Body Of Christ
What is a "body of Christ"?
The body of Christ was figured by Jesus himself that it contains of many members.
And it was boldly described by Paul, as one body in Christ that has many members.
When Paul says; "So WE being many" it covers all members which are in Rome whether Jews or Gentiles even him. In fact, Paul is a Jew also in blood.
And the "body of Christ" was the believers of Christ in particular.
And that body of Christ is the church, scattered in every places.
Now, when was the church or the body of Christ established?
And what is our(Gentiles) relation to the church in Israel?
You see? we are one body of Christ with the nation Israel because we are all baptized into one spirit.
