Yes, the Bride of Christ is His Church. Mormons claim either Jesus or His bride were unfaithful (a.k.a. "great apostasy").

This scripture says nothing about infinite gods and goddesses.
Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction -Pope Benedict XVI

I have to say, Elohim was probably wise to leave Heavenly Mother(s) at home watching the kids and not telling the world very much about her.

I mean, look at all the troubles involving Zeus and Hera. Hera is wandering all over the place, turning people into monsters or giving them curses because she is mad at something Zeus did. Zeus has to hide all his dalliances with other women from Hera to avoid her wrath (like Joseph with Emma).

Then you have Isis getting all the credit for resurrecting Osiris. If Osiris had been smart enough not to let people know about his wife, Osiris would have been revered for resurrecting on his own.

We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all goddesses, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.

Yeah, I suppose there are some harridans and harpies on this Earth.

It says something about what a husband is supposed to do for his wife. HM is HF's wife.
