? I don’t know. Maybe. The word “church” stems from the name of an ancient Teutonic deity, and the Germanic origin of the word itself is kirke. Maybe they are that, but they, as well as most Christian-based faiths nowadays, also equate being the church with being the bride of Scripture – and that they clearly are not. The church and the bride are very different entities.
