I'm a commercial flipper. I don't like watching them so I flip to other stations when they come on. So today I flip to "Power of 10" in which they ask the question, "What percentage of Americans believe Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene?" The scary part is the answer was 29%. 29%! Are you kidding me? Over 1/4 of Americans think Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene!
So here's my question. Obviously I think that is wrong, so who is the bride of Christ?
If you need some help, try Eph. 5:27...

i'm not gonna answer your question, but i'm also a flipper and landed on that show last week.
the question was what percentage of americans have read the Bible cover to cover. 31%! i was surprised. i guessed 5%! i'm thankful i was wrong, but wonder if that's the truth or if some of that 31% lied because they thought/knew they should have read it all.
hmmm...i've read it all. anybody else? if not, sign up to read it through with the church. starts in february. hey, read it all again!
the church is the bride of Christ
Many syncretistic religions formed gnosticism. Gnosticism was rivaling against Christianity and gnosticism held itself better religion as Christianity was. Word gnosticism comes from Greek word gnosis, which means knowledge. Gnosticism had various effects, for instance, some Gnostics taught that divinity can be achieved through unity of the man and woman. This thought led some Gnostics to reach for divinity through sexual intercourse between the man and woman. There existed also some Gnostics, who abstained from sexual intercourse. When we know the fact that Gnostics held Christians as their enemies and that Gnostics held themselves better as Christians and that Gnostics wanted to show in every way that Gnosticism was better as Christianity, so Gnostics made so called gnostic gospels were they twisted, slandered and misrepresented the real gospels. Gnostics went so far in this misrepresent that they wrote "new gospels" by faking the real gospels. In these faked gospels Gnostics wrote that Jesus Christ was an ordinary man who has a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene.
