So, rather than presume that it is I'd like to return to that verse and in future posts return to your excellent and relevant points in your reply.

12"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."

This verse states that our human physical body is like the Christ. We have a head and a body ...so also Christ. His body here refers to His corporate Body... the many members of Christ. The Head (Christ) and His Body (all the believers) are one in the same way that our head and bodies are also one. They are not only connected and attached but also are intrinsically one life and one living.

Do you agree with my understanding of this verse?

Hi Drake,

You forgot to say that only those in the Recovery are the body of Christ, and not those in "degraded Christianity." I heard that many times during my visits to Anaheim.
