I understand the origin of their belief, but it has no biblical basis and is therefore wrong.
The car parts and the piano keys make up ONE car and ONE piano. But the Bible does not talk of "many wives" making "one bride." It speaks of "many 'MEMBERS'" making up “His bride.” Big difference.
Nowhere does the Bible say Jesus has "many wives" or that His bride consists of "many wives".
