Who is the Bride of the Lamb?

Please can you quote some of the verses which refer to the Church as Christ Bride?

According to Ephesians the church is the bride.

Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Sir, the Church is the Body of Christ. So how can the Church be His Bride?

The Bride of the Lamb is THE HOLY JESRUSALEM.

For it is written in Revelation 21::9-12,
"And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel

LOL Absolutely is absolutely correct. The church and the body are speaking about the same thing. Both the body/temple and the church/Temple are full of the believers and lovers of Christ. Church is where ever there are two or three gathered together in the name of Christ and every member of the church are all a part of the body working together for Christ which means that every believer is a part of the church which are all a part of the body and so on.
Why make something soooo simple soooo complicated.

BRIDE OF CHRIST. Although the specific phrase “bride of Christ” does not appear in the NT, the concept is found in several NT works as a description of the Church. Paul describes the Corinthian believers as having been betrothed to Christ and presented as a bride to her husband (2 Cor 11:2; cf. Rom 7:1–6). In Eph 5:21–33 the relationship between husband and wife is explained in terms of the relationship that exists between Christ and the Church. The author of Revelation applies the metaphor of the bride of the Lamb (Christ), not only to the Church (19:7), but also to the new Jerusalem, the heavenly city, which is the eschatological manifestation of the people of God (21:2, 9). The source for this imagery is found in the OT where the relationship between Israel and God is often spoken of in marital terms (Isa 54:1–6; Jer 31:32; Ezek 16:8; Hos 2).

New Jerusalem
New Jerusalem is the home Jesus left to prepare for his disciples (Jn 14:3) It's radiance/beauty has the characteristics of a bride on her wedding day.

2 Cor 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
(NOTE: Paul say's about those he lead/won to the Lord: I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.)

Eph 5:
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
(NOTE: The Wife/Body of Christ/CHURCH is subject to Christ)

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
(NOTE: Christ loved the church= Body of Christ/ His Wife to be)

Luke 5:
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
(NOTE: Context is Jesus disciples)

34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
(NOTE: Children of the bridechamber =Jesus disciples. Bridegroom = Jesus)

35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
(NOTE: Is it the New Jerusalem that Jesus will soon be taken away from? No, it'sd his disciples/bride/church) My Opinion Only.

The bride of Christ are the redeemed. God uses lambs to represent the redeemed, the a first born of God or born again. And a Ass to represent those not redeemed.

Exodus 34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

The holy Jerusalem are residents descending out of heaven. Not the the earthly corrupted Jerusalem but the incorruptible born again . Her name was changed from Israel to Christian by the father.

Christian a more befitting name to represent all the nations .Christian a word when defined and no other meaning added .Simply means residents of the city of Christ the heavenly

The heaven incorruptible Jerusalem named after her husband and founder Christ.

Isaiah 62 For Zion's (the heavenly incorruptible city) sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's (the earthly corrupted) sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. ..

Called Christian the beautiful city. Named by God therefore .fulfilling the promise in Isaiah 62. The whole chapter speaks of Christian the new name

Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

The same kind of a parable used with Paul and Timothy. Paul the surrogate womb the church as the mother of us all labored in pains when offering the gospel in a hope Christ would be formed in Timothy. Timothy who is referred to a chaste virgin bride espoused as mankind to Christ "men and woman as new creatures". or called "sons of God". Not what we are but what we will be. Neither male nor female Jew not Gentile.

Same kind of parable hiding the gospel understanding form natural unconverted mankind (Ass)

Isaiah 62; 5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons (mankind) marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

The church is heavenly Jerusalem the mother of us all.
