How do you make sense of Ephesians when Paul talks about Christ and his Church? Christ isn’t a bigamist. There’s just one wife just as there is one Church. We don’t ‘worship Rome’, we follow the Church as established by Christ himself.
It appears you think Jesus is already married to an institution, the RCC.
Actually, He is not married “yet,” and His bride will be those who have chosen/continued in a personal relationship with Him through faith, not those who have aligned themselves with a temporal institution.
Jesus will marry his bride (Revelation 19) after the angels separate the wheat from the tares (Matthew 13).
Yes, there is one Church, which consists of ALL those who’ve been adopted into the family of God.
You and I will never agree, it seems. It’s a paradigm thing. I consider the Church to consist of those whom the Lord has saved and adopted. You consider the Church to be the Roman Catholic institution.
